#3. Apollo Crews moves forward

In a solid but quick kickoff show match, Apollo Crews defeated Andrade to retain the WWE United States Championship. He also happened to beat Andrade to win the title, but thanks to the chaos outside, Crews managed to retain.

His alliance with Kevin Owens has paid dividends as it was the former Universal Champion who prevented Angel Garza from interfering and costing Apollo Crews. If anything, he helped the Champion retain.

With that, it seems as though the Apollo Crews-Andrade feud is officially over. While this may not necessarily mean the end of his involvement with Zelina Vega and her faction on WWE RAW, it appears that Andrade won't be getting another crack at the title.

We'll be interested to see how it all ends up playing out. Kevin Owens seems like a logical next opponent for him, but we wouldn't be surprised to see Angel Garza have a crack at the WWE United States Championship as well.

We feel that Apollo Crews could benefit in a big way from his alliance with Kevin Owens.
