Sometimes the most interesting WWE stories are events or incidents that never happened or came to be. An example can be found in Jim Johnston revealing one of his favorite WWE entrance themes never made it to television.

During his Sportskeeda interview, Johnston revealed that one of his favorite entrance themes he ever produced was for former WWE Superstar Aiden English.

Jim Johnston explained that the theme was operatic and he loved the theme so much because it was "so wonderfully arrogant":

"Interestingly, I have a real outside the box favorite that keeps, something i wrote that i just love. I love it like it was written by someone's favorite artist. I take no ownership of it, i just love to listen to it and it was for a guy that never made it. It was basically an opera thing for Aiden English. And it's really too bad because it would have been, if a combination of getting the push he needed and if he had been able to come into his character full bore. Because it was so wonderfully arrogant. 'I'm Aiden English, Superstar the greatest thing that you'll ever see!' And i just always saw him, wow, how powerful if you could get to a WrestleMania moment where he's standing over some guy who's down and they play that music, 'the greatest thing you'll ever see' you know, it kills me."

Aiden English was released by WWE in 2020 as part of budget cuts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, it is fascinating to hear that one of Jim Johnston's favorite ever themes never made it to WWE television.
