Kevin Owens addressed his IC title match on SmackDown

Kevin Owens said that he was happy for the opportunity to face Apollo Crews and said he'd love to leave SmackDown as the new Intercontinental Champion. He was interrupted by Big E.

E accused Owens of jumping the line and taking his opportunity. KO sort of agreed.

He told Big E that this was his night and his opportunity, and said he would claim the title as well. Both men then stared at each other for a few seconds and there was definitely an underlying sense of hostility between them.
