Edge points out that USA Network was debuting a new show after Smackdown Live last week and they probably asked WWE for a favour here. By having the Title change hands they guaranteed a good audience leading into USA Network’s new show. Edge says WWE has booked big moments like this on their programming in the past as a favour to the Network, to ensure a good lead-in to the following show.
Edge goes on to say that A.J. Styles is an incredible athlete and he’s amazed at the things Styles can do athletically at his age. He also credits The Singh Brothers for the role they played in Jinder Mahal’s Title run. Styles versus Brock Lesnar is somewhat of a dream match, and Edge is happy that it’s taking place on one of WWE’s big 4 PPVs.
A listener calls into the show and asks Edge why he stopped using his Rob Zombie theme music. He says that WWE only had the license to use the Rob Zombie theme for a short period of time, and that’s why you don’t hear it now on old PPVs on the WWE Network. WWE has had to replace it with either Edge’s Alter Bridge theme or his original WWE theme.
Christian thought the Ric Flair 30 for 30 documentary was quite compelling. Edge points out that maybe Flair’s recent health scare has put his life into focus as well, and he assumes Flair’s priorities have changed since the documentary’s filming. Christian says it’s incredible how the wrestlers lived during Flair’s prime, and Edge was really happy to see that the Flair/Steamboat feud got some attention during the film.
