Kevin Owens has an important match lined up for tonight
This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown will feature another title match. Kevin Owens is set to challenge Apollo Crews for the Intercontinental Championship. He almost defeated Crews last week in a non-title match, but interference from Commander Azeez stopped him from pinning the reigning champion.

Later in the night, Owens demanded a title match against Crews, and WWE official Adam Pearce made the match official for this week's show. Interestingly, Azeez won’t be on Crews’ corner this time as he has been barred from ringside. This has undoubtedly increased the chances of the Intercontinental Championship changing hands on WWE SmackDown tonight.
KO last held the IC title back in 2016, and he would love to win the championship again after five years. This could also lead to an eventual title feud between him and Sami Zayn. Crews has a difficult challenge ahead of him, and it will be exciting to see how he finds his way out.
