More on Nigerian Drum Fight Match for Night 2 of WrestleMania 37

The card for Night 2 of WWE’s WrestleMania 37 event on April 11th in Tampa, Florida features a Nigerian Drum Fight for the Intercontinental Championship.

Fightful Select reported that WWE officials had not made any decisions on the format for their scheduled Nigerian Drum Fight going into their set of television tapings for SmackDown last week. It was reported that WWE’s Creative team was mostly kept in the dark about the nature of this match until late into this week.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE officials eventually made the decision for this match to basically be a No Disqualification match but with a stronger emphasis on striking and kicking so that it would sound like loud drums beating.

It’s crazy, this many years later I’m still part of the crew. I’m still having so much fun representing my generation but now watching this new generation and trying to pass on and instill a little bit of some of what we did back in the day but just being a part of it man, I get such a rush out of doing this job. You know, hopefully I’ll be doing it for a long time.”
