Nakamura’s Theme Tops iTunes

Shinsuke Nakamura’s NXT theme song has topped the iTunes Soundtrack chart.

Since joining WWE and making his in-ring debut at NXT Takeover: Dallas, Shinsuke Nakamura has taken the WWE Universe by storm with his unique style and personality. Now he’s taking over the charts as well. “Rising Sun,” the Japanese Superstar’s entrance theme, is now the No. 1 song on the iTunes soundtrack chart.
The theme tops The Weekend’s “Earned it” from the film “Fifty Shades of Grey,” as well as Eminem’s classic “Lose Yourself” from the film “8 Mile” and “Let it Go” from Disney’s animated hit “Frozen.”

Graham Shoots On Shane’s Cell Bump

WWE Hall of Famer “Superstar” Billy Graham has heavily criticized Shane McMahon for jumping off the Hell In A Cell at WrestleMania:

I give Shane McMahon zero credit for jumping off the top of that cage, landing on a table that collapsed after the Undertaker moved. Only fools put their life on the line for a stupid wrestling stunt. Risking being paralyzed or dying with a wife and children waiting for him. He has more money than he can spend. So this insane stunt was all for ego. Well, he didn’t impress me. Did he impress you folks?

One more thing. I am going on record as stating the Undertaker will not be retiring after this match. We will see him in Orlando next year. Why ? Because there was simply not a big enough build-up for his last match. Just a stupid childlike stipulation.

When Will Cody Rhodes Retire?

Cody Rhodes vowed on Twitter that he will retire at age 40:

I don't think so. When 40 comes, I drop my boots and leave it to the next generation without looking back. https://t.co/SFL0Ose123
