AEW commentator Jim Ross has revealed that Christian Cage helped create Steve Austin’s famous ‘WHAT?’ chant during his time in WWE.
Ross spoke about Christian’s influence within AEW as a whole, and believes he has been of particular help to both Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy.
Speaking on the Grilling JR. podcast, he said:
“He’s a real good member of the team because he adds a lot of experience and he’s normally willing to share it with the young guys. I think Christian has probably been a big help for Jungle boy and Luchasaurus. That’s who they’re married to right now. He’s still working, he’s still having a good time and he’s still contributing.”
He went on to explain how Christian Cage played a pivotal role in the creation of the ‘WHAT?’ chant.
“That was derived from Christian calling Steve [Austin] on his cellphone while he was driving and Steve would screw with Christian and say ‘what?’ like the signals were breaking up. That’s where the ‘what?’ came into play.”
