Big E got a big entrance at WWE WrestleMania 37 for his Intercontinental Championship defense against Apollo Crews. The two men were set to compete in the first-ever Nigerian Drum Fight.

Big E and Crews got down to business right away and used kendo-sticks to beat each other down. A Spear through the ropes drove Crews to the floor.

Crews regrouped and tried to end Big E by slamming him into a set of steel steps, but E turned it around. He slammed his opponent into the steps with a Uranage. Crews was visibly injured but continued to fight throughout the match.

Late in the match, Big E delivered the Big Ending to Crews and almost pinned him before Dabba-Kato made a surprise appearance. The superstar hit Big E with a Chokeslam before making Crews cover him. Thus, Apollo Crews to win the match and the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.

Crews has done well as a heel over the past few months, and he managed to get his WrestleMania moment this year. Dabba-Kato’s interference is questionable, but the superstar could let Crews have a memorable reign.
