WWE SmackDown Preview: Surprise for Roman Reigns, WrestleMania title feud set to begin? (Feb 5th, 2021)

#3 Big E enters a complicated title feud on WWE SmackDown

Big E’s Intercontinental Championship reign on WWE SmackDown has been eventful. He is currently involved in a feud with Apollo Crews, and the latter looks keen on taking the title away from the former New Day member. Additionally, he has also teased a plausible alliance with Roman Reigns, and we could see a few exciting developments in that area.

But Crews is not the only one posing a threat to Big E’s title reign. He has also been involved in several altercations with Sami Zayn. Zayn inserted himself in the title match on WWE SmackDown and expected to be involved in this rivalry going forward. Thus, we could soon see Big E defend his gold against both these Superstars.

Ideally, Big E should carry on with the title a little longer and face other opponents in his championship reign on WWE SmackDown. He could use this momentum when he is eventually pushed into the world title picture on the Blue brand. But for now, Big E has to focus on two opponents who are closely eyeing his every move.
