There's always a lot made of the fact that Apollo Crews was called up to the main roster a lot sooner than he should have. The fact of the matter is that he's not found any measure of success in the main roster when he should have been a big breakout star.

He reminded us last week in his match against Andrade why he is one of the best workers in the company. And yet, in a roster that is as stacked as SmackDown Live, Crews has just been unable to carve a niche for himself and shine bright.

He will go up against Kushida, a man who took on Drew Gulak from 205 Live recently in what was a very thrilling affair. It remains to be seen if Crews' aerial assault complements Kushida's submission style.

I'm sure Full Sail will love to see Crews return.
