Wrestling news outlet WrestleZone reached out to 2K about Scarlett in WWE 2K23, revealing that she's still in the game as a manager. Scarlett was removed from the WWE 2K23 roster list since managers are not considered to be active competitors in the ring. Fortunately, she will still be available as a manager for Karrion Kross in WWE 2K23. “Scarlett will be available in WWE 2K23 as a manager – managers are not featured on the roster which is why she is not on the list,” 2K said.
