5 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Repackaged Superstar behind SmackDown 'hacker' storyline, Vince McMahon refuses to turn popular heel into babyface?

#1. Hope is true: Paul Heyman pushed to get an underutilized star on RAW

Paul Heyman

Paul Heyman has changed the direction of RAW drastically since taking over as the Executive Director nine months ago. He's had a list of Superstars that he's been pushing, including the likes of Drew McIntyre, Aleister Black, (Buddy) Murphy, Ricochet, etc.

Another name that he seems to have pushed for is Apollo Crews, who has been having the best two weeks of his WWE career. Following a narrow loss to Aleister Black, he would bounce back and defeat WWE legend MVP to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Tom Colohue spoke about Apollo Crews on Dropkick DiSKussions and said that there are a few people who wanted to see him get pushed. One of those names is Paul Heyman:

There are definitely a few people who wanted to see him pushed. Paul Heyman wanted to get a hold of him on RAW. He got him and we saw a great match with Aleister Black and he's had a match with MVP now.

We hope this is true because Heyman working on Apollo Crews would be a great way to get his career on the right track. It's no secret that he has all the tools, but he has a lot of work to do in the character department. Hopefully, Paul Heyman can help change that.
