10 Roster Moves WWE Must Make After WrestleMania 35

10. Apollo Crews (Raw To SmackDown)

Stars like Apollo Crews.

What is Crews doing on Raw aside from adding talking head soundbites to legends like Kurt Angle? His story with Titus O'Neil has fizzled out, and the former NXT standout is finding the going tough on WWE's main roster. He's already been on SmackDown and done nothing of note, granted, but it's time to try again.

Tuesday night's delights have evolved in-ring since the last time Apollo was part of the gang. There's much more of a wrestling-centric focus to SmackDown in 2019, and there's every reason to suggest Crews would flourish alongside guys like AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe. It's certainly worth a shot.

If this shift to SmackDown doesn't work, then the next logical step would be a WWE departure or step back towards NXT. Apollo was comfortable there, the hardcore audience who religiously adore that product accepted him and he could show off his indy stylings freely.
