Big E & Apollo Crews have had a rivalry stretching back a few months now. After beating Crews a few times, Big E told him to go back to catering and the back of the line. This prompted Crews to really change how he presents himself. He now proudly embraces his Nigerian Heritage, and will do anything to win matches. Crews has a newfound mean streak, and in tonight’s Nigerian Drum match, anything goes, and only one man will be known as champion.
Instant Hardcore Action
Big E was sung to the ring live by Wale, getting the big singles entrance at Wrestlemania that fans have been wanting for years. After breaking off from The New Day to do his own thing on Smackdown, he’s been a star and this is his biggest match yet. There were drums and gongs at ringside, but also chairs, tables and other typical weapons.
Both men left the ring to grab weapons as this match started, before whacking each other with kendo sticks. Big E hit harder, but Crews got very little retreat on the outside. Crews was getting what he wanted, as he was thrown into the barricade.
Big E would look to use the gong, but Crews stopped him. Back in the ring, Big E quickly sent Crews to the apron and hit the spear, getting a near fall. Big E set up the steel steps at ringside, but Crews hit a Death Valley Driver onto the apron, saving himself from whatever Big E had in mind.
Apollo Crews Gets Some Help From Babatunde
Crews would set up the Big E on the steps, before looking to crush him with another set, but thankfully Big E dodged. Big E got back on the apron, and tossed Crews down with a Urange onto the steps. Back in the ring, Big E set up a table, and went out to grab Crews, who fought back with a enziguri and some rapid swings of a kendo stick. Big E was set up on the table, but Crews missed the Frog Splash.
Crews was hit with the Big Ending, but Dabbo-Kato of RAW Underground fame would rush in to help Crews out. He’d drop Big E with a chokeslam, and pull Crews over him for the win! Will anyone be able to stop Crews now with his backup? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
