Just hours after Scarlett Bordeaux and her husband Karrion Kross confirmed their WWE departures, the conversation took a sharp turn online — with fans dragging AEW’s Don Callis into the mix.
Scarlett’s emotional statement thanked WWE’s locker room, calling it “the best locker room I’ve ever been part of” and telling fans, “From the bottom of my heart, thank you.” She also made it clear she’s open for bookings, saying, “The next chapter starts now and I’m ready to bring something unforgettable to any stage, anywhere in the world.”
Almost immediately, AEW chatter picked up — but it wasn’t about dream matches. Instead, Callis’ name began trending after some fans resurfaced a 2019 rumor involving an alleged sexual harassment investigation within Impact Wrestling’s management. While no names were officially confirmed and no findings were made public, speculation online quickly linked the incident to Scarlett and Callis.
Back in 2019, reports claimed that “a top management official” in Impact was investigated for “allegations of sexual harassing a former talent” and allegedly using contract extension clauses to force NDAs. One accuser reportedly received their release without an extension. The story went nowhere officially, but fan gossip has kept it alive for years.
In 2022, Scarlett made it crystal clear she and Kross wouldn’t return to Impact, telling fans during a virtual signing, “We’re never going back to Impact. Never.” That hasn’t stopped Twitter from tying the old rumor to the idea of her joining AEW — especially with Callis still in a prominent role there.
The speculation comes at a complicated time. TNA, now under Carlos Silva’s management, has a working relationship with WWE through a talent crossover deal. There’s no verified evidence linking Scarlett to the 2019 investigation, but social media’s already running with the theory — turning her AEW prospects into one of wrestling’s hottest debates of the day.
It’s clear that Scarlett’s WWE exit isn’t just sparking interest in where she’ll wrestle next — it’s reviving old whispers that never truly went away.
Do you think Scarlett will steer clear of AEW because of this fan speculation, or could she still make the jump despite the controversy? Share your thoughts in the comments.
