Apollo Crews wins Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania 37
The Nigerian drum fight wasn’t exactly what we thought it would be but was a simple No Holds Barred match. Both Big E and Apollo made use of weapons to put the other man down for the count.
The match began with both men wailing at each other with brutal kendo stick shots.

Big E flattened Apollo with a massive spear through the ropes and off the ring apron, and both men covered a long distance with the impact. Crews fought his way back into the match with a death valley driver on the apron and set up the steel steps below him. He tried to flatten Big E’s head by smashing him between the steel steps, but Big E dodged it.
Crews would end up digging his own grave as he would get planted on the steel steps courtesy of an uranage. The champion set up a table in the ring and went to put the challenger through it, but Crews fought back and destroyed him with shots with the kendo stick.
He then laid Big E on the table and looked to hit the frog splash but ate a mouthful of wood.
