Apollo Crews' switch of brands was treated almost as an afterthought by WWE, relegated to a passing mention by the announce team during another match. He's certainly been one of the most poorly-booked NXT call-ups, leaving him as the blandest of lower-midcard babyfaces with no discernible character (beyond smiling a lot).

Although it may seem a risky move, throwing Crews into a feud with a menacing heel such as Samoa Joe would really help bring out a more serious side, and hopefully get the crowd behind him once again. His wrestling has never been in doubt; he's just never had much of a chance to showcase his ability.

Joe would probably have to win the feud, but a valiant effort from Crews would surely boost his standing in the eyes of the fans (if managed carefully).
