Champion: Carmelo Hayes

Who Should Beat Him: Apollo Crews

Carmelo Hayes only won the North American Title from Cameron Grimes in June, so he definitely deserves a bit more time with the belt before losing it. When the time comes though? Yeah, let's put none other than Apollo Crews forward for the win, if only 'cause he could have some scorching matches with Hayes.

Crews' Intercontinental Title flop also depressed the living f*ck out of his supporters. Apollo put his all into Vinnie Mac's over-the-top 'Nigerian Prince' gimmick, but he wasn't rewarded with anything worthwhile after taking the IC strap from Big E at WrestleMania 37.

Another run on NXT was a solid idea, and it'd be even better if Crews managed to score some gold during it. He's somebody who has always deserved better in this company anyway. Seeing Apollo and Carmelo trade NXT's secondary prize back-and-forth sounds like a decent-enough use of both.

Make it happen, Triple H. Come through for Crews!
