Bryan is one of the few WWE Superstars who have a lot of clout in WWE’s creative process. It is unknown to what extent Bryan is involved in the weekly storylines on SmackDown, but he does have a significant influence, as per reports.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Daniel Bryan has denied claims of being responsible for Apollo Crews’ recent push. However, he did admit that he lobbied to put Cesaro over in WWE.
What’s next for Apollo Crews?
For the most part, Apollo Crews was never able to break out as a superstar in WWE. Despite being a former United States Champion, Crews had gone back to being an enhancement talent on SmackDown.
However, Apollo Crews’ onscreen persona has now been re-invented after he decided to embrace his roots. Behaving like an arrogant and entitled heel, Crews finally found the persona he had been looking for to get himself over with the fans.
The Nigerian superstar hopes to win the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 37 by defeating his long-time friend turned foe, Big E.
