Apollo Crews, the former Intercontinental and United States Champion, has been going through a tough phase in his WWE career. Despite being a talented wrestler, he has failed to secure a single win this year, with a disappointing nine-match losing streak. Recently, Crews was drafted to SmackDown after spending a year on RAW, but his fortunes have not changed.
However, the 36-year-old superstar is refusing to give up. He recently took to social media to showcase his dedication to his fitness regime, posting a mirror selfie of his impressive physique on Instagram stories. The photo highlighted his “back gains,” a testament to his relentless hard work in the gym. It’s clear that Crews is committed to revamping his wrestling career and getting back to his winning ways.
Crews’ journey to the main roster has been marked by ups and downs. After dropping his Nigerian character in mid-2022, he spent some time in NXT before being called up to the main roster.
He was initially selected by RAW but failed to make an impact, with only three televised appearances before being drafted to SmackDown in this year’s draft. A recent injury setback in August 2023 didn’t help his cause, but he’s now back in action and determined to turn his fortunes around.
One of his recent matches was on the May 8 edition of WWE Speed, where he faced Ivar in a mini-tournament to determine the No. 1 contender for Ricochet’s WWE Speed Championship. Although Crews started strong, Ivar ultimately won the match, advancing to the final. Despite this setback, Crews remains focused on rebuilding his career and getting back to the top.
As he continues to put in the hard work in the gym, fans can expect to see a revitalized Apollo Crews in the coming weeks. Will he finally break his losing streak and reclaim his spot as a top wrestler in the WWE? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Crews is not giving up, and his determination is an inspiration to wrestling fans everywhere.
