Early life

edit

Sesugh Uhaa was born on August 22, 1987, in Sacramento, California and was raised in Atlanta, Georgia and early on fell in love with professional wrestling,[6] becoming a fan of performers such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, and Kurt Angle.[9][10] He went to a military high school and began practicing various sports, including amateur wrestling, soccer, football, and track and field,[11] as both an outlet and a way to "get away from the military life".[9] While weight training in high school, he was given the nickname "Uhaa Nation", when his coach noted that he was "as strong as a single nation".[6]

Professional wrestling career

edit

Early career (2009–2011)

edit

After finishing college, Uhaa quickly got a job in order to pay for his professional wrestling training.[10] He began training at the age of 21 under Mr. Hughes at his World Wrestling Alliance 4 (WWA4) promotion's training school in Atlanta.[4][10] After making his wrestling debut under the ring name Uhaa Nation on August 17, 2009,[6] he spent over a year working mainly for small promotions on the Georgian independent circuit, but also made trips to Houston, Texas-based Pro Wrestling Alliance (PWA) and Phenix City, Alabama-based Great Championship Wrestling (GCW),[6][12] often working with fellow WWA4 trainee AR Fox.[13]

Dragon Gate and affiliates (2011–2015)

edit

On September 9, 2011, Uhaa took part in a tryout seminar held by the Dragon Gate USA promotion.[4] He was immediately signed for appearances for not only Dragon Gate USA, but also its parent promotion, Dragon Gate, and close affiliates Evolve and Full Impact Pro (FIP).[4] He made his wrestling debut for Dragon Gate USA later that same day, defeating Aaron Draven in a squash match.[14] Uhaa made his pay-per-view debut the following day at Untouchable 2011, where he answered Brodie Lee's open challenge and dominated him, before Lee left the ringside area.[15] The following day at Way of the Ronin, Uhaa defeated Facade, Flip Kendrick and Sugar Dunkerton in a four-way match.[16] On October 29, Uhaa made his first appearance for Full Impact Pro, when he defeated Jake Manning for FIP Florida Heritage Championship.[17] Uhaa then entered a storyline, where different Dragon Gate USA stables tried to recruit him to join them.[18] On November 30, Uhaa made his Japanese debut for Dragon Gate, during an event produced by the villainous Blood Warriors stable. Uhaa defeated Kotoka in a match that lasted 99 seconds, establishing himself as the newest member of Blood Warriors in the process.[19] For the rest of the tour, which lasted through December 25, Uhaa worked alongside the Blood Warriors stable, winning every one of his matches.[20][21] At the end of 2011, Dragon Gate USA named Uhaa the Best Newcomer of the year.[4] He also finished second behind Daichi Hashimoto in Wrestling Observer Newsletter's award category for Rookie of the Year.[22]

Upon his return to the United States, Uhaa made his debut for Evolve on January 14, 2012, with a win over Pinkie Sanchez.[23] When Akira Tozawa took over the leadership of Blood Warriors from Cima and renamed the group Mad Blankey, Uhaa Nation followed along to the renamed stable.[4] Uhaa made his first appearance representing Mad Blankey at a DGUSA event on March 29, when he and stablemates Akira Tozawa and BxB Hulk defeated Ronin (Chuck Taylor, Johnny Gargano and Rich Swann) and D.U.F. (Arik Cannon, Pinkie Sanchez, and Sami Callihan) in a three-way trios match.[24] However, during the match, Uhaa suffered a knee injury, which sidelined him for a year.[25] Uhaa returned to the ring on February 1, 2013, at Full Impact Pro's Everything Burns iPPV, where he successfully defended the FIP Florida Heritage Championship against Chasyn Rance.[26] On March 2, Uhaa returned to Japan and Dragon Gate, when he and BxB Hulk defeated Don Fujii and Masaaki Mochizuki for the Open the Twin Gate Championship.[27] They lost the title to Shingo Takagi and Yamato on May 5.[28] On May 11, Uhaa was pinned for the first time in a Dragon Gate ring, when he was eliminated by Jimmy Susumu in the first round of the 2013 King of Gate tournament.[29] On July 28 at Enter the Dragon 2013, Dragon Gate USA's fourth anniversary event, Uhaa suffered his first pinfall loss in the promotion, when he was defeated by Anthony Nese.[30] On August 9, Uhaa lost the FIP Florida Heritage Championship to Gran Akuma.[31] Back in Dragon Gate, Mad Blankey turned on Uhaa Nation on August 30, after he refused to wrestle Akira Tozawa, who had recently been kicked out of the group. Uhaa then formed a new partnership with Tozawa and Shingo Takagi.[32] On September 12, the three were joined by Masato Yoshino, Ricochet, and Shachihoko Boy to form a new stable,[33] which was on October 6 named Monster Express.[34] On January 12, 2014, Uhaa received his first shot at Dragon Gate USA's top title, the Open the Freedom Gate Championship, but was defeated by the defending champion, Johnny Gargano.[35] On March 6, Uhaa also received his first shot at Dragon Gate's top title, the Open the Dream Gate Championship, but was defeated by the defending champion, Monster Express stablemate Ricochet.[36] On May 23, it was reported that Uhaa had signed a new contract with Dragon Gate USA.[37]

On February 5, 2015, Uhaa made his return to Dragon Gate as Akira Tozawa's surprise partner in a tag team match, where they defeated Cyber Kong and Don Fujii.[38] On March 1, Uhaa failed to win the Open the Dream Gate Championship from BxB Hulk in his final match for Dragon Gate.[39] Uhaa worked his final Evolve events later that month during WWNLive's WrestleMania week.[10][40]

In October 2014, Uhaa took part in a WWE tryout camp, resulting in a developmental contract offer.[9][41] Starting on December 31, 2014, multiple sources reported that Uhaa had come to terms on a contract with WWE.[7][42] Uhaa reported to the WWE Performance Center, the home of its NXT developmental brand, on April 6, 2015.[43] WWE officially announced Uhaa as part of a new class of NXT recruits in an April 13 press release.[8] Uhaa made his first televised appearance on the May 6 episode of NXT, signing an NXT contract in a segment with William Regal.[44] Uhaa started working NXT house shows the following month, retaining the Uhaa Nation ring name.[45][46][47]

On August 5, it was announced that Uhaa, now working under the new ring name Apollo Crews, would be making his televised NXT in-ring debut on August 22 at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn,[48] where he defeated Tye Dillinger.[49] Crews made his NXT debut on the September 2 episode of NXT, defeating Martin Stone.[50] At NXT TakeOver: Respect on October 7,[51] Crews defeated Tyler Breeze.[52] On the October 14 episode of NXT, Crews won a battle royal to become the number one contender to the NXT Championship.[53] Crews received his title shot against Finn Bálor on the November 4 episode of NXT,[54] winning the match by disqualification, when he was attacked by Baron Corbin, who held a grudge against Crews for eliminating him from the number one contender's battle royal.[55] The rivalry between Crews and Corbin led to a match on December 16 at NXT TakeOver: London,[56] which Corbin won.[57] Crews then started a feud with Elias Samson, after Crews saved Johnny Gargano from Samson's assault on the March 23, 2016, episode of NXT.[58] On the April 6 episode of NXT, Crews defeated Samson.[59]

On the April 4, 2016 episode of Raw, Crews made his main roster debut, defeating Tyler Breeze.[60] He remained undefeated over the following weeks, defeating the likes of Curtis Axel,[61] Adam Rose,[62] Heath Slater[63] and Stardust.[64] However, on the May 23 episode of Raw, Crews lost to Chris Jericho in a Money in the Bank qualifying match, after Sheamus attacked Crews before the match.[65] Crews and Sheamus faced off on June 19 at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view,[66] where Crews was victorious.[67]

As part of the Superstar Shake-up, Crews was moved to the Raw brand.[78] Shortly thereafter, a storyline began with Titus O'Neil offering Crews his managerial services.[79] After becoming affiliated with "The Titus Brand", Crews started displaying attitude and cockiness.[80] On June 4 at Extreme Rules, Crews was defeated by Kalisto.[81] During that period, Akira Tozawa joined the Titus Brand, turning it into "Titus Worldwide".[82] Crews would then enter a short feud with Elias, losing to him on September 24 at No Mercy,[83] the following night on Raw[84] and on the October 9 episode of Raw.[85] During this time, Dana Brooke joined Titus Worldwide as their manager, and Tozawa quietly left the faction.[86]

On the January 8, 2018 and January 15 episodes of Raw, Crews and O'Neil defeated Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus in upset victories.[87][88] At Royal Rumble on January 28, Crews entered the Royal Rumble at #13 but was eliminated by Cesaro.[89] On February 19, his ring name was shortened to simply "Apollo".[2] At Elimination Chamber on February 25, Apollo and O'Neil failed to capture the titles,[90] and were again unsuccessful in a rematch the following night on Raw.[91] At WrestleMania 34 on April 8, he failed to win the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.[92] On the April 16 episode of Raw, his ring name was reverted to Apollo Crews.[93] On the September 3 episode of Raw, Dana Brooke parted ways with Titus Worldwide after mid-match coaching backfired, causing Brooke to lose her match.[94]

On the October 15 episode of Raw, Crews returned as a singles competitor when he interrupted Elias during his performance, thus disbanding Titus Worldwide.[95] The following week, he lost to Elias.[96] On the December 31 episode of Raw, Crews won a battle royal by eliminating eight wrestlers to become the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose.[97] That same night, he was defeated by Ambrose.[98] On January 27, 2019, at the Royal Rumble, Crews entered the Royal Rumble match at #20 but was eliminated by Baron Corbin.[99] On April 7, 2019, at WrestleMania 35, Crews competed in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, but was eliminated by Andrade.[100] As part of the Superstar Shake-up, Crews was drafted back to the SmackDown brand.[101] At SummerSlam on August 11, Crews lost to Buddy Murphy by disqualification after interference from Erick Rowan.[102] In August, Crews competed in the King of the Ring tournament, where was defeated by Andrade in the first round.[103]

A title defense was set up between Crews and The Hurt Business' leader MVP on July 19 at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules,[109] however, Crews was absent at the event, and MVP declared himself as the new champion.[110] In reality, Crews had tested positive for COVID-19, though in storyline, he suffered a bulging disc as a result from an attack by Bobby Lashley.[111][112] Crews returned on the August 3 episode of Raw and retained the title against MVP,[113] as well as in a rematch on August 23 at SummerSlam.[114] Seven days later at Payback on August 30, Crews lost the United States Championship to Lashley.[115] On September 27 at Clash of Champions, Crews failed to regain the title from Lashley.[116]
