WWE SmackDown: 1 superstar who flopped and 4 who impressed – Big blunder with The Usos, Roman Reigns to feud with 15-time champion next? (June 4th, 2021)
Another title match on this week’s WWE SmackDown saw Apollo Crews successfully defend his Intercontinental Championship against Kevin Owens. Unfortunately, KO went into this match with a huge disadvantage. Although Commander Azeez was barred from the ringside for this title match, that didn’t stop him from brutally attacking Owens backstage.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Crews took full advantage of the situation and continued to assault Owens’ already bruised midsection. The champion looked strong in the match, and the challenger also deserves credit for the incredible storytelling. Despite the fact that Crews had an early and unfair advantage, he fought impressively to capitalize on the same and defended his gold on WWE SmackDown.
Once KO lost the match, he was left struggling inside the squared circle rolling in pain. This prompted Sami Zayn to walk out and deliver a Helluva Kick to his friend turned foe. He even reminded Owens that this is how it feels when someone kicks their friend when they are already down. Both superstars might engage in a feud on WWE SmackDown going forward. As for Crews, he will be looking for new challenges on the Blue brand.
