One of the biggest segments on last week’s WWE SmackDown saw Apollo Crews join Roman Reigns in his locker room. It seemed like Crews had approached The Tribal Chief to gain some knowledge and also get in his good books.

Later in the night, Crews defeated Sami Zayn and then got in the face of the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Big E. The two Superstars will collide on the upcoming episode of SmackDown with the Intercontinental Championship on the line.

Sparks flew the last time these two men met in the ring, and after their first match finished in a draw, Big E easily defeated Crews in a rematch right after. This week on SmackDown, WWE must allow Crews to have a better showing against Big E during their match.

WWE must also tease an alliance between Crews and Reigns by allowing Jey Uso to appear and try to help Crews win the match. Even if Big E is allowed to retain the title, the angle will help fuel the fire for a future rivalry between the former member of The New Day and The Tribal Chief.
