Vince McMahon is a man of many tastes. He likes AC/DC, John Cena’s rap album, and the Rolling Stones. An eclectic mix, no doubt. This makes it all the more entertaining to hear that he was vibing to the New Day’s music the first time he heard it.
Big E recently spoke with the Hollywood Raw Podcast where he told the story of Vince McMahon dancing to their entrance music. Here is the quote, courtesy of Fightful:
“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.
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,”
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods continue to use their New Day music on Raw while Big E uses a new song by Wale on SmackDown.
