Is Apollo going back to his original in-ring name?
It appears as if Apollo Crews has his in-ring surname back, as his current WWE.com profile is now listing him as “Apollo Crews”.
When WWE dropped Apollo’s last name, rumors claimed that Vince McMahon did so to keep away from the name Cruz following the Parkland, FL high school shootings. WWE never denied that was the reason, but the company claimed they never released any communication citing the reason for the name change. WWE reportedly did not want the information going public.
It remains to be seen if Apollo will be addressed by his full name on WWE TV, but we’ll find out in the upcoming weeks.
