#3 Multiple challengers emerge for the Intercontinental Championship on SmackDown

Big E and Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn is enjoying quite a run with the Intercontinental Championship. He won the title for the second time against Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles at WWE Clash of Champions in an insane, brutal ladder match. He has wrestled fun singles matches with the likes of Daniel Bryan, Hardy, Apollo Crews, and in SmackDown's latest episode, Big E.

His scheming skills have helped him come up victorious in creative ways that usually leave the fans feeling entertained. He applied a similar strategy this week when he picked up a countout victory against the former Intercontinental Champion. But his days with the gold seem to be numbered.

With as many as three superstars ( Bryan, Crews, and Big E) losing to him by screwy finishes, all of three them could be gunning to get another shot at his title. While it remains to be seen whether Zayn defends the title at WWE TLC, this mid-card storyline at SmackDown has been quite fun to watch. Every week, it lets predict what will happen next.
