Nick Aldis reveals how Triple H made dream WWE entrance a reality
The nerves of walking into his first WWE match at SummerSlam was not the only thing keeping Nick Aldis hyped.
Aldis talked about the preparation that went into his SummerSlam match against Gunther with Sam Roberts on WWE Now. The full interview featured Aldis discussing his conversation with Triple H on his entrance theme, and the influence of the song ‘Morning Glory’ by British rock band, Oasis.
“‘Morning Glory’ was like, I would always listen to that song, and I would always visualize this would be a killer entrance song. I’m talking about when I was a kid, when I was, and I was kind of walking out, and then like, right as that beat kicks in, and you just, and then as you sort of progress in the business and you start to sort of figure out how things work, I sort of put it to the back of my mind ‘That’s not likely, that’s not gonna happen.’”
“And then Hunter texted me a couple weeks ago and said ‘Perfect world, if you could have any music, we could license any music for you, any song, nothing is off the table.’ And I kind of went through my sort of mental, I went ‘f*cking Morning Glory.’ So I just, and he had mentioned something about maybe something British, a British band. Something like that. I suddenly went ‘Ah, Morning Glory.’ And I was like ‘Wow, I thought it won’t happen, but I’ve got to ask.’ I’ve got to at least (ask Hunter).”
Despite the loss at SummerSlam, Aldis received a standing ovation from fans in the arena. His wife and former WWE Women’s Champion, Mickie James was ringside with their son, Donovan for his bout. Following the PLE, Aldis reclaimed his SmackDown General Manager position.
