6 WWE Superstars who desperately need to change their entrance music

Entrance music is an essential part of WWE. Back in the Golden Era, entrance music wasn't as common and even in the 1992 Royal Rumble match (in our opinion, the greatest ever), you would notice an absence in entrance music.

When watching the evolution of programming over the years, the addition of entrance music for every Superstar in every event made a big difference. The Attitude Era is the perfect example of it. Can you imagine 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin receiving the reactions that he did without the glass shattering and his music playing?

Even when you think of the all-time greats in WWE history, you associate them with their theme song and it's undeniably played a large part in helping them reach the iconic status that they did.

With Jim Johnston long gone from WWE, the entire production system of music has changed. While there have been some solid entrance themes through the years, it appears as though the format has gotten slightly generic.

Whether any current theme song will reach an 'iconic' status or not, only time will tell. However, there are quite a few Superstars who need a major change in entrance music and after Jeff Hardy confirmed that he's returning with "No More Words" in 2020, here are six other Superstars who desperately need a change in their entrance music:


#6. Rob Gronkowski

WWE Latest news reveals that newest major signing is former NFL star Rob Gronkowski. He's been associated with WWE for a while, with his real-life friendship with Mojo Rawley seeing him appear on multiple occasions - including involvement at WrestleMania 33.

He came out recently on SmackDown on March 20th to the most generic theme song ever, which we consider to be the worst in WWE right now. It sounds like an early 2000s party song and doesn't seem to have any place.

Either way, we expect him to get a proper theme song soon should he get a bigger role on-screen.

#5. Humberto Carrillo

We wonder why a Superstar like Humberto Carrillo never spent more time in NXT. Even when he debuted on the main roster last year, it seemed clear that he had quite a way to go in WWE. Granted, he's not even 25 yet, so he still has a long way to go.

However, it has to be one of those cases where he learns quickly on the job. We understand the argument that not everybody needs to come to RAW or SmackDown as a 'finished product' (as was seen in many cases over the last few years), but in Humberto Carrillo's case, it's hard to imagine him getting a major push anytime soon.

For starters, his entrance music seems far too generic. He doesn't have much of a character and that's going to be his biggest detriment in the long run. While he isn't on Andrade's level in terms of in-ring work, that won't matter too much if he has a strong character.

In this case, we would argue that he desperately needs a change in theme song and character.

#4. Lana

While we hear Lana coming out to Bobby Lashley's entrance music nowadays, we imagine that their alliance is one that isn't going to last that long. After all, it's being rumored that Bobby Lashley and Lana teasing dissent has been on purpose - intending to build Bobby Lashley as a serious competitor and opponent to Brock Lesnar.

All we can say is that we hope that's true because that's the level and stage that a performer like Lashley should be in - not a romance angle that wasted months without a payoff. Either way, Lana is going to have to be on her own again and that's something she may not mind.

However, she isn't on a high level in terms of her in-ring ability and to her credit, she's been the first to admit that herself. However, her theme song doesn't suit her if she wants to go in a more serious direction as well.

Perhaps one could argue that she's best staying at a lower level in the Women's division, but there's a lot more that can be done with her.

#3. Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali is yet to hold any Championship gold in WWE. He's a Superstar that we haven't seen in a while, but one that never fails to excite fans watching at home and in the live arena. His in-ring style is flashy and exciting to watch while he has a very strong base for a babyface character.

He's been vocal about wanting to break the mold and be different and he certainly has the potential to do that. Many have pegged him as a possible future main eventer if things go right. Luckily, time is on Ali's side and as long as he stays healthy, we expect him to win a lot of titles in WWE.

According to wwe news and rumors perhaps his return to the ring could also be marked with a change in his theme song. He doesn't have a particularly unique theme song and perhaps he could sit and help create one that would suit his personality more - one that he could use throughout his career.

Either way, we hope that the best of Ali is yet to come.

#2. Dana Brooke

Dana Brooke is a Superstar who has come a lot further since her debut than many people would like to admit. She has been on the main roster for close to four years now, but her potential has never been realized minus her first run.

Either way, she's a Superstar who puts everything she has into it and doesn't always get the opportunities that she deserves. She's shown on a few occasions that she can get over given the chance.

Like a few others on this list, she's going to need a character change. For starters, it would help to put her in a storyline that has actual character progression and a reason for fans to get behind her. For that, WWE needs to get behind her and give her a push as well.

However, if that still doesn't happen, a change in theme song would help. Not that her current one doesn't suit her, but it's been a while since she's had that.

#1. Sami Zayn

We'll admit that this is a decision we would be reluctant about. As a babyface, Sami Zayn had the perfect theme song - with some saying that it's the best babyface theme song. However, a year and a half into his run on the main roster, he turned heel and it's been over two years since he reverted - granted, he had a long injury spell as well.

But since it's been a while that he turned heel, perhaps his theme song doesn't suit him right now. He plays an obnoxious heel character who manages Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro and if the direction going forward is for him to remain a heel, then a change of theme song is a necessity.

However, should the direction see Nakamura and Cesaro turning on him, then it would make sense to keep the song. Either way, we don't see Zayn turning face just yet and perhaps the timing is key when pulling the trigger. Until then, he'll need a big change.
