Apollo Crews accepts Big E’s challenge for Intercontinental Championship

Apollo Crews accepts Big E’s challenge for Intercontinental Championship. The former U.S Champion had an amazing night on SmackDown.

For a little while it seemed that Apollo Crews was being pushed when he won the U.S Championship from Andrade last year. He was used regularly on television for a while. However, he vanished from TV after dropping the title to Bobby Lashley.

He was used in nothing segments for the rest of the year before switching brands from RAW to SmackDown in the WWE Draft. Just one day into the new year and things are already looking up for the former US Champion.

Apollo Crews accepts Big E’s challenge for Intercontinental Championship

Intercontinental Champion Big E took on Baron Corbin in a non-title match on tonight’s episode of SmackDown. Sami Zayn interfered while Crews came out for the save. Holla Holla and we had a tag team match on our hands (Playa).

Zayn had a fall out with Corbin and his knights Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler which ultimately led to Crews hitting a Blue Thunder Driver for the win, his first since switching brands all the way back in October.

Big E then issued an open challenge for his Intercontinental Championship. Filled with confidence and adrenaline, Crews accepted the challenge setting the stage for next week’s episode.
