X-Men didn't beat Apocalypse. They have lost against the weakest Apocalypse he has ever appeared in comics. Then Stryfe beat that Apocalypse.
There was rarely seen Apocalypse going toe to toe. He did it against Stryfe and Stryfe was easily defeated. He went against Savage Hulk and easily restrained him and warned him, Hulk got scared and obeyed him.
Then Inhumans + X-factor with all their powers (including Black Bolt) didn't even stratch him.
It was rarely seen Apocalypse going toe to toe against someone and to be bloodlusted and to go full on his opponent.
Honestly, I think the only time I've seen Apocalypse seeking someone and going bloodlusted on him was against young Thor and Stryfe.

Who has Apocalypse ever physically beaten on Hulk's level? Let alone WWHulk?
Well, he has restrained Savage Hulk himself and he did it easily and then transformerd him into War Hulk.
War hulk>WWH

Jobbing, CIS and PIS are off.
In that case, Apocalypse would take it handily.
