Sure, it may take a little while for long-time fans of Uhaa to get used to his new moniker, but this hugely-athletic talent was debuted and showcased in a great way at Takeover.

For those watching for the first time, they’ll have been instantly won over by the unique charisma, explosiveness and style of the newly-christened Crews.

Putting him up against the extremely-talented Tye Dillinger and his increasingly-popular Perfect 10 gimmick also served to only get the fans further into the match.

When all was said and done, Apollo Crews began his NXT career with a win and the WWE’s developmental system has itself a new major star-in-waiting.
