#2 Worst: Coming from SmackDown only to lose?

"Yes guys this is all we Needed to save this show, Apollo Crews vs Aleister black" said nobody ever. This is legitimate the worst #RawAfterMania Ever. pic.twitter.com/nKXDpZQy5M
If Apollo Crews is supposed to be a big signing, who's making a fresh new start on RAW, then he should win his first match on the Red brand. It makes no sense at all to bring him in just to lose to Aleister Black.
Yes, if it's a contest between these two men, then Aleister Black should have won because he's a person who's obviously being protected and groomed for a bigger role on RAW. But the fact of the matter is that Apollo Crews could have faced off against someone else in the roster, someone who could have afforded to take a loss and picked up a win.
I know that some of you will counter my argument by saying that he put on a good showing against Aleister Black and that's all that matters in the long run for any performer. I assure you that's a very weak argument when Goldberg is one of the top stars in pro wrestling in the year 2020, based on his winning record.
