Apollo Crews' first WWE heel turn was confirmed when he attacked Big E with the steel steps after beating Shinsuke Nakamura on the February 26, 2021 episode of SmackDown.

While the WWE Intercontinental Champion watched on from ringside, Apollo Crews started to violently attack Nakamura after the match. This caused Big E to make the save.

However, Crews then destroyed both the Intercontinental Champion and Shinsuke Nakamura with the steel ring steps.

Since then, Apollo Crews has seen metamorphosis on SmackDown. Embracing his Nigerian heritage, the former US Champion now has a new accent and carries himself in a much different manner, often being accompanied by personnel to the ring.

Considering that Apollo Crews initially used the steel ring steps to attack Big E, perhaps a suitable stipulation for their Intercontinental Championship bout at WrestleMania could be a Steel Stairs match.

For this one, the steel ring steps are the only legal weapon that the competitors in can use. The only previous Steel Stairs match took place at the WWE Tables, Ladders, Chairs, and Stairs pay-per-view in 2014 between The Big Show and Erick Rowan.

It would certainly be an interesting choice. However, in the context of the storyline between Apollo Crews and Big E, this match stipulation would absolutely make sense.
