WWE Backstage has the Satin Sheet!
Ryan and his sexy music are back with some big news! To make up not having anything for the show these last few weeks, Ryan returns with HUGE news! Multiple sources say the three-time Super Bowl winner and current Fox Sports analyst, ROB GRONKOWSKI is “deep in talks” with the WWE and close to finalizing a deal! The details of that deal are still top secret, but Gronk could show up as early as 3/20/20, aka Friday Night SmackDown in New Orleans! This won’t be the first time, because WrestleMania 33 saw Gronk help Mojo Rawley win the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. Gronk has talked about doing more since then, and he was most recently hanging out with Mojo, HHH and Stephanie McMahon for Super Bowl Weekend. “Let the speculation begin.”
The panel discusses the big news.
Styles wants to talk about that pic. Mojo was hyped but Gronk seemed kinda nervous. But Gronk in the WWE, what does everyone want to see out of him? We fantasy booking? Woods wants Gronk to team with the Kabuki Warriors to be their heater and body guard. He can understand Japanese but he can’t speak it. Then he runs and gets them coffee. Renee likes that. He can be Kairi’s umbrella boy. Styles says if Gronk messes up the coffee, like no sugar, they slap it out of his hand and it goes into his face.
Booker says that Gronk is a marquee name. He needs to come in, turn on Mojo, and become a big name. Sorry, Mojo. Well it IS fantasy booking. Ember says that what we need to see at some point is the return of Jinder Mahal for Mania revenge. But first, someone who was there from the very beginning: Lisa the security guard! Lisa totally did not realize it was a work and shoot tried to put him back in his seat. A Mania moment indeed! Booker likes that idea, too. Ember learned from the best.
WWE Backstage looks back to Christian talking about Stone Cold.
“Steve hasn’t been in the ring for awhile, y’know? You know he’s got that mean streak, that’s never going away, but I’d love to see him in the ring, what? I said I’d love to see him in the ring with a guy like AJ Styles.” Everyone loves that dream match! Styles has never had a bad match so why not?
Renee of course asks Styles about this in the present. With one legend in the Undertaker more than likely for Mania, when and where would Styles want to take on Stone Cold? Styles perfected the Austin impersonation, but he’d love to show him that in person. Stone Cold gave Styles a Stunner last year when it was Styles VS Rollins for the Universal Championship, so that’s a bit of motivation, too. Booker got a Stunner, too! Booker says he took the best one.
WWE Backstage talks theme songs!
Iconic ones are easy to recognized. Hulk Hogan’s Real American. The Macho Man’s Pomp and Circumstance. The Hitman’s Hart Attack. HBK’s Sexy Boy. John Cena’s The Time is Now. But who in the WWE today has the best theme song and entrance?
Mustafa Ali, Drew McIntyre and many more are very conflicted on who and what to say. Ali goes with the Usos current one, Done With That, aka Down Since Day One. Elias says Baron Corbin’s current, I Bring the Darkness, is fantastic. Braun Strowman agrees, because for being paired with such a jerk, that song rocks. The IIconics like Randy Orton’s Voices. Ember has to go with Shinsuke Nakamura’s, both forms of Shadows of a Setting Sun. Finn Balor’s Catch Your Breath, especially the Demon mixes, are Samoa Joe’s choice. Rey Mysterio also likes that, especially the fans getting into it. But Fire & Desire feel it is still The Undertaker’s Rest in Peace. The gong alone. Carmella agrees, it is gloomy and dark.
McIntyre finally makes a decision, and it is Stone Cold Steve Austin’s I Don’t Do What You Tell Me, aka Glass Shatters. The glass makes everyone get up.
The panel discusses the same subject.
Renee can’t possibly choose! Booker goes with Stone Cold, too. The glass, Stone Cold comes out, it makes Booker want to be just like him. Styles goes with Samoa Joe’s. The bass and how mean Joe looks. Ember admits she also likes Styles’ theme. “The anteater” is an inside joke they’ll explain later. We think we all know Woods’ favorite, but there is footage of him jamming out to I Walk Alone, Dave Batista’s theme! Saliva is just an awesome band. But Woods surprises us that his all-time favorite is Reverend D-Von’s. Booker’s got great music, sure, but c’mon. “Please call mah name!”
Styles wants to bring out the elephant in the room: Run DMC’s take on the Degeneration X theme, The Kings. Renee says she’s also seen Woods jam out Trish Stratus’ theme. That will be for another episode.
