10 Songs WWE Should Use

Music is an important detail that can make or break a WWE Superstar. The right song can capture the feeling of a performer, storyline or event. I still get goosebumps whenever I hear “My Way” by Limp Bizkit, as it was the perfect soundtrack to The Rock vs. Stone Cold at WrestleMania X-7. More recently, Samoa Joe’s theme song gets me riled up for whatever destruction he’s about to cause.

Here are 10 songs that WWE should use for their current Superstars and events.

“Walk Away from the Sun” by Seether

Seether has performed the theme songs for various WWE pay-per-views in the past, so this would be a natural fit for WrestleMania 36. As WrestleMania transitions from day to night, legends are cemented and young careers are launched. With the right editing, the final highlight video that closes the show would be one of the greatest ever.

“Running” by Onlap

Pick any NXT TakeOver event that tickles your fancy – this jam fits the rock anthem style that has been consistent with the brand.

“Scars” by Ghosts of August

For reasons previously listed, this would fit the NXT brand. But it could have also been used to hype up any Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns match. The promo video could have documented each encounter, highlighting the scars that have been left on each warrior.

“Sweet Dreams” by Marilyn Manson

There are a few options for how this eerie song could be used. Perhaps the entrance theme for Aleister Black, The Fiend or any other brooding, heavily tattooed superstar. If the Tommaso Ciampa-Johnny Gargano rivalry reaches the main roster, this would be a great soundtrack.

“Let’s Get Lost” by G-Eazy, Devon Baldwin

This song captures the feeling of WrestleMania. As a fan, you want to get lost in the pageantry, the excitement, the spectacle. With Mania coming to Raymond James Stadium, WWE could throw this track over the Tampa landscape. Whether it’s a world title match or the Undertaker’s finale, you get lost in the drama for just a few hours, surrounded by 80,000 fellow fans.

“You Want It” by The Fallen State

Money in the Bank is a night that offers the most to a WWE Superstar. It’s even more advantageous than winning the Royal Rumble because you have the opportunity to challenge for the world title at your choosing. It’s high risk, high reward and everybody in WWE wants it.

“Never Forget You” by Lupe Fiasco, John Legend

Whenever Matt or Jeff Hardy announce their official retirement, one would imagine that WWE officials would get the heads up and make a tribute video for one of the most celebrated WWE Superstars ever. Hell, this song could also be used for a WWE Hall of Fame induction of the Hardy Boyz, showing them growing up in North Carolina wrestling in their backyard, to debuting as teenagers during the New Generation to becoming pivotal figures of the Attitude Era and beyond.

“Something for You” by Highway Saints

“It’s been fun, but I gotta run.” There are no lyrics more suited for the Tommaso Ciampa-Johnny Gargano rivalry, telling the story from their tag team stint to their break up to their epic showdowns. Whenever the blow off to this rivalry occurs, this has to be the song that plays during the promo and sets the tone for what’s about to take place. Hopefully, they’ll both be running off to the main roster.

“Hypnotized” by Biggie

Any pay-per-view in Brooklyn.

“Voodoo Child” by Jimi Hendrix

When Velveteen Dream is called up to the main roster, this has to be his song. It would be icing on the cake of his captivating character. During the first couple guitar notes, he should saunter through purple smoke. As the guitar riffs hit, he makes way down the aisle as the crowd loses their minds.

Plus, it’s the perfect follow up to his Hulk Hogan tribute, brother.
