#6. Apollo Crews stands tall on RAW, but is Payback the end of his title run?

The feud on RAW has finally led to the right match. Apollo Crews and Bobby Lashley are finally set to have a pay-per-view match for the United States Championship at Payback. We've been wondering why they didn't go that direction earlier, but perhaps MVP wanted to put over Apollo Crews as much as possible.

It's no secret that Apollo Crews has been having the best run of his career so far. Despite no crowds on RAW, Apollo Crews has found a way to make it work and his promos (his biggest weakness) have improved considerably as well.
