MONDAY NIGHT RAW (8/27/18): PETE DUNNE VS. APOLLO CREWS

[Apollo Crews]

Once Pete Dunne lifted Apollo into the air, Apollo would look to grab a hold of Dunne's head and drive it into the mat. Turning his 'Bitter End' into a hurricanruna of his own!!

 

[Jonathan Moxley]

Dunne was dropped with the hurricanrana out of no where!  

[Apollo Crews]

The fans would cheer loudly seeing the sequence of counters from both men, it was obvious that they both took this match quite serious. Neither man wanted to budge an inch, Apollo refused to be the one to fold though as he would crawl over onto Dunne's body looking for the three count!  

[Jonathan Moxley]

Dunne would kick out at a late two, barely kicking out this time after the unexpected hurricanrana!  

[Apollo Crews]

Apollo was becoming exhausted, this match had taken a larger strain than he had imagined. He had definitely underestimated Dunne, Apollo would look to stand up on his feet once again. Brainstorming a gameplan while Dunne lay nearly motionless on the map.  

[Jonathan Moxley]

Dunne would be down on the mat on his stomach, barely getting up holding his back in agony. He started to get on a knee.  

[Apollo Crews]

Apollo, seeing that Dunne was on his way to his feet, would run towards the rope and attempt to use them to go for a springboard crossbody!  

[Jonathan Moxley]

Dunne would be hit with the crossbody, going down!  

[Apollo Crews]

Once Apollo pinned down Pete Dunne with the crossbody, he would get up and begin to stalk Dunne...waiting for him to reach his feet.  

[Jonathan Moxley]

Dunne was down, as he would take his time to recover. He slowly started to get up...  

[Apollo Crews]

Once Dunne got to his feet, Apollo would look to showcase his raw natural power, attempting a gorilla press drop by lifting his opponent ten feet in the air and dropping him directly on the mat.  

[Jonathan Moxley]

Dunne was lifted up in the air, and dropped to the mat, then rolling onto his back.  

[Apollo Crews]

The crowd would begin cheering loudly, knowing what was coming next. Apollo smiled before squatting and launching off the mat and attempting a moonsault, his signature finishing combination!!

 

[Jonathan Moxley]

Dunne was hit with the huge moonsault!  

[Apollo Crews]

Once the succession of moves occured, Apollo would waste no time immediately hooking Dunne's leg for the pinfall. The crowd would count along as the referee would begin slapping the mat, expecting Pete Dunne to not have enough left in him to kick out!!
