Apollo Crews vs. Dolph Ziggler

SmackDown Live has been hinting towards a feud involving Dolph Ziggler and Apollo Crews since Ziggler’s heel turn a number of weeks ago. Ziggler has been taking on Kalisto in the mean time in order to set this up. After weeks of coming to the aid of his friend, Kalisto, it is time for Crews to take on the Show Off. A feud with Ziggler is exactly what Crews needs at the current time to get his career on the move on SmackDown Live. Since the brand split, Crews has not been involved in any meaningful rivalries. He has been more of a filler.

Crews is a main event, in-ring talent, however, he still needs to improve on his mic work to reach super stardom in WWE. I could see Crews winning this match-up this week due to a distraction from Kalisto, whom Ziggler has taken his frustration on lately. A more likely scenario is that Ziggler will win and continue his recent win streak and Crews will call him out in subsequent weeks or perhaps even at Elimination Chamber on Sunday. With these two in-ring talents, it should make for quite the feud over the next few weeks.
