In an interview with The PWI Podcast, former WWE Champion Big E revealed why he decided to transition away from his original theme music.
Big E stated that his initial plan was to use a remix version of The New Day’s track as his theme song. Fans had come to know and love Big E's previous song, but he decided to shake things up when he became a singles star
During the interview, The Powerhouse of Positivity looked back on this shift. The WWE Superstar described how the company came to him about a year ago and told him that they wanted to create a solo theme for him.
With this looming opportunity, Big E opted to reach out to the popular rapper Wale, who is his good friend in real-life.
“They just came to me, about a year ago (...) the talk was essentially, ‘hey, we want to do a solo theme for you.’ (...) I was thinking, maybe we just remix the current theme, The New Day theme (...). The thing that I loved, (...) if it’s a new theme, whatever we are doing my first thought is Wale. Reach out to Wale,” - said Big E. (H/T- Wrestling Inc)
Big E revealed how Wale helped him with the theme music
During the same interview, Big E mentioned how thankful he is for Wale and proclaimed that he is like a brother to the former WWE Champion.
Big E went on to say that he doesn’t like having celebrity friends, but Wale is an exception.
The former WWE Champion concluded by stating that his relationship with Wale is beyond wrestling and music.
“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,” said Big E. (H/T- Wrestling Inc.)
Big E recently lost his WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar, after The Beast was added to the Fatal-Four Way title match at WWE Day 1.
At WWE's first premium live event of 2022, Lesnar was initially scheduled to challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. However, Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to withdraw from the match. WWE subsequently placed Lesnar in the WWE Championship match, and the rest is history.
