10 Wrestlers Who Will Benefit The Most From The WWE Draft 2020

10. Apollo Crews

2020 was shaping up to be the best year of the former Uhaa Nation's career, at least as far as his WWE tenure is concerned. After years of treading water, Apollo Crews finally got that breakthrough win when he defeated Andrade for the United States Championship, capturing his first WWE singles championship in the process. Sure, it happens in front of zero fans, but that was only a minor drawback. Apollo Crews had finally arrived.

The problem for Crews was that he arrived at the same time as The Hurt Business. Crews subsequently spent the next 34,845 years taking part in matches against various members of the new faction, trading wins and losses with MVP, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. He lost his title to Lashley as the losses became more frequent than the wins, and all of a sudden Crews is back in midcard purgatory.

The move to SmackDown could do wonders for Crews. Now established as a competitor worthy of title contention, Crews is now free of the violent tentacles of The Hurt Business and clear to zero in on Sami Zayn and the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
