This is not a slight at MVP, who I think has been doing some of the best work of his career as a manager on RAW during his current run. I just think that having your Champion suffer a pin on RAW is a really big mistake. And this is Apollo Crews, a man who had been sidelined for most of his run, who has finally picked up a semblance of momentum since coming to RAW, who needed to be booked in a very strong manner.

Yes, MVP needed a big win to be taken seriously as a competitor in the future and yes, he even picked up the win this week on RAW by nefarious means, as he should have but there's just something wrong with the whole situation, in my opinion, at least. Tom Colohue from Sportskeeda, my eminent colleague sums it up best in his Tweet.

MVP got a win on #WWERaw in 2020.Credit to him, he has been killing it since he came back but we do have to wonder what this might mean for Crews' long term push. #WWE
And I wouldn't be surprised if Bobby Lashley picks up an easy win over Crews when the two men meet next.
