A few months ago WWE released over two dozen wrestlers including former Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews. The former WWE star finished up an 11 year run with the company, but he has officially moved on to the next stage of his career.
During the TNA Wrestling Slammiversary pay-per-view in Boston on Sunday, Apollo Crews debuted with the promotion under the name Uhaa Nation. He faced off against Rich Swann and Mustafa Ali in a triple threat match for the International Championship which ultimately saw Ali retain the title.
