#3 Could Aleister Black kickstart a WWE Intercontinental Championship rivalry with Apollo Crews?

Apollo Crews embraced his Nigerian roots on WWE SmackDown not too long ago. Thanks to this development and Commander Azeez's presence by his side, Crews is now the Intercontinental Champion. His ongoing feud with Big E started even before WrestleMania, so it will likely end sooner rather than later.

Meanwhile, Aleister Black could make his presence felt by aiming for a significant title upon his in-ring return. Directly pitting him against the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, would be a rushed call, which is why Black vs. Crews seems to be the most likely possibility in comparison.

Apart from Crews' connection to the Intercontinental title, Black has another reason to target him on WWE SmackDown. For those who don't remember, the Dutch superstar suffered the wrath of Commander Azeez (fka Dabba-Kato) on RAW Underground last year.

While it didn't lead to a proper feud at the time, WWE may bring up the past if they wish to acknowledge that Azeez existed in the promotion before he aligned with Crews.

With or without a link to Azeez, Aleister Black and Apollo Crews could put on a great series of matches down the line.
