#5 Big E kickstarts his Intercontinental Championship reign on WWE SmackDown
On the final show of WWE SmackDown last year, Big E and Sami Zayn locked horns with the latter’s Intercontinental Championship on the line. Their Lumberjack match saw the babyfaces and heels surround the ring and play their respective roles in this in-ring battle. Ultimately, Big E prevailed and ended the show with the IC title resting on his shoulders.
The fans have huge expectations from this much-awaited title reign of Big E on WWE SmackDown. This title win is the most significant opportunity that he has received ever since he started his singles run on the Blue brand. He is now expected to have a dominant run on the Blue brand that will eventually help the creative push him into the world title picture.
Overall, this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown looks promising. Although there won’t be any title changes this week, we will certainly see the new big challengers step up their game. Moreover, we will also have a better look at Superstars who will get a push ahead of this year’s Royal Rumble.
