5. Winner: Apollo Crews

A bit of a tenuous one here, but Apollo Crews has seen his stock rise somewhat since being drafted to RAW last month. Crews is all potential at this point, but he must have been somewhat worried by his placement as the 45th overall pick. The former Uhaa Nation has been a little disappointing in WWE so far, but is he less valuable than The Ascension and Sin Cara?

Crews now finds himself as the #1 Contender to the Intercontinental Championship, currently held by The Miz. The two will collide at SummerSlam, and whilst it is unlikely that Crews will pull out the victory it certainly represents his first true showcase against a more than capable partner. This could be Apollo Crews' main roster coming out party.

Everyone can see that Apollo Crews has all the physical tools one needs to succeed as performer in World Wrestling Entertainment. There aren't many more athletic individuals around, and none who are quite as henched as this guy. The brand split may work wonders for him.
