WWE SummerSlam 2020: 10 Things That Must Happen

9. Apollo Crews Trumps MVP

Meanwhile, Apollo Crews has never been more relevant, and his simmering feud with MVP's 'Hurt Business' has been a highlight of Raw's summer. Together, the pair are doing exactly what their feud should - they're elevating Crews to another level and showing he can do more than just flips and smiles.

There's no need to upend Apollo here.

As you'll see, this writer doesn't want a lot of pure babyface victories at SummerSlam, so it'd make sense to book a strong one on the undercard. It's even more logical when taking into account the fact that both Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin are "banned from ringside" for this United States Title shootout.

If Crews loses the belt on Sunday, he'll slink back to no man's land again. That cannot be allowed to happen, not when he's finally showing signs of life and could be a breakout star long term. It's not like MVP needs a pay-per-view win anyway.
