Apollo Crews faces Andrade for the United States title on the upcoming edition of Raw

United States Champion Andrade has a tough task ahead of him as he takes on Apollo Crews on Raw.

Crews made a quick recovery from a knee injury and called out Andrade recently. The match was granted to the high-flyer and Andrade’s title will also be on the line.

Crews has had his ups and downs in WWE, but this is a real chance for him to show he is a star for the present and the future.

Beating Andrade would be an amazing result for Crews and it seems that Akira Tozawa is confident of that happening.

The Stamina Monster shared a hilarious picture of a Crews action figure wearing the replica US Champion belt.

Tozawa claimed Crews would “kill it” and Apollo was in splits regarding the message:

Hahaha 😂 thanks man! https://t.co/RxXKmgg1UK

Crews has never won a title in his tenure with WWE but he has some history with Andrade.

Looking for revenge

Crews had met Andrade a while back ahead of Money in the Bank 2020. It was the high-flyer that picked up a knee injury against Andrade that took him out of the match.

Crews could have picked up the title as his replacement was announced via a gauntlet match. AJ Styles won that clash and took Crews’ spot at MITB, but was unable to hold the briefcase as it landed in Otis’ hands.

Andrade has been a dominant champion since winning the title, and it will be interesting to see how his faction does on Monday.

Andrade and Angel Garza kicked out Austin Theory, with the blessings of Zelina Vega. Theory could be looking for revenge too but the former NXT star found a new stable to work with.

Seth Rollins offered him a place under the Messiah, and Theory accepted by first beating Aleister Black and then embracing the Messiah.
