Apollo Crews is a Superstar who struggled for almost half a decade in WWE. He was called up to the main roster in less than 12 months of his NXT debut, and it was clear that he wasn't ready.

He spent years in creative limbo, but 2020 proved to be a turning point, with his move to RAW seeing him improve drastically. Perhaps one of the big beneficiaries of having no crowds in WWE for 13 months, Apollo Crews has evolved. His heel turn on SmackDown culminated with a huge Intercontinental Title win over Big E at WrestleMania 37.

It's clear that WWE has plans for Apollo Crews now, and Wrestlingnews.co reported that he finally won Vince McMahon's trust with his hard work:

"We were told that Vince McMahon is really behind the new version of Crews, and the feeling is that Crews has finally found himself and he's worked hard to improve, so expect to see a lot more of him in big segments on SmackDown in the coming months. Obviously, his feud with Big E will continue."

We hope this is true because it's good to see Apollo Crews go from a WWE Superstar who "has all the tools" to one who is finally being utilized well.
