<p>Former WWE United States Champion Apollo Crews was given some career advice by Paul Heyman during the latest edition of Talking Smack.</p>



<p>Crews has been paling it up backstage on SmackDown with the current Intercontinental Champion Big E. Some might say that Crews was responsible for Big E winning the Intercontinental Championship from Sami Zayn when, as a lumberjack, Crews prevented Zayn from running away and ditching the match that Big E eventually won.</p>



<p>Crews himself referred to the incident when he asked for and was granted a match against Big E for the Intercontinental Championship on this episode of SmackDown. Crews lost but still seemed chummy with Big E afterward.</p>



<p>On Talking Smack, Heyman criticized Crews for being “happy” at having a friendly rivalry with Big E.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“You let all your dreams slip your fingers because you’re a sportsman, you’re a gentleman. You’re in there with a friend who you respect and admire,” said Heyman about the match.</p></blockquote>



<p>Heyman then went on to say this meant that Crews was letting Big E take advantage of him, take “food off his plate” and from his wife and children. He challenged Crews to take a different tact which he was confident would lead to better things.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“I know you, and you’re not a loser! You’re a winner. You’re a champion. And in my mind, you’re every bit as much the champion as Big E is,” he told Crews.</p></blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“You’re not here to make friends. You’re here to make money. You’re here to stake your claim of greatness,” he added before challenging Crews to leave the show a “wannabe challenger” and come back in a few weeks as the champion and “a man”.</p></blockquote>
