Tag Team Weekly Roundup and Power Rankings: Can a WWE champ be on a jobber team? By Will Hardy on Feb 27, 2021, 8:25pm EST 5
A Raw tag team holds the biggest prize on the brand. But even with Miz holding the WWE Championship, and showing off his acting chops well, it s hard to escape that he and John Morrison have been booked like jobbers for the better part of a year.
In fact, it s even more striking when you contrast the duo with the faction who pose the biggest threat to Miz s gold. Bobby Lashley, the CEO of the Hurt Business, has enjoyed near-bulletproof booking. Sure, he dropped the U.S. title at Elimination Chamber, but he dominated the match and didn t take the pin.
Big E s first Intercontinental title defense is set for next Friday s episode of SmackDown.
On tonight s New Year s Day edition of SmackDown, it was announced that Big E will defend his Intercontinental title against Apollo Crews next Friday (January 8). The two teamed together on SmackDown tonight and defeated Baron Corbin & Sami Zayn.
Big E and Corbin at first faced off in a non-title singles match on tonight s SmackDown. Zayn was on commentary for the match and interfered to cause a disqualification after Big E hit the Big Ending on Corbin and was about to get the win. Corbin s Knights of the Lone Wolf (Wesley Blake & Steve Cutler) and Zayn attacked Big E after the match, leading to Crews making the save and Big E & Crews vs. Corbin & Zayn being made.
