The main WWE Intercontinental Championship storyline revolved around Apollo Crews and Big E not too long ago. However, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens' WrestleMania feud has now been added to the Intercontinental title picture as well.

During this week's WWE SmackDown, Apollo Crews presented the Nigerian Medal of Honor to Commander Azeez. Starting with Big E, other stars entered the fray and interrupted the ceremony.

A brawl erupted on SmackDown as Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens appeared with their own agendas. While Big E emerged dominantly from the brawl, Crews escaped at the last second.

Later in the night, Apollo Crews approached Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville to demand justice for what happened in the ring. However, Pearce announced a fatal-four-way contest between Big E, Crews, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens for next week's episode.

The WWE official only booked a multi-man match when Deville slightly mocked him about the same in front of Commander Azeez and the Intercontinental Champion. As a result of this development, Pearce warned Deville never to undermine him in front of other superstars.

Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce's tense partnership has now led to unfavorable outcomes for champions on both RAW and SmackDown. Their conflict often results in random consequences for WWE's main roster talent, which certainly adds more spontaneity to the current product.
