5. Sami Zayn (c) vs. Big E – Intercontinental Championship Match
The rivalry between Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn and Big E started when Big E crushed Zayn’s hand while shaking it in a backstage segment on SmackDown. It continued in a non-title encounter between Zayn and Big E, which ended with Zayn winning via count-out.
Big E then crashed the Sami Awards and somehow won the Sami for Superstar Of The Year, which is why this rivalry is going to continue in the coming weeks.
Big E pinned Zayn in an 8 man tag team match on the TLC 2020 Kickoff Show. The two will now collide for the Intercontinental Championship on this week’s SmackDown, but a Title change there is unlikely, so expect a messy finish for the match.
The feud will most likely continue afterwards, with the final Zayn vs. Big E encounter coming at the Royal Rumble.
