WWE Superstar Apollo Crews has brought in a new persona with his new attitude, as he hearkened back to his “Uhaa Nation” days with a promo on Big E. Apollo defeated Shinsuke Nakamua on Friday’s SmackDown after cutting a good promo on Big E.
Crews said he has been too nice and humble for far too long and has nothing to show for it. He said that was unacceptable as a real African-American whose ancestors are of Nigerian Royalty. He talked about his Nigerian colors of green and white and how those colors stand for wealth, dominance and power. He put on a scarf with those colors just as Nakamura was coming down to ringside for their match.
Interesting enough, “Uhaa Nation” was trending on Twitter as the WWE Universe compared this promo to his character in Dragon Gate.
