During a recent interview with Metro UK’s Alistair McGeorge, WWE NXT Superstar Apollo Crews discussed footballer Cristiano Ronaldo potentially trying to work in WWE, praising his mentality.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
Apollo Crews on how Ronaldo would do in WWE: “Honestly, with that mentality to be a top athlete in the world on that level, I think just on the mentality alone he would’ve done okay. When you start the physical part, that’s a different story though, for most people. But again, [he’s] a world-class athlete so I wouldn’t put it past him.”
Apollo Crews on if CR7 can revive his career: “It’s crazy, it’s not the way you wanna see a player, ’cause he’s 37, 38? I’ll say with confidence, I don’t think there’s gonna be any reviving of the career. He’s not gonna go to Saudi Arabia for two years and all of a sudden have a reviving of the career to come back. It’s tough to see that, the way it’s going. One of the things you don’t wanna see with such a player of high calibre. But it is what it is.”
Speaking of reviving careers, Crews seems to be amidst a similar process himself. He made his return to NXT earlier this year. A few weeks ago, he even challenged Bron Breakker for the NXT Championship at NXT DEADL1NE, unfortunately falling short.
