WWE SmackDown before Royal Rumble Preview: Roman Reigns destroys Kevin Owens, top Superstar becomes favourite to win at the PPV? (Jan 29th, 2021)

#4 Apollo Crews joins Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman on WWE SmackDown

Could Apollo Crews join Roman Reigns' faction this week?

One of the most interesting developments on WWE SmackDown in recent weeks is the potential alliance between Apollo Crews and Roman Reigns. The Tribal Chief once urged Crews to stay back and ‘learn a few things’ that would be helpful in his title quest. Following that, we saw Paul Heyman provoke Crews on Talking Smack.

Crews' response went viral on the Internet when he looked into Heyman’s eyes and said that he would win the Intercontinental Championship because he is more than capable of doing so. Despite his tone, Heyman seemed to have liked Crews' response, and even Reigns teased a plausible alliance with the former United States Champion.

This week on WWE SmackDown, we could see the creative add more substance to this narration. It would be interesting to see the likes of Roman Reigns and Jey Uso help Crews in his ongoing feud with Big E on WWE SmackDown. Moreover, it would lay the foundation of a possible feud between Roman Reigns and Big E in the future.
