The former New Day member Big E recently appeared as special guest on Hollywood Raw podcast and spoke about several topics. During the show, he also talked about his New Day theme music and revealed the WWE Boss Vince McMahon’s initial reaction.
The New Day faction is the one the best tag teams in the WWE history, these stable includes Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. They have total of 10 tag team reigns combining both Raw and SmackDown tag team title Reigns. After being together for six years, they got split up during WWE Draft 2020.
During the podcast, Big said that they gave them old-timey church stuff sounded like music and went to Vince McMahon to listen it. While listen to music, Vince McMahon tapping his foot, shrugging his shoulders and dancing. Here what Big E said:
“They wanted to give us entrance music and they gave us this real dusty, old-timey church stuff that sounded like it was recorded in the 1920s. I said, ‘We cannot come out to this.’ We remember Kirk Franklin because it was energetic, so that was our example. We gave them the example and we went to Vince’s office after a show to have him listen to the music. He had these big speakers and it was a bunch of writers and us. We’re all in a circle and sitting there. They put the music on and we’re all hoping he likes the music. He plays the music, it’s way too loud, and we’re all serious and trying to vibe along, but we’re looking at him to see how he’s responding.” (H/T: Fightful)
“I remember him tapping his foot, like this grimace of pleasure in a cartoonish way. I thought it was a joke and he was being funny and we were laughing, but everyone was deadly serious. He’s dancing and tapping his foot and I’m biting my lower lip because it’s hilarious, but no one else is laughing and I can tell it’s a serious moment. I’m almost bleeding, that’s how hard I’m biting my lip. His love for southern gospel and black church isn’t something you’d expect, but he really does. Seeing him going to town, tapping his foot and shrugging his shoulders while listening to our music.”
Currently, Big E is Intercontinental Champion on Smackdown brand and involved in feud with Apollo Crews. Recently, he was attacked by Crews and missed two weeks on Smackdown.
He returned on this week’s Friday Night Smackdown and called out Apollo Crews to challenge for a match with IC Title on line. Later, Crews accepted his challenge at backstage interview and WWE made it official for WWE Fastlane pay-per-view.
