7 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Major break-up storyline canceled, Former World Champion getting pushed after 2 years? (27th April, 2020)

#4 Apollo Crews' chase for gold to come to fruition soon?

Heartbreak for Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews is a Superstar who's been getting pushed for the last few weeks and it's well-deserved after 4 years of having done nothing on the main roster. Perhaps it's the Paul Heyman effect among other things, but he's progressing rapidly in a short time.

For years now, the word associated with Apollo Crews is "potential". But as Samoa Joe pointed out on commentary, people don't remember potential, they remember champions.

Apollo Crews started off the night teaming up with fellow Money in the Bank contestants Rey Mysterio and Aleister Black and defeated the team of Andrade, Angel Garza, and Austin Theory. It was Crews who pinned Andrade for the win, setting him up for a United States title shot later in the show.

Crews had his best match in WWE, coming close on many occasions to winning the title. He was all set to pick up the win until his knee injury (sustained during the match) proved to be too much, with the referee rightly deciding to stop the contest.

Apollo Crews was seen backstage in crutches in tears, refusing to be interviewed by Charly Caruso. We're starting to see the character-aspect of Apollo Crews and it's the right step to take. He could be removed from the Money in the Bank ladder match, but we see a possible United States title win for him soon.
