#4 Apollo Crews became the Number 1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship
Remember how the McMahons promised fresh faces and fresh opportunities to deserving contenders? Well, Shane McMahon announced what was called a 'Fresh Start' Battle Royal on this week's episode of RAW. The winner would effectively get a shot at Dean Ambrose's Intercontinental Championship, on the very same show.
The participants in the Battle Royal were the following men: Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Lucha House Party, Titus O'Neil, Tyler Breeze, B-Team, Ascension, Apollo, Mojo Rawley. They were followed by Finn Balor, No Way Jose and Baron Corbin. When Balor got eliminated from the match, the entire crowd started booing loudly.
Apollo Crews won the Battle Royal by eliminating Baron Corbin, who did not seem happy at all. He earned himself a big Intercontinental Championship opportunity. Would he become the next Intercontinental Champion?
