It was then Bordeaux chimed in with her own experience following January and the release of her and Kross’ Final Testament stablemates. According to both her and Kross, WWE suddenly started leaving Bordeaux out of backstage vignettes that Kross would be a part of. It was only after Bordeaux returned to Kross’ side during a backstage segment involving him and AJ Styles that the couple learned that WWE was attempting to phase Bordeaux out of Kross’ presentation.

“So, there were a few people in the locker room that would always fight for us,” Bordeaux said. “AJ Styles was one of them. AJ would always fight for us, Miz would always fight for us. Great people. So, every single time we had to do a backstage [segment]…I know some people noticed ‘Oh, why isn’t Scarlett in this?’ Every single week, Kross would ask ‘Why isn’t Scarlett written into this? She can just be there.’ They said ‘Oh, not this week, not this week.’ 

“So a few months went by. AJ’s supposed to be in this backstage with us, and he like ‘It doesn’t make sense that you’re not in this.’ And I’m like ‘Well that’s what I thought too, but every week, they say no.’ AJ went to the office, got approved that I could be in it. Later on, we shoot that, and one of the producers comes up to me and says ‘How did you sneak yourself in there?’ And I’m like ‘So this has been something that’s been talked about, to remove me. It felt that way, for sure.”
