Former multi-time WWE Champion Apollo Crews has finally done it!
A part of WWE since 2014, Apollo Crews is often regarded as one of the most talented in-ring performers of all-time. Known for both his work as a high-flyer and a powerhouse, Crews is also a former United States and Intercontinental Champion. Now, he has added another impressive milestone to his vast list of achievements.
Via an Instagram post on Friday, Crews announced his college graduation news. The former champion wrote:
“It took 37 years, but we got it done! It’s never too late to do anything! Today, it is official! College graduate with honors!—-–I originally attended Auburn University, but left before finishing to chase my dream of becoming a Wrestler. I’m glad I decided to go back and finish what I started all those years ago.”
Apollo Crews has now finally graduated from college with honors. Originally a part of Auburn University, Crews had to drop out due to his wrestling career, but now, after years of absence, he has finally done it.
We at ITR Wrestling wish our heartiest congratulations to Apollo Crews!
Last seen defeating Giovanni Vinci on the 1st January episode of SmackDown, Crews has been absent from in-ring action since then. However, his recent graduation news now justifies his absence. He was also recovering from a torn pec and had recently shared an update.
Apollo Crews Had Once Opened Up On His WWE Main Roster Mistakes
“The last 5-6 years, when you look back people ask me would I have stayed in NXT and it’s not something that I can be like whatever, no I wouldn’t because I don’t know what would’ve happened if I stayed. Would I have even got the opportunity to even come to the main roster? Would I have been fired? I don’t know. It’s not anything that I really want to dwell upon.
Do I wish I would have done more in NXT? Of course, I would’ve loved to have held the title.
A lot of the guys I was with were getting called up, a lot of people I would have loved to have matches with of course. I can’t sit here and dwell on the fact that my time was short there. I had fun while I was there and who’s going to pass up an opportunity when Triple H comes to you and says ‘Hey man, you are debuting on Monday Night RAW tomorrow.’
In reality, if you’re in my position, would you have been like ‘No, I want to stay in NXT.’ Not that there’s anything bad with staying in NXT at all, but here’s this opportunity like this is the dream. It’s what you worked so hard for.”
