The former WWE Superstar has spoken about working with Cole when they were part of NXT. Back in June 2021, the two men battled for the NXT Championship as part of a fatal-five-way match, with Kross coming out on top.
Ahead of that encounter, the current AEW star cut a promo where he criticized Kross’ appeal without his impressive entrance and alliance with Scarlett.

Eventually, Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux received their WWE releases on November 4, 2021.
