Music is essential to a wrestler's overall appeal.

Professional wrestling is a fascinating sport that entertains the viewer with men appearing out of thin air and employees rebelling against strict management. Therefore, there is something special about wrestling that every aficionado feels while witnessing this spectacle.

Whether its the sight of an unbelievable feat of athletism or offensive words dished out in a pipe bomb, wrestling is meant to evoke emotion from its spectators. Therefore, nothing evokes a stronger feeling than a Superstar's theme exploding over the PA system.

An entrance theme is exceptionally vital to a wrestlers success as it is the first thing fans use to identify each wrestler on WWE 's extensive roster. As legends such as The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin generated some of the loudest reactions in wrestling history from their theme songs alone. Hence, WWE should bring back specific classic themes.


#1 Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy at his absolute peak in the WWE.

When Jeff and Matt Hardy returned in 2017, WWE used the classic Hardy Boys theme as their entrance song. However, now that Matt has reverted to his Broken/Woken ways, and WWE has drafted Jeff to SmackDown Live as a singles star, the company needs to bring back his old theme song.

"No more words" was Jeff's theme at the pinnacle of his popularity in 2009, and now that WWE is looking to get Hardy back on that path, this theme should return.

#2 Bobby Lashley

When Bobby Lashley made his triumphant return to WWE this year, his arrival blew the roof of the building. However, no one would've known that it was Bobby Lashley coming through the curtain if his name wasn't in bold on the Titantron.

Therefore, instead of the generic theme, Lashley is currently using, WWE should replace it with his classic 2007 theme song, as that theme song was a perfect representation of Lashley's beastly dominance in the squared circle.

#3 Shelton Benjamin

For years fans have envisioned the words "ain't no stopping me now" exploding over the PA system, as any wrestling fan could immediately identify that classic phrase with Shelton Benjamin. And for once fans got what they had asked for, as "the gold standard" returned to WWE.

However, many were a bit disappointed when he had made his first entrance in years without his classic theme. But, many excused it as he was teaming with Chad Gable at that time. Now that Benjamin is a singles star again there is no reason why WWE shouldn't bring this classic theme back.

#4Drew Mcintyre

Broken Dreams is the story of McIntyre's and Ziggler's WWE careers.

From being called the chosen one by Vince McMahon to being reduced to a mid-card jobber, Drew Mcintyre's rise to the pinnacle of professional wrestling was a long hard road. Therefore, just witnessing the former NXT Champion making his return to WWE's main roster was a memorable sight to behold.

However, now that Drew is apparently a heel after his merciless attack on Titus Worldwide, his theme song should revert to his days as a young heel in the company. "Broken Dreams" is a classic theme song that can represent McIntyre and his new ally Dolph Ziggler's WWE main roster career's in a nutshell. Therefore, now that both men are taking what they want this song would correctly represent their goal.

#5 Randy Orton

The legend killer can return, only this time he's the legend.

There is nostalgia running wild on SmackDown Live at the moment, WWE has decided to craft a roster that is almost close to perfection. And at the top of the mountain is a superstar that should have the show built around him, that wrestler Randy Orton.

However, Orton is not at the top of his game as WWE hasn't been able to give him a solid narrative for years, and if wrestling aficionados remember the last time Orton was at his peak was when he was the legend killer.

WWE is missing a massive opportunity with Orton as he is at a point in his career where he can have another classic narrative build around that gimmick, as his "Viper" gimmick has become incredibly stale. Therefore, returning with his old theme, his old gimmick but with a new motive, WWE can position Orton as the number one heel in the company again.
