Apollo Crews got some payback.
Apollo Crews appeared on the June 25 episode of WWE NXT. He distracted Angel and Berto of Legado Del Fantasma during the Tag Team Turmoil match and caused them to be eliminated. Legado Del Fantasma has attacked Crews backstage in recent weeks, and they also eliminated him from the battle royal on the June 18 episode of WWE NXT.
In a digital exclusive, Apollo Crews was asked whether he scored some retribution with his actions.
"Retribution? Have you been watching the last few weeks? They cost me the match against Andrade, they cost me the match against Santos in Glasgow. Last week, they eliminated me from the battle royal to go on to be the number one contender for the NXT Title, and they attacked me backstage. I say this is just a tiny little bit of retribution, wouldn’t you say? I told you guys, I’m not the one to mess with. You want to keep costing me opportunities? Well trust me, I’ll make it so that you always have to look over your shoulder," Crews said.
