Since Edris Enofe JUST changed *HIS* theme song, and that very theme song is also Malik Blade's *ONLY* current theme song, i'd imagine that he's going to get a new theme upon returning!

Although, I *DO* have a feeling that when Malik Blade returns & likely gets a new theme song, that "Far From a Rookie" *COULD* still be their tag team theme song! However, I honestly doubt it... one can hope, though!
