Apollo Crews has aligned with Titus O'Neil in 2017

Let’s be honest, Apollo Crews has had a rough time of it on the main roster. His call-up from NXT in April 2016 appeared to come far too early in his time with the company and he’s been unable to live up to the high expectations that many had for him on SmackDown Live and Raw.

Remember when Vince McMahon was a guest on Steve Austin’s WWE Network podcast and he claimed Cesaro didn’t connect with fans and that’s why he wasn’t being given as much TV time as he perhaps deserved? Well, let’s revisit those quotes.

“He's not connecting yet and we hope he will. He doesn't quite have the charisma. He doesn't quite have the verbal skills as well. But those are the big things that he's lacking… He's an extraordinary physical talent, extraordinary. But at the moment, and hopefully, he'll get it, he lacks 'it'.”

There’s no doubt that the Titus Worldwide member is a talented in-ring performer – probably one of the best on Raw – but everything Vince said about Cesaro rings true about Apollo. Maybe a return to NXT, just like “The Swiss Cyborg” did in 2013, could be just what he needs.
