WATCH: 7ft Tall WWE Superstar Azeez Viciously Attacks Sami Zayn Following His Match Against Kevin Owens

This week’s SmackDown (6/11) saw a heavyweight tag team match between Big E, Kevin Owens against Sami Zayn, and the Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews, with Azeez. The latter team was severely defeated in the opening match.

Owens got the victory over the Heel team as he nailed Sami Zayn with a stunner after skillfully dodging the Helluva kick. After the match, Owens and E stood victorious in the middle of the ring, as Azeez and Sami checked up on Crews on the ringside.

Big E and Owens were leaving the ring as Apollo stopped them. He said he only lost to the duo because he was paired up with the “idiot” Sami Zayn. He then proceeded to challenge the former IC champions into a tag team match next week, but this time he would team up with Azeez.

Owens and E accepted the challenge, while Sami Zayn came up to protest against Crews’ calling him an idiot. He accused that Crews and Azeez “set him up” to lose the match and demanded an apology. The 7ft tall giant dropped a Nigerian Nail on Zayn, ending the segment.

Azeez to make his SmackDown debut next week!

Next week would be Azeez’s first match in WWE SmackDown. The former Football player had a brief appearance on WWE RAW Underground under his previous name ‘Dabba Kato.’

Azeez, whose real name is Babatunde Aiyegbusi, was a Minnesota Vikings member. He signed up with WWE Performance Centre in 2016 and debuted on NXT later that year.

He had brief appearances on NXT, Evolve before coming to RAW, and developing a winning streak on Underground. However, Braun Strowman broke the streak, hinting at a rivalry.

However, for the rest of the year, he did not appear on RAW. At WrestleMania 37, he returned as a heel named Azeez. He played a crucial part in making Crews win the IC title from Big E in the Nigerian Drum Fight.

Crews, who adapted the gimmick of a Nigerian Royalty, then introduced Azeez as his commander. The latter has helped Crews in multiple matches.

Azeez stands at 7ft, with a weight of 350 lb, making him one fo the giants in the company. The fans would look forward to seeing Azeez’s dominance in the ring next week.
