4: Rich Swann is everything Apollo Crews needs to be
There’s something special about Rich Swann, something really special. He might tiny by WWE’s standards but he has ability and charisma in boatloads. He pulled off some stunning moves in his first round matchup of the CWC against Jason Lee, who was very impressive in his own right. Swann is the only ‘singles competitor’ from NXT to be taking part in the Cruiserweight Classic and he showed us exactly why he’s so highly thought of in the WWE.
Swann has the ability and charisma to take him right to the top of the WWE someday and he’s definitely a potential future WWE Champion, now that WWE’s stigma about size isn’t as important as it used to be. From his dance moves at the beginning of the match to some of the absolutely crazy moves he pulled off inside the ring, Swann is what WWE needed Apollo Crews to be on the main roster. Don’t get me wrong, Apollo Crews is a special talent too but his problems with charisma and on the mic are well documented, something that Swann has no problem with.
Rich Swann pulled off an array of jaw-dropping moves in the match from a top-rope hurricanrana to the standing 450 splash he finished the match off with, Swann just left the audience speechless.
