Apollo Crew asked to be sent back to NXT while he wasn’t being used on the main roster.
While speaking on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast, Crews explained that he wanted to return to the brand after being away for several years while on the main roster. Apollo Crews was tired of being on the low card shows like Main Event and wanted to be a household name on the main roster in WWE.
“It was weird that nothing was happening [in my career]. It got to the point where it was just like ‘man, I don’t want to be coming here and doing Main Event anymore. I want to be on the main shows. I want to be one of the guys here that’s a household name, right? I want to be one of those guys. So like, it wasn’t coming. So I made an approach and asked if there was any spot down here essentially for me at NXT and the opportunity came about and it happened. There happened to be a spot available. I was like, ‘Man, I’m 100% for it.’”

Unfortunately, Crews lost to Bron Breakker for the NXT Championship, but he had a great showing at NXT Deadline. Hopefully, he’ll get another crack at the title down the road to really shine.
