Apollo Crews won the WWE Intercontinental Championship from Big E at WrestleMania 37

#3 Aleister Black could return as Apollo Crews' newest challenger

Aleister Black has been off WWE TV for a while but could make his return against Apollo Crews. Since being called up to the main roster, Black has had his moments. However, he has never reached the heights that he did on NXT.

It's not too late to once again turn Black into one of the hottest Superstars in WWE, something he already was during his time on the black and gold brand.

Over the years, the WWE Universe has witnessed Aleister Black being in a tough spot. Ironically enough, Apollo Crews himself was in a similar situation not so long ago.

During his time on Monday Night RAW, Crews struggled to find success. But fast forward to 2021, the former NXT sensation won the WWE Intercontinental Championship at The Grandest of Them All.

Apollo Crews and Aleister Black also have also shared the ring with one another in the past on RAW and with the latter teasing the debut of a new character on social media, a full feud between the two men would be interesting to watch.
