7 NXT Vs. WWE Main Roster Matches That Simply Must Happen
7. Apollo Crews Vs. Neville
On paper, this is a fascinating match. If you had both Apollo Crews and Neville stood in front of you, with no prior knowledge of their abilities, you wouldn't dream that they would have so many in-ring similarities. Crews is no ordinary athlete, though, and the things that man can do in the ring are unbelievable. Watching the two go at it would be electric. Would Crews rely on his power alone, rather than try to keep up with the Geordie? Neville is a great babyface-in-peril, excelling at taking a beating before dragging himself back into the contest with his high octane offence and thrilling style, and Crews' physical superiority fits this bill to a tee. This is match would be from a parallel universe where the idea of Apples vs. Oranges still makes sense, but they are more alike than one realises. It would provide a great platform for the WWE Universe to familiarise themselves with Crews, whilst showcasing Neville at the same time.
