5 booking decisions for Apollo Crews on the road to SummerSlam

#2 A Number one contender’s match for the US title against Alberto Del Rio

Alberto Del Rio got in an impressive performance at Money In The Bank 2016.

After upstaging Chris Jericho at Battleground, the next step for Apollo Crews would be a #1 contender’s match for the US Title against Alberto Del Rio, with the winner facing Rusev at SummerSlam. Alberto Del Rio is a ring general and by this point, a veteran of sorts at the age of 38.

He showed what he’s capable of during the Money in the Bank ladder match and the match between Crews and Del Rio would have a nice face vs heel gimmick and could even main event an episode of Raw on the road to SummerSlam.

The match between the two would be a hard-hitting back and forth affair with Apollo coming out victorious but barely, which would put over both him and his opponent.
