Why did they even call up Apollo Crews?

He was in a weird position where creative was really high on him but they never bothered to build him. He was the second person in NXT to get a double pay raise after his first contract, the first being Kevin Owens so that basically meant they felt he was main roster ready.

Of course there's also this story about him getting some backstage heat on the main roster and supposedly Vince cooled off on him afterwards.

Was a waste of time bringing him up if the only gimmick they had for him is no one even knowing his name.:francis:

Hopefully this ziggler feud will give the two of them some purpose and direction and Apollo gets a bit more edge to him. He needs to go over as well.

I don't think.that was a gimmick... I think nikkas are legit calling him Apollo Creed because that's the Only Apollo the world knows besides show time... if they wanted to name him Apollo his last name should not have a C at all.. they set him up

Yeah, Bryan called him Creed by accident, then they had the Miz make fun of it and then they did nothing with it.
