Paul Heyman calling for former NXT Champions’ help & return?
Paul Heyman’s empire appears to be crumbling and a surprising mid-interview moment has only fueled speculation about what could come next.
With The Vision faction ravaged by injuries, Heyman was seemingly caught reaching out to a familiar name: former WWE star Karrion Kross, now competing as Killer Kross and reigning as MLW World Champion.
The unexpected interaction occurred during Kross’s interview with Monopoly Events, where he was discussing championship aspirations when his phone buzzed at a rather uncanny moment.
Paul Heyman texts Karrion Kross
As Karrion Kross fielded a question about the world title, interviewer Jamal Niaz noticed the incoming message. Both men paused and then laughed when they realized who it was from.
“So, we just looked at the phone, and Paul Heyman has just texted. What are the chances of that?” Niaz said during the interview (1:19 onwards).
The timing immediately raised eyebrows. With permission from Kross, Niaz confirmed that the message came from “The Oracle” himself.
When pressed on why Heyman would be texting him, Kross chose not to elaborate. Instead, he deflected with a smile and asked the interviewer to continue with the previous question. The moment may have been brief, but it was enough to ignite speculation about Heyman’s next move.
The Vision in turmoil ahead of WrestleMania 42
Paul Heyman’s current situation provides context for the outreach. The core Vision lineup – Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed has been decimated by injuries.
Seth Rollins suffered a shoulder injury at Crown Jewel 2025. Breakker aggravated a hernia on the RAW following Royal Rumble 2026. Most recently, Reed tore his bicep on RAW, ruling him out indefinitely.
The stable is now reduced to Logan Paul and Austin Theory as its only active competitors. For a faction once positioned as a dominant force, the momentum has stalled dramatically.
If Heyman is indeed exploring reinforcements, reaching out to a former WWE powerhouse like Kross would not be out of character. Whether it signals a potential return or simply a personal exchange remains unclear. But in wrestling, coincidences rarely go unnoticed, especially when Paul Heyman is involved.
Why was Paul Heyman texting Karrion Kross?
The reason is unknown. Kross did not reveal the content of the message during the interview.
Who are the current active members of The Vision?
Logan Paul and Austin Theory are the only active members, as Rollins, Breakker, and Reed are sidelined with injuries.
Is Karrion Kross returning to WWE?
There is no official confirmation of a return. He is currently competing as Killer Kross and holds the MLW World Championship.
