IIRC, Crews was made champ the day of the George Floyd murder and subsequent outrage. Not that it matters too much. I'm just pointing out the black wrestlers/fans discussing it. And it's besides the point anyway that there's a noted history of people being Paul Heyman guys and then Vince letting them be pushed for less than a month before being completely forgotten and ignored. That's my point. And Heyman was weeks away from being removed as head producer on RAW as well. They don't give a shit about his opinion, let alone enough to let him be the reason anyone gets fired.

This is literally like all the times people said "Oh, Vince loved me and wanted me to stay, but Johnny Ace/Jim Ross/Paul Heyman..." Vince has a history of passing the blame on people being fired onto literally anyone else, when it's always his choice. He can say "Oh, Heyman wanted them fired" all he wants, but nobody so much as farts in WWE without his say so. Vince wanted Anderson and Gallows fired, so he fired them. It doesn't matter what reason--if he wanted them to stay employed, they would be employed still. Heyman didn't trick anyone, and it doesn't matter if he pushed for it for some bizarre reason.

And please note that they were fired after they were convinced to stay with WWE in the first place because they were told their jobs would be secure. And that they were released when WWE made their record breaking financial quarter. During a pandemic.
