Apollo Crews Defeated Big E In A Nigerian Drum Fight At WrestleMania 37 to Become New WWE Intercontinental Champion
The WWE IC Championship match was scheduled to be Big E vs. Apollo Crews for WrestleMania 37. It is a first-ever Nigerian Drum Fight. It is not anything like an amazing storyline or similar, but a simple and engaging build-up. Two hungry men both are dying to get some achievements; it could not be made better than this.
WrestleMania 37 Results – Big E vs. Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews has been pretty good since he turned heel. The Nigerian Billed wrestler was pretty talented and he showed it in his previous spell but was not being given the proper booking, or we would rather say, failing to gain any attention.
But the recent change of gimmick has earned the guy the much-needed recognition he deserved. And finally, he got a mid-card title match ‘The Grandest of them All.’ Fans had high expectations from this match and with a newly introduced stipulation, the match could not get more interesting than this.
Our fifth match on the card was the Intercontinental Championship match between the two athletes mentioned above. The Nigerian Drum Fight was just another No DQ match with different types of props surrounding the ring. The two men started the match with kendo sticks in hand. They started beating down each other with the canes and Big E came out stronger at the beginning of the match.
The match was very entertaining and fans loved every bit of it. No DQ matches at a stage like WrestleMania bound to be given good booking. And no exception here. But unfortunately, it was not given a longer booking. Only six minutes. The six foot ten inch tall wrestler Dabba-Kato made his debut during this match and helped Apollo to win the title.
The feud does not seem to be finishing right now. And we would not mind if it continues for a little longer. Apollo’s new gimmick is fun to watch and Big E is also doing his best to keep things alive. After WrestleMania 37, we would now love to see some more stipulated matches between these two individuals.
