Follow Us
During WWE Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews’ Nigerian Medal of Honor ceremony, Big E decided to give the champion a piece of his mind. He announced the ceremony to honor commander Azeez was nothing but a scam!
On SmackDown this week (05/14/21), the former IC Champion appeared via satellite and ridiculed Crews and Azeez. E name-dropped Grammy-winning artist Macklemore as he started insulting the two men inside the ring.
“This is the biggest sham of a ceremony since Macklemore won Best Rap Album of the Year,” E referred to the 2014 Grammy ceremony. “You Apollo, Don’t get too comfortable with my Intercontinental Championship. Because you Apollo, you still got to feel my power.”

For the context of E’s reference, Ryan Lewis and Macklemore won four Grammy Awards at the 2014 ceremony, including Best New Artist, Best Rap Album (The Heist), Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance (“Thrift Shop”). As we mentioned earlier, Big E was referring to this particular ceremony.

Sami, too, joined in on the action. He missed a Helluva Kick on Owens.
Following that, Owens dropped Sami with a Stunner. Big E got up and dropped Owens with a Big Ending. Before he could catch Crews, Azeez pulled the latter to safety.
Following the altercation, Apollo and Azeez went to WWE Officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville. While Pearce comprehended who should get the next match against Crews next week, Deville suggested a better way.
