00:00Let's ring it.
00:02And now quickly,
00:07Kendo stick in hand for Apollo and for the Intercontinental Champion.
00:11Got ourselves a duel.
00:12Let's see what you have.
00:13Is this what you want?
00:14Is this what you want?
00:15Let's go.
00:16Let me see what you have.
00:17Let's go.
00:18And Apollo and Big E tee it off.
00:22He getting the better of this exchange.
00:27And Apollo Crews.
00:28Going to look to retreat.
00:32Oh, man.
00:35Did you hear that?
00:37And Big E again.
00:39This is what he wanted, Graves.
00:42This is what Apollo asked for.
00:44And Apollo Crews, though, taking advantage of at least momentarily.
00:48Now driven into those drums here at ringside.
00:51Already starting to look like a Who concert out here.
00:54Big E!
00:55Big E!
00:56Big E!
00:57Big E!
00:58That is in fact a gong.
00:59And that is perfectly legal.
01:00Apollo Crews did not allow Big E to use it.
01:04And now the fight to Big E and it.
01:06Kendo stick again by Crews.
01:09To the Intercontinental Champion.
01:11Kendo stick just splintering across the massive body of the Intercontinental Champion.
01:17Stand up!
01:18And Big E able to duck underneath.
01:23Momentarily standing Crews out to the apron.
01:25And now Big E!
01:26Man, the distance!
01:30Yeah!
01:35What impact by the Intercontinental Champion.
01:38Watch this.
01:39And the cover now, covered by Big E.
01:43Hook of the leg and Apollo will kick out.
01:45We saw the intensity in the Champion's eyes from the first note of his music.
01:50All the way down the ramp.
01:52Big E anxious and excited to show the world what he is capable of.
01:58The WWE Universe live and in person here at Raymond James Stadium.
02:03Willing Big E on.
02:05Big E hopes to have a more successful evening than his New Day counterparts last night.
02:13Yeah, the New Day losing to AJ Styles in that massive omas.
02:19The tag team titles.
02:23Big E looking to get creative.
02:25Looking to punish Apollo for being the thorn in his side.
02:28Now Apollo.
02:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
02:31No!
02:35The Champion's in trouble.
02:37Apollo looking to win the gold.
02:38Is it enough?
02:39And Big E at two and here fall.
02:42Apollo already feeling the effects of this battle as we look once again,
02:46this awesome 10th Valley driver on the ring apron.
02:51Yes, yes!
02:52And now Crew's taking full control.
02:54Apollo with nefarious intentions for those ring stares, no doubt about it.
03:07This is one of those rare matchups that's limited only by the imagination of its competitors.
03:17This does not look good for the Intercontinental Champion.
03:24Apollo Crew's taking advantage of the matchup he introduced here.
03:28Oh my God.
03:29Oh now with the steel steps.
03:30Don't do this.
03:31Remember what Apollo did to Big E weeks ago.
03:33This is going to be much worse.
03:34This is going to be much worse.
03:35With the steel steps.
03:36This will do the job.
03:37This will cost E his career.
03:38I'm ready to show you these skills.
03:39Yes!
03:40And Apollo trying to do it again and Big E rolled out of harm's way.
03:45Thank God.
03:46And Cory, I think you're right.
03:47That would have been much, much worse.
03:57And Apollo with a kick.
03:59And Big E just not able to get going.
04:02Stand up!
04:03Stand up!
04:04Stand up!
04:05Oh!
04:06Oh!
04:07Oh!
04:08On the stairs!
04:09A Yuranagi suplex out of the steel steps!
04:12Look at this!
04:15And listen!
04:16Oh!
04:17Sickening thud of Apollo's flesh.
04:21Crashing against the steel ring stairs.
04:24Being driven by the Intercontinental Champion.
04:27A broken arm.
04:28He could have cracked ribs.
04:29Watch this.
04:30The Yuranagi.
04:31Boom!
04:32Right out of the steps.
04:34This is what you want!
04:36You're going to get everything you asked for!
04:39There is fury in the eyes of the Intercontinental Champion, Big E tonight.
04:45You've known Big E for a long time.
04:47Never ever have you seen him in this type of move.
04:49Not once.
04:50And Big E was excited for this.
04:52Big E is excited to rid himself of the problem that has been Apollo Crews
04:57and do it in front of his hometown crowd.
05:00Crashing in the dark.
05:03Crashing in the dark.
05:04Table perfectly legal under the rules of this match.
05:09Let's see a little creativity from Big E.
05:15No countouts.
05:20No disqualifications.
05:23Apollo still stinging.
05:27I can't believe Apollo's standing after the punishment he's just endured.
05:31Yuranagi to the steel steps, and Big E looking to inflict even more punishment, but Apollo!
05:40A kick drops the champion.
05:42Right along Big E's jawline, and again with the kendo stick, just battering the champion.
05:49A vicious assault by Apollo.
05:56Apollo now positioning the champion on the table.
06:04Crew's not a superstar who's afraid of heights.
06:07Very comfortable in these high-risk situations.
06:11Oh, and a splash to the table!
06:14Nobody home!
06:15Apollo crashed and burned!
06:17And now Big E looking to take advantage!
06:20Going for the big ending!
06:21Big ending!
06:22A big ending connection!
06:23What the hell?
06:24What the hell?
06:25What the hell?
06:26Look at the size of that monster!
06:30Gotta be seven feet tall!
06:32A salty Big E who hit the big ending and Apollo, and was gonna win this match!
06:37And now a massive chokeslam!
06:40You had to expect Cruz had something up his sleeve tonight, but not this big!
06:45And now dragging Apollo Cruz onto the fall of the champion!
06:48Not like this!
06:49And Apollo's gonna win the Intercontinental title!
06:52Here is your winner, and the new Intercontinental Champion, Apollo Cruz!
07:09I respect the drive, I respect the determination and the work Apollo Cruz has put in to achieve this goal!
07:16But if this is not an attainment victory, I've never seen one!
07:19Big E hit the big ending!
07:22He was gonna retain here tonight, and then this monster came from out of nowhere and helped Apollo win the gold!
07:29Apollo Cruz looking for the fall splash through the table, which opened the door for E and the big ending!
07:37But this colossal superstar making his presence known!
07:44Nearly driving the champion through the ring with a hellacious chokeslam!
07:49And handing Apollo Cruz his first Intercontinental Championship!
07:54Patriots and Zurich Commonwealth Specialist 2
