On June 15, 2024, 2 Cold Scorpio was arrested after he allegedly sta**ed a person at a Love’s Travel Stop in Kansas City. Scorpio was working as a security guard for the store at the time of the incident. Earlier this month, the former WWE star pleaded guilty and is scheduled to be sentenced in October.

Scorpio is set to make his return to the squared circle for the first time in a year. He will soon make his debut for SVN Wrestling in Los Angeles. The 60-year-old will battle MASADA in a one-on-one match at SVN: Violent Nature. The event will take place at the LA Church on August 29.

Before the match, SVN Wrestling made the following announcement about 2 Cold Scorpio’s upcoming debut:

“LOS ANGELES — 2 Cold Scorpio makes his SVN debut on August 29th at the LA Church against the Ultra Violent Beast MASADA. Two legends go head-to-head for the first time ever! SVN: Violent Nature — 8/29/26, Los Angeles.”

You can view the official announcement on Instagram below.

Former WWE champion Xavier Woods called 2 Cold Scorpio his favorite wrestler

Xavier Woods’ remarkable WWE run ended earlier this year when he was reportedly asked to take a pay cut. He and Kofi Kingston are now free agents. The duo is widely expected to join AEW soon.

In June 2022, Woods took to X to reveal that 2 Cold Scorpio was his favorite wrestler. The former New Day member also disclosed that he had modeled his wrestling career after the veteran.

“The 2 Cold Scorpio vibe is exactly what I’ve tried to model my career after. Someone who can come out and dance/have a good time but then when the bell rings it’s time to go. He’s by far my favorite wrestler,” Woods wrote.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Woods and Scorpio in pro wrestling.
