The New York Post is reporting that the stubbornness of Karrion Kross is becoming undeniable, and recent merchandise sales and a huge spike in popularity suggests they're right. Kross has grabbed the attention of the WWE Universe like few others over the past several weeks and his efforts to make the most of the limited television time he gets are getting noticed. Fans are rallying behind the WWE Superstar and his value is skyrocketing.

Recent reports suggest that his “String Them Up” T-Shirt is currently the #1 BEST-SELLING apparel on the WWE Shop. He's surpassed huge names like Randy Orton and John Cena in recent weeks and that's a massive indicator for WWE that whatever Kross is doing has caught fire. It wouldn't be surprising if the company tried to ride the wave of his popularity and he's on television more frequently, with rumors the company might even be looking at The Righteous to join him in a stable.
He recently responded, "Thank you for the love," and added, "I know what you want to see in me, and I'm trying to work to a place where I can do that for you. I'm always trying to find the best chronogram between what they want and what you want." He said everything he does on television is for the fans and he's trying to give them what they want.
His documentary is currently on 322k after 4 days and there was an online push for him to be Orton's opponent at WrestleMania -- a gig that ultimately went to Joe Hendry.
Kross has seemingly become WWE's new underdog "it" performer. When fans organically attach themselves to a cause, the sky is the limit for what a talent with his charisma and skill set can do. He's one of the best business promos, understands the assignment, and is a genius in getting himself over on social media, blurring the lines between creative and real life. The WWE Universe is buying in, and WWE might too if they see Kross as an ATM machine.
Triple H has a pretty good read on the pulse of the fans. If he sees that Kross is catching fire, expect big plans for him in the next few weeks and months.
