#5. Apollo Crews' momentum will roll on

This is one of the parts of RAW that left us excited and wanting to see more. Apollo Crews could be in for something big in the future. Certain Superstars do better when they have backstage support and the way Crews has been rolling in the past few weeks, it appears as though he might have been added to Paul Heyman's list of Superstars to push.

He faced WWE legend and former United States Champion MVP in a Money in the Bank qualifier and looked incredible throughout, withstanding the best of the legend and overcoming the odds before winning and qualifying for the MITB "corporate" ladder match.

Crews' first notable appearance on RAW was a few weeks ago when he narrowly lost to Aleister Black after taking the Dutch Superstar to his limit. While we don't expect him to win the ladder match, something good could come out of this. WWE is finally utilizing Apollo Crews and if he can get the character aspect right, we fully expect his momentum to continue.
