So tonight was the first time I've really seen that dude. That guy's awesome.
Was this a main debut, or just a feature thing from NXT?

I'm assuming it'll be permanent. He seems the type of guy WWE would love, and he wasn't really setting NXT on fire, so maybe the change will do him good.

Like I said
No promos. No pandering. Have him be Goldberg meets Sid in that he just wrecks shit every week with the difference being he is capable in the ring.
Eventually he comes out and smiles at reigns or lesnar and a star is made.
He doesn't need a character. With that look and those skills he will be over unless they sabotage it

I don't know, really.
I don't think anyone has issue with his ring work, but in the time he's been in NXT he's yet to really find himself character-wise and find something beyond plain old babyface.

Ring work is really good... but he's only ever really been smiley babyface (in NXT) and it hasn't worked very well for him.

"Flippy Lashley" was the impression I took from that match.

Last time I saw him he was having an awful match with Baron Corbin.
So many other guys that can do a better job, but they don't have that size.
Baron and Apollo need a bit more time to improve instead of getting pushes based on their sizes.

I assume he's taking the IC Belt from Miz, seems like the next step since Owens and Zayn look to be having an upper card feud on the horizon
That or Feud with Kalisto, that'd be dope.

So many more people I'd rather see debut from NXT, but I think he's more made for Raw than NXT.

I liked Lashley alright, so if he's Flippy Lashley, I'm cool with that.

He has no character, but, luckily for him, he's now on Raw instead of NXT. Most people on Raw don't have a character, he'll fit in perfectly.

I think he sells too much for his own good. He shouldn't be getting knocked off his feet repeatedly by Tyler Breeze.
And I agree he smiles too much. Dude has the potential to be an all time great though.

For his sake, I hope it was just a "feature a guy from NXT" thing. He's not remotely ready. He is as bland as watching paint dry when it comes to his 'character'.

Yeah, even though I like Crews enough, he was a prime candidate for a nice run of NXT seasoning, sitting under the learning tree of the trainers down there.
I'm not sure why there was a rush of all sudden to bring him up. With Balor and Joe already on the other side of 30, I would think there would be more of an incentive to get them up ASAP.
But if it is his destiny to stick on the main roster, I'll hope for the best.

I'll call him Apollo Snooze now so I can stake claim to it when people are mad about him getting pushed in a few months.
I like him but he's a little bland. Hope he finds his footing on the main roster. Anyone who does the "press slam/ moonsault" is okay in my book.

The dude NEEDED to stay in NXT to find himself.
No reason after the way Takeover Dallas ended that Joe didn't debut tonight.
This was Joe's moment to make a statement.
Instead Crews comes out and smiles a lot.
