There has been plans of changing his theme song as well. WWE is currently rotating the talents on the roster and will be used as ‘backburner for now.’
WrestlingNews.co reported:
“We are told that the change of theme music is still in the cards and he is not getting buried. We were told that WWE is simply rotating talent so some people will be moved to the backburner for now. This is essentially what happened with wrestlers like Angel Garza, Nikki Cross, and Humberto Carrillo. After being on the sidelines for months.”
