#6. Apollo Crews vs The Hurt Business and a heel turn tease on RAW

Rising RAW star Apollo Crews had another tussle with The Hurt Business. While he had to face the 3-on-1 numbers game at first, Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, and Ricochet came in for the rescue and it would set-up a six-man tag team match.

What was interesting was the backstage segment where Apollo Crews said that they would have a six-man elimination tag team match involving himself, Mustafa Ali, and Ricochet against the three men in The Hurt Business.

Cedric Alexander was quite perplexed as to why he wasn't chosen for the match - seemingly offended. MVP confronted him about it backstage on RAW and provoked him, telling him that his offer to join The Hurt Business was still on the table. He told him to "enjoy catering" before leaving.

The six-man tag team match on RAW saw Ricochet and Mustafa Ali eliminated first, with Apollo Crews eliminating Shelton Benjamin and MVP before Bobby Lashley finished the worn-down United States Champion. Cedric Alexander stole Shelton Benjamin's 24/7 title by pinning him after his elimination, but Shelton Benjamin regained it for the second time that night after Alexander defeated Akira Tozawa.

A bizarre turn of events, but a heel turn for Cedric Alexander could be coming.
