It’s been roughly a month since Wheel of Fortune’s WWE Week and Evan is talking to the champion contestant Grant Salzano. Grant won over $50,000 in cash and WWE-themed prizes over two shows in addition to the grand prize of tickets to Wrestlemania, Smackdown, the Hall of Fame and a Front-Row VIP experience for Monday Night Raw. Evan and Grant relive the key moments in his Wheel journey and how everything fell into place. Plus, he talks about being paired with Natalya Neidhart and how he designed a premium, customized title belt from the experience. All that and some pilot talk as Grant is making the most of his new license to fly. And as always, this episode has a license to be awkward.

Check out Grant Salzano on Twitter at twitter.com/salzano14.

In honor of Grant’s run on Wheel of Fortune, order a WWE Title belt on Amazon.
