Apollo Crews recently completed his 10 years in WWE
WWE officially announced Apollo Crews as one of the NXT recruits in April 2015. In his first televised appearance, he signed a contract in a segment featuring wrestling legend William Regal on the May 6 episode of the promotion's developmental brand.
Apollo Crews was called up to the main roster in April 2016. However, his biggest break came in August 2020 when he defeated Andrade to win the United States Championship. He also won the Intercontinental Championship the following year.
Only time will tell how much longer it takes for Apollo Crews to make his in-ring return. It will be interesting to see what plans the creative team has for the SmackDown Superstar.
