Killer Kross and Scarlett have revealed they’re making more money now than they did in WWE.
Following their exit from WWE in August 2025, Killer Kross and Scarlett returned to the independent circuit. They recently spoke to Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo on The Coach and Bro Show and revealed that they are making more money now than they did in WWE.
“This sounds crazy, and probably not very believable,” Scarlett began, “but it’s something I feel like the people in WWE right now who might be stressed out and like, going to get released, they might want to hear this. We are making more than we were making there.
“We were getting paid very well, but we are making more now weekly on the shows we’re doing than we were at WWE. And WWE pays great, but it can be done if you hustle. So, if anyone right now in any company has fear that you’re going to get released, what am I going to do? Work hard, keep your social media going. You’re going to be fine.”
Killer Kross Said Their Income Does Not Come From Independent Shows Alone
Killer Kross also added that the income does not come solely from competing in independent events, but also from other avenues, like independent merchandise and games, among others.
“You have the shows, you have independent merchandising, you have toys. There’s independent video games being developed that a lot of people don’t know about; they’re looking for unsigned talent. There’s the conventions.
“Your income will not solely come from the independent shows per se, but being an independent contractor, and you’re not under the umbrella of somewhere, you have a whole world wide open.”
Scarlett added that wrestlers could monetize their social media platforms.
