7. The Miz Puts Down Apollo Crews On Miz TV

The Miz has been great since capturing the WWE Intercontinental Title and welcoming Maryse back into the fold. It felt clumsy that Zack Ryder was undermined completely (once again) the night after WrestleMania, but at least it fits in with Miz's character that he'd cheat to shatter Ryder's dreams and win the strap.

Apollo Crews needs something more than simple wins over the Social Outcasts. After defeating Heath Slater last week, that story has run its course. Come Raw, he could be the main guest on Miz TV, and the arrogant heel would use that as an opportunity to run down the newcomer.

This would enable Crews to get some promo time, firing back and asking if The Miz feels threatened by him. Following a distraction by Maryse, Miz would attack from behind, leading to Cesaro making the timely save. Instantly, Apollo is given the credibility of being in there with those contesting the Intercontinental Title, and he gets to do some talking of his own into the bargain.
