10 NXT Superstars That Will Struggle On WWE's Main Roster

3. Apollo Crews - No Personality

Apollo Crews has been described as Bobby Lashley with the moves of Neville. He does things in the ring that man that size should be able to do. Now you've probably heard that statement about many a professional wrestler as a way to hype them up, but in the case of Apollo Crews his athletic skills are truly shocking. The thing about Apollo, though, is that he has been able to get by as an athletic freak for pretty much his entire career. He's rarely been asked to be anything more than an incredible worker and as such he hasn't really developed an actual character for himself. Like Nakamura, Crews is not strong on the microphone but unlike Nakamura he hasn't really shown an ability to express a unique character in any other way either. You can look at guys like Neville and Cesaro to see just how far WWE is willing to push athletic miracles who don't develop strong characters. It's hard to imagine the situation will be different for Crews.
