Big E has had a great time on WWE SmackDown since splitting up with The New Day. The Intercontinental Champion was scheduled to defend his title in a Triple Threat Match against Apollo Crews and Sami Zayn on this week’s SmackDown.

Crews gained the upper hand early and look to win the title from the babyface. Zayn was the smallest man in the fight, and he used his brains more than his brawn to stay in the contest.

Big E fought back and delivered a suplex to Crews, after which he took out both challengers with a big splash. A big overhead suplex flattened both his challengers and he tried to stay on top before Zayn gained some momentum.

After Crews wiped out Zayn, Big E caught him with the Big Ending to pick up the victory and retain his title on SmackDown. The match was great and allowed all three men to shine. Zayn has been a phenomenal character on SmackDown, while Crews is growing in his new heel role. Both men will likely target Big E for some time.
