The Royal Rumble match usually illustrates how the right theme song could make or break a star in pro wrestling.
For the last three years, fans couldn’t recognize the entrance music of several notable superstars during the iconic event. This topic has been a part of the ongoing discussion surrounding new themes.
WWE prioritizes presentation more than any other wrestling company. The company’s high production value has always separated it from the rest of the pack in a crowded industry.
So, it’s surprising that the billion-dollar juggernaut hasn’t updated its music department in response to prevalent criticism of many theme songs made by Def Rebel. The New York-based producer took on the hefty task of creating the roster’s entrance music after CFO$ left their position as executive producers in 2020.
To be fair, it would’ve been hard for anyone to replace the duo of John Paul Alicastro and Michael Conrad Lauri because CFO$ became wildly popular due to their work on NXT. However, Def Rebel curated some of the most generic and forgettable themes in the following years.
Yes, the current executive producer has created gems like Iyo Sky’s “Tokyo Shock,” Roman Reigns’s much-needed upgrade in “Head of the Table,” and Seth Rollins’ “The Vision.” Still, fans haven’t exactly responded well to some of his other output, to say the least.
In fact, reactions to his music became the topic of online discourse and several YouTube videos. According to a recent report, viewers aren’t the only ones unhappy with some of his creations.
Apparently, many superstars never interacted with Def Rebel or had any input on their music. Fightful Select reported, “that several have expressed unhappiness with the quality of theme songs and have made attempts to get their previous themes back.”
Accordingly, these five stars need new entrance music as soon as possible. Feel free to list your picks in the comments section.
