Christian discusses Cagefighter, not being in the WWE Hall of Fame, Edge & more [Exclusive]

My favorite wrestling theme tune of all time was The Brood. I need to ask, what's your favorite entrance theme right now?

Oh, man, I've got to say that... I've only seen it once but Karrion Kross had a pretty bad**s entrance the other night on NXT. That looked pretty cool to me. Aleister Black has a pretty cool entrance I think. Yeah, I think, off the top of my head, those would probably be the two.

So you still watch the WWE product, otherwise, you couldn't really do your job on WWE Backstage, but do you watch other promotions, like AEW or IMPACT?

Yeah, of course, I'm a wrestling fan so I try to take in as much as I can. I even catch a little bit of Ring of Honor whenever I can as well. I have friends in all of those companies, so I definitely try to keep up and see what's going on and check out what my friends are doing.

Who is catching your eye outside of WWE?

Man, I like the... I like Orange Cassidy. I don't know anybody who doesn't find him entertaining. I also like Darby Allin. I like his vibe. He's very Jeff Hardy-ish, which I kind of like. You don't know what it is but there's something interesting about them.

One of the main reasons I asked that was, with the unfortunate situation that happened recently where over 20 WWE Superstars were released and with so many options out there, I'd love to know who you think is the one to watch!

With everyone that was released, obviously, it's unfortunate the situation that we're in, but these things happen and everybody in the world has been affected in some way by this. But everyone that was released is talented in their own way and were where they were for a reason.

Off the top of my head, Zack Ryder is a good friend of mine and I think he's a very forward-thinking guy, obviously what we saw years ago with the YouTube show that he did and he's always been kind of ahead of the curve in that respect, so I think he's going to be fine and I think that, actually, he will flourish with this challenge in front of him.

Off the top of my head, I think he will probably be, in my opinion, the guy. He's such a passionate guy about wrestling. He loves it. He's a die-hard fan at heart. He just loves it. He's never going to give up on his dream of that and I think he's going to flourish, I really do think is going to do some great things.
