I'm a wrestling fan who didn't know much about Apollo Crews before he signed with NXT, so I was interested to see what the guy can do. There are many that are already fans of Uhaa Nation, but like me, WWE has their chance at a first impression.

Crews faced off against Tye Dillinger, who's recently been talking about how he's a Perfect 10. He even styled wavy racing stripes and the number 10 into his hair so you know he's serious about it.

The strong and agile Crews got a huge reaction when he mocked Dillinger's 10 pose. The finish came about in the form of a Gorilla Press Slam into a standing moonsault. Crews won in a non-squash debut. 

This was a good win for Crews, though not dominant like I would've expected. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here.
