The theme songs in WWE are a key component to a WWE superstar. They set the tone and get fans' attention. Sometimes they get the fans to join in singing or humming the song.

Some theme songs stand the test of time, like Stone Cold Steve Austin's glass-shattering entrance. Or even The Rock's 'if you smell' spine-tingling entrance. If they're memorable, the WWE Universe will want the particular anthem to stick around.

That being said, here are five WWE superstar theme songs that should return.


#5 Drew McIntyre's 'Broken Dreams' WWE entrance music should return

"Out of time, so say goodbye. What is yours, now is mine. And I dream broken dreams..." you know the rest. Drew McIntyre's 'Broken Dreams' theme song left a mark on the WWE Universe. It even left a lasting impression on The Scotsman, who has been calling for its return. The former WWE Champion had the song as his theme for two years between 2010 and 2012.

There's nothing wrong with Drew's current theme, but 'Broken Dreams', lyrically, has a big part to play. It tells the story of broken dreams coming true and doing whatever it takes to make them a reality.

Drew spoke with Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes about its possible return in September 2021:

"Yeah – I say it all the time in every interview I get asked, which is almost every interview, eventually it’s going to happen. I imagine it’s going to be in a bigger event, it might be as part of a package – we did that in NXT, prior to my match with Bobby Roode when I won the NXT title, we used a part of it and people were absolutely buzzing. I see it more like as a combination like Edge did just at SummerSlam there, with the Brood into his new music. If we could use it in some capacity at the beginning, cutting into the war pipes, which is more suitable for who I am today." Drew McIntyre said (h/t Inside The Ropes)

The suggestion McIntyre made about mixing his current theme with his old theme could work a treat. Until then, we'll hold tight until we can finally sing the lyrics to 'Broken Dreams'.

#4 Keith Lee's 'Limitless' entrance theme should return

Keith Lee got called up to the main WWE roster in the summer of 2020, but there was one problem. Despite being advertised as 'limitless', his 'Limitless' NXT theme didn't follow him to the main roster. Instead, Lee was provided with a generic theme and there was no sign of being able to bask in his glory.

Sadly, Fightful reported that the theme was dropped due to WWE ending its partnership with the creators of the theme, CFO$. Whether WWE will ever want to use the theme again remains to be seen, but for the WWE Universe, it's a theme we'd love to hear again.


#3 Sheamus' 'Written in My Face' WWE entrance theme should return

"It's a shameful thing, lobster head..." Those are the lyrics, right? It was Sheamus' first entrance theme when he joined WWE. He used the theme for over five years, and it became recognizable with The Celtic Warrior.

The former WWE Champion spoke on WWE's The Bump about the potential of the theme song returning:

"I actually wanted to have my original music back. I pushed for that. I pushed for it, and I was denied. I wanted it. ‘It’s a shameful thing, lobster head…’ Or whatever it is. People make up their own. Too many limes… too many limes? I brought this to the powers that be and they basically said they don’t remember it. I was told they don’t remember this song. They said it was outdated," Sheamus said (h/t Wrestling Inc.)

We certainly hope that the powers that be remember it soon. Maybe they need to shuffle around on Spotify so they can hear it again. Either way, we hope we can hear it again someday.

#2 Alexa Bliss' 'Spiteful' WWE entrance theme should return

OK, so Alexa Bliss has been a little broken in WWE recently thanks to Bray Wyatt, but what's to say her old theme can't come back? While she was the reigning RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion, respectively, her theme song made her stand out amongst the rest.

The theme song fit her perfectly, and it got the WWE Universe hyped up. Now, reports are suggesting Bliss is due to take some time off. Let's hope she returns unbroken and ready to take over the women's division once again with 'Spiteful' blasting out the arena speakers.


#1 Seth Rollins' 'Burn It Down' WWE entrance theme should return

Now we're not talking about The Visionary incarnation of Seth Rollins' theme, but the rocking jam that used to get everyone hyped. Of course, superstars and theme songs have to evolve, but it was a theme song that everybody loved.

The theme song will always remind us of the night he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 31. Before the 'Burn it Down' part even got added, the rock anthem sent fans wild. You knew something special was going to happen in the ring every time the music hit.

Maybe one day, when the devilish Drip God has finished tormenting the roster, it may be time for the real 'Burn It Down' to come out again.
