Big E Reveals the Motive Behind His Shocking Victory Over Apollo Crews on WWE SmackDown

Big E survived a big title defense on the latest episode of SmackDown, pinning Apollo Crews after a thrilling battle that looked like it could go either way. 

The Intercontinental Champion made his mark by winning, but there is a lot of doubt over the actual winner of the fight. The ending of the match is disputed, to say the least. 

In a recent post on Twitter, Big E posted a tweet made by Apollo Crews on his height along with some other jokes. He added that his victory was revenge for those statements.

Big E managed to pin Crews, but in the process was also pinned. This happened when he had Crews’ shoulders down but unknowingly kept his down at the same time. 

This meant that it was a double pin. Big E celebrated the victory but the referee informed him that the spoils were to be shared. 

The victory was ultimately that of Big E’s because a double pin would mean a tie. Hence, the big man would hold on to his title as per the rule book. The entire source of events did not sit well with Apollo Crews.

Big E has been a force of nature in his solo run

The former WWE United States Champion will surely demand a rematch. Till then, he will have to stew over the fact that he was so close yet so far in winning the gold. 

Big E has been a very agile performer for his size. Combining his muscle mass with his athleticism, the big man is used to making short work of his opponents.

He showed Sami Zayn no mercy when he ripped the Intercontinental Championship out of his hands and raised it high. Big E has been having nothing but success since his split from the New Day. 

He has brute force, and never forgets a cheap shot. Apollo Crews learned it the hard way and will definitely think twice before trolling someone on Twitter.
