Many assumed the name was a reference to Rocky character Apollo Creed, as well as celebrity Terry Crews. Crews is of that belief as well it seems, as he tweeted Nation about the name change.

"Love the new name! Represent it well," Crews said on Twitter Thursday.

Crews also had a brief pro wrestling tie in when he was a cast member of BattleDome. The show worked a short-lived cross promotional deal with WCW, where Crews appeared. You can see video of that above. You can also see Crews' tweet to the former Uhaa Nation below.
