5 Superstars who could challenge Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental title

#4 Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews

The McMahon family announced last month that WWE will go in a new direction and that we would see new Superstars getting a chance. One RAW Superstar who was afforded that opportunity is Apollo Crews who won a battle royal to become the No. 1 contender for the Intercontinental title, and lost to Dean Ambrose later that night, in a match that showed what Crews is all about.

Crews is an incredible athlete who is set to get a big push from the WWE, as per Mike Johnson of PW Insider, who had this to say: “They seem to want to do something with Apollo Crews. Maybe he’s on a slow burn because he is going to be entering the Royal Rumble. I feel like there’s a lot more potential to him and I worry that they’ve kind of used him so poorly that he’s never going to recover.”

Crews and Lashley could put on a great show in the ring, showcasing their athleticism in a battle between the power of Lashley, and the quickness and agility of Crews. Crews hasn't held a title belt in NXT or the main roster, but I think it is time that he gets a shot at Lashley and the IC title.
