Predicting 10 Next WWE NXT Call-Ups To Main Roster
10. Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews could be the next great WWE babyface, and possibly become the future face of the company. If nothing else, the man is a hell of a lot more likable than Roman Reigns. Hes crazy athletic, has a passion for the business, and has a nice smile! He also doesnt act like a condescending butthole. Whats not to love? Some wrestlers you can call up anytime to fill a role, like a Tyler Breeze or Kalisto. But Apollo should be protected until the company is ready to go with him in a big way, like Kevin Owens. It wouldnt do any good to insert him into the Intercontinental Title range, and have him trade wins and losses back and forth like the majority of the roster. He needs to be built up, and plow through opponents. It doesnt seem like his call-up is imminent, as he hasnt won the NXT Title yet, and recently lost cleanly to Baron Corbin. Apollo only made his in-ring televised debut in August, so theyll probably keep him in developmental for a while longer. However, due to his sheer talent, it seems likely that hell join the main roster sometime in 2016. There is something special with Apollo, and you can only hope that WWE doesnt screw it up. Sadly, that's kind of asking a lot for them.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
