WWE Career
With his Olympian stature and agility, Apollo Crews combines the brute strength of The Ultimate Warrior with the maneuverability of a top cruiserweight, confusing opponents with his ground game and dizzying aerial attack.
He was already a notorious five-timer when he moved from the independent scene to WWE NXT, and his stunning record in Full Sail sent the Georgia native to the WWE main roster within a year of his debut.
Almost immediately after his move to Monday Night Raw at the 2017 Superstar Shake-Up, Titus O’Neal courted him, eager to sign the budding young prodigy to Titus Worldwide.
He soon accepted the offer to become the first Superstar to join the brand, a move that paid dividends for Apollo, who scored several impressive wins in Team Red and even the Raw main event in a daring showdown against Braun Strowman.
Even though he didn’t have the guts to fight the giant, Apollo looked like a Superstar, born for the bright lights of the main event.
Although Apollo moved to SmackDown for a while, he soon returned Monday night as a result of a draft that was about to end.
As his star only continued to grow and he became a SmackDown superstar again after the 2020 WWE Draft, the WWE Universe will surely soon realize what the rest of the world already knew: the potential of this crew knows no bounds, and it’s only a matter of time before he rests on Mount Olympus of sports and entertainment.
