The conversation shifts into what JBL calls "a true new day" for Kingston and Woods, as he discusses the opportunities and challenges that come with reinvention in modern wrestling.

[upbeat music] I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out [laughs] that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like I can't stop. I'm addicted.
