7 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Major mistake made with RETRIBUTION, popular star quietly turns heel following return of 6-time Champion (August 10th, 2020)

#5. Apollo Crews vs The Hurt Business continues on RAW - adding a new layer

It's odds stacked against Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews has had been a busy man in the pandemic era of the WWE - having the best run of his career following a move to RAW post-WrestleMania 36. His momentum led him to a United States Championship and he's been in the crosshairs of The Hurt Business - who he's defeated and been defeated by.

While he's set to face MVP at SummerSlam, he faced Shelton Benjamin in a non-title match on RAW and was defeated by Benjamin - a man who rarely ever wins on RAW.

Bobby Lashley was about to begin the immediate post-match attack, but MVP urged him to stop as he wanted Apollo Crews to be fit for SummerSlam and not have their match canceled like it was at Extreme Rules 2020. However, Apollo Crews still got the last laugh with an enziguri to MVP.

The story essentially seems to be that Apollo Crews has all the odds stacked against him. While we hope it results in a SummerSlam win, we can't guarantee that. We hope that Bobby Lashley steps up to face Apollo Crews eventually.
