7 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Big twist in Mysterio's retirement, Kevin Owens defeated by unexpected Superstar (May 25th, 2020)

#5 Who's stepping up following Apollo Crews' US title win?

It's about time!

Apollo Crews won his first championship in WWE in five years, beating Andrade to win the United States title. He could have done it last month, but an ill-timed storyline injury saw the referee stop the earlier contest in favor of Andrade, who also had the best match of his title reign.

The two would have another solid match and as expected, Crews defeated Andrade to become the new champion. It was a fitting end to a somewhat-average United States Championship reign.

We certainly don't blame Andrade given the circumstances, but it was high time for him to drop the title and we're glad that Apollo Crews has been a direct beneficiary of this. However, this doesn't mean Andrade is stepping down the card. If anything, dropping the United States title frees him to take a step up the card, which we expect him to start doing soon.

As for Apollo Crews, we hope that this is the first of many Championships in his career.
