Apollo Crews has commented on his return to WWE Monday Night Raw.
Crews has competed on both Raw and SmackDown after being initially called up from NXT in 2016. During that initial run Apollo Crews was able to win the WWE Intercontinental and United States Championships. However, Crews returned to NXT in June of 2022 and was key roster member.
During the 2023 version of the WWE Draft, Crews was selected by WWE Raw. On last night’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw, Crews competed in the battle royal for a shot at Gunther’s WWE Intercontinental Championship.
In a WWE Raw Exclusive, Crews discuss his return to the Raw brand.
“It feels good, and I gotta say, the reaction that I got was amazing. It felt great to be out there in front of the Monday Night Raw crowd. Unfortunately, couldn’t get it done tonight in the battle royal. But that’s just a little taste. There’s a lot more to go, there’s a lot more left where that came from. Just a little taste,” Crews said.
When Byron Sexton reminded Crews of his accolades and asked him how this version of Apollo Crews will be different. The former champion stated sometimes he forgets his past success however he made it clear that intends to make the most out of every opportunity that he gets.
“It’s funny you say that because sometimes I forget. Sometimes I forget their accolades. United States Champion. Intercontinental Champion, won [it] at WrestleMania. Sometimes I forget. But every day, I need to remind myself. I need to remind myself that I deserve to be here. I need to remind myself that I deserve every single opportunity that’s presented towards me, and I’m gonna step out there and do it. What’s different? I see a lot of faces in the locker room, a lot of new faces in that locker room, but this is a different Apollo Crews as well, and everybody’s gonna get to see that when that time comes,” Crews said.
Speaking of Monday Night Raw, there were also two major names that returned last night.
