While you would assume getting released by WWE like Karrion Kross and Scarlett were would mean a decrease in pay, they are getting paid “more” than ever .
In a recent interview with the Coach & Bro podcast (via WrestlePurists), Kross and Scarlett discussed their current financial situation . Things are going well for the wrestlers, who are on the independent circuit.
“This sounds crazy and probably not very believable, but it’s something I feel like the people in WWE right now who might be stressed out — ‘Am I going to get released?’ — they might want to hear this: We are making more than we were making there,” Scarlett revealed. “We were getting paid very well, but we are making more now weekly on the shows we’re doing than we were at WWE.”
She did concede that “WWE pays great,”
