For Those About To Walk: 5 Best Entrance Songs In The WWE
A WWE superstar's entrance is one of the most important aspects of their character. A good theme [...]
5. Next Big Thing - Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar's theme has the advantage of time. It's been around for a while. The generic guitar riffs could get lost on any other star, but they've become so attached to Lesnar that when they hit, the crowd loses their mind over the thought of someone getting taken to Suplex City!
Lesnar loses some points for sort of breaking rule number one-he is only kind of a full-timer. The Beast may only show up for a little bit of the year, but he is the Universal Champion, so he counts.
prevnext4. Catch Your Breath - Finn Balor
The Demon King has such an epic entrance that of course his song is on here. It feels like a heavy metal opera. Balor has the entire song timed so perfectly with his walk-out. Whether he's Balor Club Finn or Demon King Finn, he always nails the arms stretched out thing perfectly.
Obviously, this entrance theme gets huge bonus points for the crowd's eagerness to participate in the arm stretching thing.
prevnext3. The Truth Reigns - Roman Reigns
This one bothers you, right? Yeah, I know. It's ok, though. It's kind of supposed to at this point. The song was already iconic for The Shield making it famous but the Reigns remix has taken it to a whole new level.
When Roman's song hits, the WWE Universe completely loses their minds. Some are cheering, some are booing, but no one is sitting on their hands.
The Raw after WrestleMania told me everything I'll ever need to know about how impactful Roman's walk-out is.
prevnext2. Rising Sun - Shinsuke Nakamura
Thanks to this song, Shinsuke Nakamura could never wrestle on the main roster and still be one of the most over performers in the WWE. The Rising Sun has everything you could want in an entrance theme. It's one of the few wrestling songs you wouldn't mind hearing pop up on your spotify page. The sweet hip hop beat, dramatic pause, organic crowd sing a long (even though there are no words) and most importantly–ability to add live instruments to big event entrances–make Nakamura's song almost the best thing in wrestling right now.
prevnext1. Glorious - Bobby Roode
Bobby Roode was a top, albeit fairly bland, star in TNA for years, and all it took was for him to become the most over performer in NXT was the most incredible walk-out theme of the New Era.
I didn't quite realize the effect this song had on the WWE Universe until I was at NXT TakeOver: Orlando with a friend who'd never seen Roode before. It literally only took twenty seconds until he was involuntarily singing the words at the top of his lungs with 20,000 other people he'd never met.
Hours after the show, people were still singing the song in the streets.
You're probably singing it right now. How could you not be?
It's GLORIOUS and is the greatest walk-out theme in the WWE!
