Paul Heyman compares WWE fan support for Karrion Kross to the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin & Daniel Bryan

The Oracle comments on the ‘We want Kross’ movement!

WWE fans in recent times have made their intentions clear by rallying behind Karrion Kross and demanding that he receive a well-deserved push. According to reports, Kross was absent from this week’s Raw, and his contract is set to expire this week.

During a recent appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show, ‘The Oracle’ Paul Heyman spoke about the rising fan support for Karrion Kross, describing it as “organic” and likening it to the iconic rise of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

During the appearance, Heyman was asked about the growing support from WWE fans for Kross, who has been receiving loud reactions from the crowd despite not being positioned in main event storylines. Responding to the question, Heyman lauded Kross and Scarlett as performers and revealed his fondness for organic fan movements.

“Well, they’ve made it a thing. Okay. And it’s not just the internet. It’s the internet. It’s the live crowd. It’s it’s it’s it’s the people that buy merchandise. He’s a He’s a tremendous performer. And what an act he has with Scarlet. I mean, they are great together,” 

Heyman also pointed out that Kross being an underdog helps his cause as the crowd loves the underdog story. He also compared the fan support for Kross to the similar fan support for Kofi Kingston and Daniel Bryan in the past.

“Should he be getting more opportunities? Should he be How do you know? Well, let me ask you this. If he were getting great opportunities, if he were the intercontinental champion or the the US champion right now, would he have this level of support from the crowd? No. They love to get behind, you know, Kofi, Daniel Bryan. They love to get behind someone, the underdog, so to speak. So, it’s working,” 

They’re making him a star. We’re not shoving him and Scarlet down anybody’s throats. The audience itself is making him a star and indeed perhaps a top star and he’s talented enough and so is she to carry it.” Heyman emphasized pointing out that the fans are making him a star.

The Oracle then drew a comparison for the fan support and push for Kross to the initial rise of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin.

“It reminds me of someone else by the way that was in WWE that the audience felt this is our guy. We like this act. We like him to be a bigger star. Why aren’t you making him a bigger star? Damn it.

Make him a bigger star. We’re going to chant his name. We’re going to bring his signs. We’re going to buy his t-shirts. We’re going to demand that you make him a bigger star. That guy’s name was Steve Austin.”

Heyman also cited Daniel Bryan again and agreed with Helwani’s point, who pointed out CM Punk as a WWE star whose success was driven by fan passion and persistence. Austin, Bryan, Punk, and Kofi all became top stars in sports entertainment largely because of the massive support from fans.

Paul Heyman revealed that there was a planned payoff to the Travis Scott – The Rock angle

During the appearance, Heyman also revealed that there was a planned payoff to the Travis Scott – The Rock angle. “There was. It fell apart and we moved forward without it.”

When asked about rumors that Scott made people in the WWE angry and if he would be back at any point, the Oracle said,

“I don’t know if he’s done. Any meeting that I was in that involved Travis Scott, I got along with him fine. Have I heard things? I have. Do I know the accuracy of it? Haven’t heard Travis’ version of it. Like his music, like his taste in women that he has children with, wish I was dating one of those sisters. I’m not, he was married to one. He’s doing better in his personal life than I am.”

Heyman also commented on The Rock’s absence from WrestleMania 41,

“I don’t know what happened with Dwayne. That’s something you should have Dwayne come into these beautiful Yahoo studios and answer for himself. I don’t know. Or have Brian Gerwitz come in and I’m sure he can tell you their side of the story, I don’t know.

Especially WrestleMania, I had enough on my plate, I wasn’t really concerned with what happened with Cody Rhodes and John Cena’s storyline.”
