WWE Money In The Bank 2016: 5 Near-Guarantees & 5 Possible Surprises
8. Near-Guarantee: Apollo Crews Properly Introduces Himself
What WWE clearly wants this match to represent is the old era against the new. The old era, lamented by members of the WWE Universe, has quickly been replaced with fresh matchups and an influx of new performers. In this case, Apollo Crews.
It was somewhat of a surprise when Crews was promoted from NXT so early given he had hardly been given time to establish himself. With very little exposure on Raw and SmackDown since his debut the night after WrestleMania, this is Apollo's chance to make a proper introduction.
The only upside to Sheamus winning this match would be to promote that terrible-looking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Surely holding a rising talent down for a movie plug is beneath WWE?
The match itself lacks excitement mainly because of WWE's inability to develop Crews' character since being called up. Nevertheless, a victory during a huge event fresh out the gates can only benefit him in the long run.
