During this week's WWE SmackDown, Big E and Apollo Crews took part in an interview from two different backstage locations.

The WWE Intercontinental Champion made it clear that there was no room for reconciliation between him and Crews anymore. Meanwhile, Crews demanded respect and touched further upon his Nigerian heritage. Clearly, there won't be any kumbaya between these two men anytime soon.

At one point, Big E had enough and did not wait until their match at WWE Fastlane. He hopped on a golf cart to search for the Nigerian star. Crews also searched for his rival, and both of them eventually got involved in a wild brawl.

While Crews and Big E were being separated, the former grabbed the opportunity to flee the scene on the golf cart. The entire sequence was shot perfectly, which added a gritty and cinematic tone to their last confrontation before Fastlane.

Their upcoming match should capture the same intensity as well. Who do you think will walk out of WWE Fastlane as the Intercontinental Champion?
