Follow Us
This week’s SmackDown (6/11) saw a heavyweight tag team match between the duo of Big E, and Kevin Owens against Sami Zayn, and the Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews, with Azeez. The latter team was severely defeated in the opening match.
Owens got the victory over the Heel team as he nailed Sami Zayn with a stunner after skillfully dodging the Helluva kick. After the match, Owens and E stood victorious in the middle of the ring, as Azeez and Sami checked up on Crews at ringside.
Big E and Owens were leaving the ring when Apollo stopped them. He said he only lost to the duo because he was paired up with the “idiot” Sami Zayn. He then proceeded to challenge the former IC champions to a tag team match next week, but this time he would team up with Azeez.
