5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Surprising backstage name responsible for Drew McIntyre's push, Reason behind backstage heat between AJ Styles and Paul Heyman revealed?

#3. Hope isn't true: Apollo Crews' push in jeopardy?

While there are a few names who benefited greatly from Paul Heyman's role backstage on RAW, Apollo Crews is one Superstar whose stock shot up rapidly since April. He was reportedly moved to RAW due to Paul Heyman handpicking him and he's been utilized for the first time in five years.

According to Tom Colohue, Apollo Crews is one name who could be in jeopardy following Paul Heyman's removal as the Executive Director of RAW:

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

"A lot of people who were pushed by Paul Heyman in his time in that role, are likely to suffer now... Ricochet is someone we've already seen had the rug pulled out from under him. Apollo Crews is apparently someone that Vince McMahon really isn't a fan of, and we could see this push could end sooner rather than later."

We hope this isn't true because Apollo Crews has earned the right to a sustained push. Ultimately, the big litmus test will be when crowds return and then WWE will take note of how he gets over.
