This week's main event on SmackDown saw the Intercontinental Championship defended in a Fatal Fourway Match. Apollo Crews put his title on the line against Big E, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens, as the challengers all looked to get the title they felt they deserved.

The match was brutal where all four superstars brought their A-game, doing everything in their power to outdo each other.

They all looked like they came to win, and by the end of the match, all four men were thoroughly spent. Then Big E took advantage of a clear ring to hit Apollo Crews with the Big Ending.

Commander Azeez pulled him out of the ring before he got the pinfall, but E sent Azeez into the ring post and got back in. However, he was not about to become the champion.

Aleister Black made his way out to the ring through the smoke and hit Big E with the Black Mass while Crews held on to E's leg. Black then walked away, allowing Crews to get the win.

With a single kick, Black changed the picture of SmackDown. It was a huge impact at the perfect time. It's exciting to see how he'll get involved in WWE in the coming weeks.
