The former NXT manager Scarlett Bordeaux, who managed former NXT star and husband, Karrion Kross, recently discussed the plan WWE had for her. She had joined NXT in 2019 alongside Karrion Kross with the duo debuting in 2020. Scarlett served as Kross’ manager during his time in NXT, but worked a dark match in June 2021 as Kross was called up to the main roster without her. Scarlett Bordeaux had also previously revealed sad news about Jeff Hardy.
Scarlett opens up on the WWE plans
peaking to Renee Paquette on Oral Sessions, Scarlett discussed the plans WWE had for her and why they never came to fruition. She revealed that she wasn’t medically cleared but she worked dark matches on RAW and SmackDown. She said:
“I wasn’t medically cleared yet,” she said. “I was having matches before Raw and SmackDown because they wanted me to wrestle. After the second match, everything was going great, I get home and look in the mirror and I’m like, ‘One of these doesn’t look like the other.’ [referencing her boobs]. The next day was NXT and I immediately go to medical and I’m like, ‘Hey, I’m not sure if I’m going crazy or if they always looked like this. Maybe I’m just tired.’
She revealed having some health issues due to which WWE had to nix certain plans for her:
“With the adrenaline from wrestling, you don’t notice certain things hurt all the time, so I didn’t think anything of it. I went to medical and they were like, ‘Yes, one of your boobs is totally gone.’ I was like, ‘I can get the surgery and can manage and be ringside, that’s no problem, I just can’t wrestle right away.’ The plan was, I guess for me to wrestle so they were like, ‘When you’re totally clear, you’re gonna wrestle.’ They scrapped all the managing stuff at that point and I was sitting at home for those last four months just waiting.”
Later in the interview, Scarlett was asked if there were plans for her to manage Kross on the main roster:
“They had us doing Main Event and dark matches. I was joking with him the day I had to wrestle, ‘what if the match is too good and they like it and want to separate us?’ That was one of my fears. He was like, ‘No, kill it, it’ll be fine no matter.’ The first match was really good and immediately when they saw it, I could wrestle,” she said.
