Bobby Lashley will face a familiar foe in Apollo Crews, as The Hurt Business’ gold standard will look to defend the United States Championship at WWE Clash of Champions.
After the formation of The Hurt Business, Crews was a constant thorn in the side, as he held the coveted United States Title and stymied the faction’s grand plans at every turn. Then came WWE Payback, as The All Mighty overpowered Crews and forced the tapout with a devastating Full Nelson. Since that fateful night, Lashley and The Hurt Business have frustrated the challenger at every turn. Shelton Benjamin dished out a defeat in Raw Underground, and the addition of Cedric Alexander has tormented Crews in recent weeks. Crews took down Alexander in the most recent red brand showdown, but Lashley had another Hurt Lock waiting for his rival afterward.
Can Crews recapture his championship magic and regain the title? Or will Lashley and The Hurt Business crush Crews’ title hopes for good?
