During a recent appearance on the PWI Podcast, Big E. commented on his longtime friendship with rapper Wale, his original idea for his new WWE theme song, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the initial plan for his solo theme song: “So eventually they just came to me, this was about a year ago, and the talk was essentially like, ‘hey, we want to do a solo theme for you.’ Initially, I was thinking, maybe we just remix the current theme, The New Day theme that people are familiar with. So it still has connections to that. The thing that I loved, in my mind if it’s a new theme, whatever we are doing my first thought is Wale. Reach out to Wale, can Wale do it, is he free?”
On his friendship with Wale: “I am so thankful for this brother because he has supported me in ways even beyond wrestling. I’m not into having celebrity friends for the sake of celebrity. We have such genuine conversations, he’s such a hilarious dude. Beyond music and wrestling. That’s my friend, that’s my brother and it’s dope to be able to go on this ride with him.”
