WWE fans were reasonably upset when Big E didn't turn out to be SmackDown's final pick for the men's Survivor Series team. Big E's 'push' has been a topic of conversation for several weeks, even though WWE had nothing substantial planned for him on the Blue brand.

That may have changed this week, as Big E encountered Sami Zayn in a pretty entertaining backstage segment. Big E mocked Zayn's ten-count victory over Daniel Bryan that occurred prior to their backstage interaction.

As for Zayn's match with Bryan, both men fought in a good back-and-forth encounter. Zayn outsmarted Bryan outside the ring. The YES Man was ambushed by Jey Uso backstage, which allowed the Intercontinental Champion to get back in the ring before getting counted out.

Sami Zayn's entire schtick as WWE Intercontinental Champion is that of a squeaky heel who is more capable philosophically than he is in an actual match without any shenanigans. Big E is the perfect opponent for Zayn as a result. This feud is also necessary for Big E to move up ranks on WWE SmackDown, as far as his onscreen push is concerned.
