Brock Lesnar stole the show on WWE SmackDown this week

#4 Hit on WWE SmackDown: Big E and Kofi Kingston

This week's first match on WWE SmackDown saw Big E and Kofi Kingston face Lethal Lovers, aka Los Lotharios, in an action-packed in-ring encounter. Both tag teams did well in taking turns to dominate their match. Last time, Big E took the pin, and he wanted his revenge against Angel and Humberto.

Big E and Kingston were at their best inside the ring, putting their best antics on display. The duo dominated their opponents throughout most of the bout, but also faced multiple challenges from Humberto and Angel.

Los Lotharios deserve credit for their creative offenses, especially at ringside. Big E then retaliated by threatening to run over his vehicle over Humberto, which distracted Angel long enough for Kofi Kingston to capitalize.

The particular spot allowed Kingston and Big E to shift the moment entirely in their favor on WWE SmackDown. They eventually used Midnight Hour to seal their victory against Los Lotharios on the show. But that was not all for the recently reunited New Day members.

A backstage segment showed Kingston and Big E cross paths with Sheamus and Ridge Holland. The Celtic Warrior tried to assert his superiority over the former WWE Champions, but Kofi Kingston and Big E rode away after insulting the Irish superstar in front of his protégé.

It was surprising to see Holland back on Sheamus' side, especially considering that the latter had pushed his "friend" inside the ring last week. But it appears that they have made up and are now gearing up for a tag team feud with Big E and Kingston on WWE SmackDown.
