Apollo Crews is your new WWE Intercontinental Champion.
Tonight’s WrestleMania 37 Night Two show saw Crews win the title of Big E by winning a Nigerian Drum Fight. The No DQ contest featured tables, large drums and copper plates at the ring, as well as kendo sticks.
Crews won the match with the help of former Dabba-Kato, who made his debut under his new ploy. You can click here for our report earlier today on how WWE had new plans for the RAW Superstar, which is apparently now on SmackDown. Previously it was reported that his name could be “Commador Azeez” or “Azez”, but nothing has been confirmed with this writing yet.
This is Crews’ first reign with the title. Big E won it on the December 25 SmackDown show by defeating Sami Zayn in a Lumberjack Match.
Stay tuned for more information. Below are some shots from tonight’s title change at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida:
