Poor Apollo Crews.

The now former Intercontinental Champion has had a dreary reign with the secondary strap since winning it from Big E at 'Mania 37. On SmackDown, Crews was booked to drop the thing to 'King' Nakamura, but not before giving the belt a little parting kiss.

This happened so quickly that you may well have missed it completely. Apollo smooched the title plate, then handed it off to the referee and focused on Shin. It was like he was breaking character for a second to kiss the thing goodbye.
