‘I’m going back to Chicago,’ says former WWE Superstar Magic Post

Chicago has produced many talented WWE stars over the years, including CM Punk and AJ Lee. A former WWE star returns to the Windy City at an event next month.

Scarlett Bordeaux left the biggest wrestling company in the world on August 10, alongside her real-life husband, Karrion Kross. Their contracts expired and they were not offered new ones, turning the couple into free agents.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Scarlett continued her return to the squared circle by promoting her upcoming appearance at AAW Pro’s SMOKESHOW event on November 22 at the Berwyn Eagles Club.

“I’m coming home to Chicago! ❤️‍🔥,” Bordeaux tweeted.

Scarlett Bordeaux was born and raised on the north side of Chicago, in the Edgewater neighborhood. She debuted in the local Chicago promotion Style Wrestling. She was also a regular in AAW Pro and Ohio Valley Wrestling before joining Ring of Honor.

The former WWE star currently lives in Las Vegas with her husband, Karrion Kross. They have recently returned to the independent circuit and have made several appearances for different promotions.

How did Scarlett Bordeaux become a WWE star?

In an interview with the Chicago Tribune In 2015, Scarlett Bordeaux revealed how she became a professional wrestler. It all started with her not wanting to go to her prom in 2009. She, along with a few friends, decided to attend an AAW Pro event, and the rest was history.

“I saw the girls doing it and my first impression was, ‘I can do it.’ I was never one to sit in the audience. Even when I was little, when I saw a band playing in a restaurant, I would ask them if I could sing a song,” Bordeaux said.

Bordeaux would make his in-ring debut three years later. Fast forward to 2019, she has become a WWE Superstar. His first stint lasted just two years before returning in August 2022. Karrion Kross and Bordeaux had a more memorable second season, but it was cut short by the non-renewal of their contracts.
