Apollo Crews spoke with Byron Saxton backstage after his return to the WWE main roster on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
During the discussion, the former NXT title contender and former United States & Intercontinental Champion spoke about how he is excited to be back on the WWE main roster after his latest run in NXT.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On his return to the main roster after a short stint in NXT: “It feels good, and I gotta say, the reaction that I got was amazing. It felt great to be out there in front of the Monday Night Raw crowd. Unfortunately, couldn’t get it done tonight in the battle royal. But that’s just a little taste. There’s a lot more to go, there’s a lot more left where that came from. Just a little taste.”
On how he plans to improve his already impressive resume on the WWE main roster: “It’s funny you say that because sometimes I forget. Sometimes I forget their accolades. United States Champion. Intercontinental Champion, won [it] at WrestleMania. Sometimes I forget. But every day, I need to remind myself. I need to remind myself that I deserve to be here. I need to remind myself that I deserve every single opportunity that’s presented towards me, and I’m gonna step out there and do it. What’s different? I see a lot of faces in the locker room, a lot of new faces in that locker room, but this is a different Apollo Crews as well, and everybody’s gonna get to see that when that time comes.”
