Lets first talk about how Wale accompanied Big E to the ring. This should make it abundantly clear how the WWE views him; Top star in the making.

This is surely just the beginning of what he will do in the singles division. Now lets us talk about the match.

Dabba Kato interferes to help Apollo Crews beat Big E for the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania 37

Despite being a gimmick match, there was no overcomplicated concept. The rules were simple, do whatever it takes to hurt your opponent and that’s what both men tried all through the match. The match began with both of them striking each other with kendo sticks. A spear through the ropes sent Crews to the floor.

A moment like that would be the highlight of any other match but the most brutal moment was still to come. The Champion caught Crews in a Urange on to the Steel steps outside the ring.

Crews found his back into the match with a barrage of Kendo sticks. He looked to finish the match with a splash after laying Big E on the table but the champion moved out at the last second sending Crews through the table. Big E delivered the Big Ending but just when he thought, he had the win in the bag, Dabba Kato interfered. He took Big E out for Crews and helped to an Intercontinental win.

This was a very good physical match. The only and very minor issue with this is the commentary pretending they didn’t know who Dabba Kato was, otherwise it was a fun hardcore encounter adding a little variety to the night.
