Fans believe that WWE has not exploited Apollo Crews' potential to the maximum. He has had a miserable booking on the main roster thus far. It will be interesting to see when the Stamford-based company brings him back to TV. For a man of his caliber, a successful run on the main roster is long due.
Apollo Crews revealed how former WWE Superstar Edge helped him
Adam 'Edge' Copeland is known for assisting other superstars. Apollo Crews recalled when The Rated R Superstar helped him with his promo skills while recovering from injury.
Speaking on the Out of Character Podcast, Apollo revealed how he used to send promos to the Hall of Famer, and he would critique the former's performance and help him improve.
"So we'd be on FaceTime like once a week, and he [Edge] was literally critiquing and giving me advice. I'd send him like, promo after promo. I mean, like up to like eight to 10 promos a day and he'd watch each and every one of them and be like, 'Okay, I like what you did in the first one. Why don't you do what you did in the third one here, this part, you should try that in this first one right here, but don't do this.’ He was literally breaking and watching each one and breaking them down and breaking them down," said Apollo Crews.
