Crews, I think they got excited about and brought him up way too early. He has no character. He's strong, he smiles, he'll defend his friends, and he can do a backflip. That's it. That's all we know about him. That's not a character, it's simply a list of basic qualities that you would want any babyface to have.
Given that, he's probably the worst possible opponent for Dolph right now. Dolph has some fans who were bored of what he'd been doing the previous few years. Putting him up against Crews completely screws Dolph out of any heat. Having him beat down a guy who doesn't say or do anything to make people care about him is a recipe for disaster for both guys.
Thing is, NXT needs a face right now. Most of its top men are heels. Crews could be down there improving and developing more of a character in front of a much more supportive audience. Hopefully that was an injury angle to get him off TV, and they bring him back in NXT.
