Since the departure of Jim Johnston in 2017, the WWE entrance music has been hit or miss. He helped create many iconic themes songs like Steve Austin's "I Won't Do What You Tell Me" and Shawn Michael's "Sexy Boy." Still, many wrestlers on the current WWE roster like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Bianca Belair have the best entrances songs of their entire careers.
Just like most wrestlers have had a horrible gimmick that they want to be forgotten, many wrestlers also have a horrible theme song they wish could be erased. This list will examine the worst entrance music for ten current WWE superstars.
10 Roman Reigns - "The Truth Reigns"
No entrance song in WWE history welcomes boos like the first chords of "The Truth Reigns." In all honesty, the horrible song fit Roman who was horribly portrayed in his late 2010s push.
His current theme "Head of the Table" is perfect for Reigns. It's more mature and helps sell the "Tribal Chief" as a force of nature rather than a "light eye colored nothing" that "The Truth Reigns" presented to fans.
9 Bayley - "Turn It Up"
Few stars have benefited from a heel turn like Bayley. She went from a pony tailed cartoon character to a true heel that made fans despise her perfect teeth.
Like her first gimmick, Bayley's theme "Turn It Up" is one of the most childish theme songs in the history of the WWE. The song would have worked better if Bayley entered the ring in a mascot costume.
8 Edge - "On the Edge"
When Edge debuted in the WWE with a "grifter" gimmick he was as aimless as his first theme song "On the Edge." Overall, the tune is nothing more than a generic rock song that could belong to any wrestler.
Edge went from that nothing song to one of the best WWE theme songs of all time "Metalingus" by Alter Bridge. It's hard to imagine the "R Rated Superstar" without his trademark rock tune. He does have a call back to "On the Edge" with the opening "you think you know me" lines at the beginning of the track.
7 Sami Zayn - "Lower the Boom"
Sami Zayn has been a staple in the WWE since his debut on the main roster in 2015. Although his current entrance song, "This is It," is often considered a step-down from "Worlds Apart," Zayn has had one tune at the WWE that was a major step down from both of those tunes. His second official entrance song, "Lower the Boom," was awful.
The hardcore metal/rap song is way too aggressive for Sami Zayn. It felt a better fit for a Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game than a lively superstar like Sami Zayn. The song lasted a short time before Zayn changed it to "Worlds Apart."
6 Rey Mysterio - "March of Death"
Rey Mysterio has one of the most iconic entrance songs in the history of the WWE. "Booyaka 619" has been his theme song for so long that WWE creative found out it had curse words in Spanish and started censoring the lyrics in the 2010s.
Mysterio's time at WCW helped him grow as a wrestling star, but his first theme at the company was awful. "March of Death" was a dark Undertaker-esque theme that made no sense for a man as colorful and exciting as Mysterio.
5 Austin Theory - "Sound the Alarm"
Theory hasn't been on the WWE main roster for long, but he's already become the youngest Money in the Bank contract winner, which he loves to say over and over again. He's now become a mainstay on WWE programming.
He had a bad rap song called "Sound the Alarm." All fans need to know about this horrible tune is one of the most creative rap bars on the track is "hot as a kettle."
4 AJ Styles - "Born & Raised"
AJ Styles currently has one of the best entrance themes on the entire WWE roster. It's as phenomenal as he has been at the company. As many know, Styles has wrestled for many promotions in his career, but he became a wrestling star at TNA.
TNA fans will remember his iconic tune "I Am," but he had an awful theme that preceded "I Am." For whatever reason, Styles used "Born & Raised" a country-rock theme that was by far the worst of his career.
3 Kofi Kingston - "S.O.S"
Before KofiMania, The New Day, and a WWE Championship run, Kofi Kingston debuted in ECW with a Jamaican gimmick despite Kingston being a Ghanaian-American.
In retrospect, his original tune "S.O.S" makes no sense for Kofi. It's also a product of its time with the T-Pain autotune harmonies.
2 Dolph Ziggler - "Team Spirit"
With "I Am Perfection" and "Here to Show the World," Dolph Ziggler has had some great entrance tunes over his career. Long before he was a solo superstar in the WWE, "Dolph Ziggler" was "Nicky" a member of the horrible faction The Spirit Squad.
Their entrance theme was as well-thought-out as their gimmick. It was awful, they were awful, and Ziggler screamed: "Nicky" (in the most cheesy way possible) on the track.
1 Finn Balor - "The Other Breath"
Finn Balor went from one of the best entrance songs in the WWE with "Catch Your Breath" to one of the worst with "The Other Breath." It's a heel variation of "Catch Your Breath" that removed all the magic from the original song. It sounds bland instead of dark.
He will hopefully revert to his original tune after the Judgment Day finishes... whatever their goal is at the WWE.
