Having a midcard title run
Midcard titles have lost its relevance due to the lack of proper storyline. While the Women’s championship has some new-found limelight, the United States Championship and the Intercontinental Championship are suffering due to the lack of proper booking. Although winning the midcard championship at this point wouldn’t be a big deal, for someone like Apollo Crews it would be a good direction.
Considering that Kalisto is going nowhere with the championship, the United States Championship is something that he could carry around. WWE has kick-started a promising storyline with Zack Ryder and Miz for the Intercontinental championship and if it flops, they could put the IC title on Apollo instead of the US title.
