5 booking decisions for Apollo Crews on the road to SummerSlam

#3 Jericho vs Crews at WWE Battleground: The veteran taking on the newcomer

Defeating a veteran like Chris Jericho could get Apollo Crews some street cred.

Apollo Crews needs a big match at WWE Battleground. Although Crews is amazing in the ring, his promo ability is certainly not anywhere near up to scratch yet. Crews needs to face someone with star power, in ring ability and phenomenal mic skills, and who better than the Ayotollah of Rock-n-Rollah, Chris Jericho.

At this point, Jericho is a grizzled veteran who’s there to put over younger stars, and Apollo Crews needs to be put over strong. Jericho can lead Crews to a good match that will help highlight Crews’ strengths rather than his weaknesses and his mic skills would bring the match some genuine heat.

Who knows, maybe some of Jericho’s mic skills might rub off on Apollo too.
