WWE Rumor Roundup: Real reason Scarlett has been kept off the main roster, Major SummerSlam title changes, big plan for CM Punk in AEW (19th August 2021)

#4. Reason why Scarlett has not joined her partner Karrion Kross on WWE RAW

Scarlett has been a huge part of Karrion Kross' journey in WWE NXT. Not only are the two paired on-screen, but they are also partners in real life. Unlike Kross, Scarlett has not yet made her main roster debut. The NXT Champion has had a lackluster showing on WWE RAW without Scarlett by his side.

It was reported earlier that the reason behind Kross' 50-50 booking on RAW is to make him appear weak initially, only to gain momentum when Scarlett finally joined him on the main roster.

PWInsider has noted that the actual reason for Scarlett's absence is her not being cleared for competition. Mike Johnson of PWI said that “she just needed to take some time for something”.
