In a fun fact, eventually, WWE would re-use “This Fire Burns” for a debuting ECW Superstar named CM Punk.Ģ5. At one point, WWE tried to replace this theme with “This Fire Burns”, but that was scrapped after only a few appearances, and Orton would return to this one before finally replacing it with his current “Voices” theme. Orton’s first theme after he was kicked out of Evolution is ostensibly a song about getting revenge, which then made the transition easily into his heel persona after they massively bungled his face run. That’s not musically related, but we feel like it has to be mentioned. Plus, and we can’t stress this enough, her entrance involves wacky arm-waving inflatable tube men. In a world where everyone has to be somewhat dark and gritty, it’s nice to have at least one wrestler whose theme music wouldn’t be out of place in a Saturday morning cartoon. All we know is that Bayley’s theme is one of the few that can make us smile unironically during a wrestling show.
It’s hard to explain why this theme makes us so darned happy. Actually, Christian even got a good theme song in TNA, when they briefly had the funds to give their wrestlers cool theme songs that were mostly covers of actual popular music (in Christian’s case, it was a version of Evanescence’s “My Last Breath”), but we doubt many people ever got to hear it. Others might prefer Christian’s operatic “At Last” theme, but they literally released sixteen different variations of that song until they managed to ruin it completely, while this newer theme, which heralded Christian’s return from exile in TNA, is just as good, if not better. On the list of things we never thought we’d write, “a Story of the Year cover of a Waterproof Blonde song” has to be way up there, but here we are. It’s off-beat, it’s kind of goofy, and it’s become more and more appropriate for Foley as he spends his retirement turning further into a giant lovable Muppet. And for a theme that starts with a car accident, it’s surprisingly upbeat and catchy, making it instantly recognizable as belonging to one of WWE’s most positive (and also deranged) performers. Only Mick Foley could have theme music that starts with two cars crashing into each other, which might as well be an allegory for his entire career. Sure, it’s no “Ole, Ole, Ole”, the theme preferred by Zayn’s mentor El Generico, but if WWE’s live crowds are any indication, it’s definitely the kind of song you can enjoy singing along with.
The Underdog from the Underground brings his love of ska to his entrance music, and while we’re not sure we particularly enjoy the genre as a whole, this song plays perfectly into Zayn’s carefree and upbeat character.
The most likeable guy in WWE also has one of the catchiest themes. A slower, more menacing version was used when Eddie turned heel, but sadly it wasn’t in circulation long before his tragic death. When he finally got his run as WWE Champion, this was the theme music he used, which was adopted from the theme he had been sharing with his nephew Chavo during their time as a tag team. Somehow, Eddie Guerrero turned lying, cheating, and stealing into laudable things, probably because he was an incredible performer with charisma to spare.

Over the years, pro wrestling has delivered dozens and dozens of classic theme songs, and it was torturous trying to limit ourselves to even just thirty of the very best, which is why we ended up going over. Plus, because wrestling is such a high energy atmosphere, they’re great for getting yourself pumped up, whether it’s for some athletic endeavor or just trying to get psyched for another day at the office. They help establish characters, set the tone for upcoming matches, and most of all, they’re often really catchy and fun to listen to.
