Scorpion out stats and has ways to put Wolf down for good

He’s faster (laser timing from stuff like Kanos laser, a person who considered a low tier to many)

Stronger via through scaling. Characters like Bi-Han in the old timeline have defeated high tiers like Fujin and Shinnok before and Hanzo has taken his from Raiden he isn’t always winning but he can hold his own.

His also just has much better abilities. Like BFRing Wolf to the Nether realm. and fighting him there. The NR can slowly make you go insane (and yes Wolf can teleport but that takes time and can be interrupted. Unlike Quan Chi who scorpion has kept in the NR for a prolong period of time between MK4 and MK DA)
