Apollo Crews is getting quite a push on RAW

Remember how the McMahons promised fresh faces and fresh opportunities to deserving contenders? Well, Shane McMahon announced what was called a 'Fresh Start' Battle Royal on this week's episode of RAW. The winner would effectively get a shot at Dean Ambrose's Intercontinental Championship, on the very same show.

The participants in the Battle Royal were the following men: Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Lucha House Party, Titus O'Neil, Tyler Breeze, B-Team, Ascension, Apollo, Mojo Rawley. They were followed by Finn Balor, No Way Jose and Baron Corbin. When Balor got eliminated from the match, the entire crowd started booing loudly.
