Andrade vs Apollo Crews: 5 ways their WWE RAW match could end

#2 Apollo Crews defeats Andrade clean

Apollo Crews needs a big win over Andrade tonight

Apollo Crews possesses the in-ring talent to become the top champion of WWE. However, the inconsistent booking decisions that he has received until now has not helped his on-screen character. After staying directionless for a long time, Paul Heyman helped him become a prominent name on the roster. Hence, the backstage officials would not want to waste this opportunity of pushing him to the topmost position in the mid-card.

Had the creative team inserted him in the world title picture straight away, they would have received a negative response from the WWE Universe. But, they took the right path by giving him a proper United States Championship storyline. Apollo Crews has a ton of momentum by his side, and a delay in his coronation would not be the best call.

Why Apollo Crews needs to beat Andrade clean tonight?

It has been a long time since a singles title changed hands on an episode of RAW. Although WWE conducts pay-per-view events to give the title bouts a big match feel, if the championship changes hands on RAW tonight, it would help the Red brand gain the fans' attention.

Given that the ratings have not been up to the mark of late, it would be an excellent decision to have Apollo Crews topple all the heels and win the United States title from Andrade in a career-defining match.
