The Hurt Business has been on a roll in recent times, but MVP wanted to address his loss to Apollo Crews from last week's episode of WWE RAW.

It was funny how despite being surrounded by two strong athletes, MVP chose to opt for the "whining heel" route to explain his loss. He blamed flickering lights and an "unsafe working environment" for not having the U.S. Title belt strapped around his waist.

After Apollo Crews interrupted the trio, Shelton Benjamin took on WWE's United States Champion in singles competition.

Although Benjamin deserves a push in his own right, it doesn't look good that Crews lost to a WWE Superstar who wasn't even booked on the show several weeks ago.

On top of that, Bobby Lashley is in a different league than all the other Superstars who are currently fighting to become the U.S. Champion. He could have easily injured Crews for good this week until MVP chose to show mercy for his SummerSlam opponent.

Apollo Crews managed to get a small comeback against MVP, but the current U.S. titleholder definitely looks weak heading into WWE's Biggest Party of the Summer.
