Yet it did, being one the biggest stars ever in the company. In theory, the character of the Undertaker should never have worked, playing an undead gothic giant with supernatural powers. Playing a heel for must of his career, his cheating antics made him one of the most hated characters in the company and his theme perfectly played into his dirty-tactic character. Rock songs with an energetic and stimulating rhythm were popular throughout the era, and Edge’s theme is no different with the proclaimed ‘ultimate opportunist’ adopting the theme back in 2004. At number three is rock band Alter Bridge’s most popular song Metalingus. I think at this point we just have to admit that WWE’s best theme songs came from the ruthless aggression era. With a great trumpet intro and a tune that gets you amped up, the theme perfectly presented Cena who still remains one of WWE’s biggest stars. Having hit meme status ever since the infamous John Cena prank call went on viral on YouTube, My Time Is Now is arguably the most famous and recognisable tune in all of WWE.įirst used in 2005, Cena recorded the song himself with the theme achieving mainstream success world-wide! Cena’s album ‘ My Time Is Now‘ featured on being a big seller in multiple countries. Though the theme itself is a great song – given that Punk was literal a cult of personality with the WWE fanbase, the song tied in perfectly with his character and persona. Tapping into this Punk would use Cult of Personality as his second theme song after his short hiatus from the company in 2011. Having been a cult figure with WWE fans since his debut in 2006, Punk was never really thought of as highly by WWE higher-ups.
While an honourable mention goes out to Punk’s first theme by rock group Killswitch Engage’s This Fire Burns, his adoption of Living Colour’s Cult of Personality lands at number five on the list. While he was a much-hated figure by fans during this era, this theme song is largely loved by WWE fans. Yet another rock song from the ruthless aggression era, King of Kings once again presented Triple H as a big deal in the company during his era of dominance during the 2000s, in which he claimed to be king of kings in the WWE landscape. Triple H – The King of KingsĪn alternate theme for Triple H, Motorhead were once again brought in and produced another masterpiece. With the lyrics of the song perfectly matching with Triple H’s character as the top star of the company and a heavy hitting vibe that gets you pumped up. Performed by Motorhead, The Game is a heavy metal tune that strikes all the right chords.
Get your water bottles out because at number seven and continuing on with the ruthless aggression era is Triple H’s main theme, which he’s used since 2001. MVP coming out of a personalised inflatable tunnel accompanied with pyro and a great theme, help present MVP as a big deal despite him never being one of the top stars in the company. MVP – I’m Comingīack to the ruthless aggression era well and at number eight is MVP theme I’m Coming performed by rapper Silkk the Shocker.įrom the ticking clock intro to Silkk’s energetic flow, the song gets you amped up and was accompanied with one the best entrances in WWE at the time. Slow Chemical’s hard-hitting tune and aggressive vibe perfectly presented Kane as a dangerous monster. Standing at 7ft tall, Kane was portrayed as a giant sadistic character who’d been a burn victim from his childhood, a dark and twisted backstory for a character. Kane – Slow ChemicalĪnother theme from WWE’s ruthless aggression era, Slow Chemical performed by alternative rock band Fingers Eleven was perfectly used as Kane’s theme song between 20 after his unmasking. The lyrics of Burn In My Light truly reflect Orton’s cocky persona and was a fan-favourite theme – just a shame that Orton himself hated the tune. While fans will be more familiar with his theme Voices, Randy Orton’s second theme performed by rock group Mercy Drive still remains as his best theme.īeing dubbed as the ‘legend killer’ from 2004 to late 2007, Orton was pitted against the veterans of the WWE where he attempted to eliminate them and kill their careers one-by-one, with his persona during this era being the human embodiment of Dewy from Malcolm in the Middle’s famous line “the future is now old man.” Whether it’s been WWE collaborating with bands or its former composer Jim Johnston producing themes, the company has a great track record when it comes to giving it wrestlers incredible theme songs! So here are 1o iconic WWE entrances that just plain slapped. A wrestler’s entrance theme plays a large part in presenting the character they play. Music in wrestling has long been a winning combination, with the WWE emphasising its stars are more than just ‘wrestlers’.
