Apollo Crews has had an up and down WWE career so far, but his passion has been recently reignited.
Crews who started off in NXT, had a lackluster run on the main roster. Although he would hold the US and Intercontinental Championships, other than that Crews’ run on the main roster was largely forgettable.
Earlier this year Crews returned to NXT to a loud reception from the NXT faithful. In an interview with Denise Salcedo, Crews shared his thoughts on his move back to NXT.
“I was very excited because up to that point I really wasn’t doing much. I had come to RAW and did the show Main Event which airs on Hulu and I was just kinda like ‘I wanna do more.’ But it didn’t seem like anything was gonna happen. I became complacent, but I was like ‘I wanna contribute more.’ The idea came up about going back to NXT and I was ready to take it on, head on. I felt like it was an opportunity for me, a fresh start, a new beginning kind of, which not a lot of people get that opportunity in life in general so it’s nice to be able to come down and have that fresh start and do something different and actually be involved on a regular basis. It’s very nice, it’s a nice change of pace, almost like a breath of fresh air,”
