6 WWE Superstars that could be new disciples of Seth Rollins on SmackDown

#2 Apollo Crews could become Seth Rollins' disciple on WWE SmackDown

Apollo Crews needs a direction after changing shows.

For the majority of his run in WWE, Apollo Crews has primarily been a smiling babyface. He's brought it in feuds with Andrade and The Hurt Business, but now that he's no longer the United States Champion, he needs a direction. Moving to SmackDown also means that he's getting another fresh start this year.

Rollins is going to need allies because WWE is continuing his feud with the Mysterios and now Murphy. Crews has been passable on the mic but wouldn't need to speak much if he allies with Rollins. Crews and Murphy would also have great matches because they have similar styles and moves.

For the majority of his WWE, the former US Champ has shown that he is electric between the ropes. He's just needed the backing of management to maintain sustained pushes. He did enjoy a brief run while US Champ but went right back to losing his matches to help build up The Hurt Business.

Now that he's away from The Hurt Business, he, like all of the stars new to Fridays, need a purpose or angle on SmackDown. It would be a big change for him, but we haven't seen what a heel Crews could do in WWE. Aligning with the former Monday Night Messiah could help him regain his success from earlier this year.
