Top 31 Wrestling Entrance Themes of All Time

We are passionate about wrestling entrance themes. They are essential for shaping a wrestler's identity, creating the right mood for matches, and, above all, they are often highly infectious and entertaining. Additionally, the high-energy nature of wrestling makes these themes perfect for boosting your adrenaline, whether you're preparing for a workout or just need motivation for a busy day. Over the decades, professional wrestling has produced countless iconic theme songs, and narrowing them down to just thirty was a challenging task—so much so that we couldn't resist going slightly over.

31. Eddie Guerrero - Viva La Raza

Eddie Guerrero masterfully transformed deceit and trickery into admirable traits, largely due to his exceptional talent and magnetic personality. When he achieved his WWE Championship reign, he used this theme, originally shared with his nephew Chavo during their tag team days. A darker, slower version was introduced during his heel turn, but it was short-lived due to his untimely passing.

30. Sami Zayn - Worlds Apart

WWE's most endearing personality also boasts one of its most infectious themes. Sami Zayn, the Underdog from the Underground, infuses his love for ska into his entrance music, perfectly complementing his cheerful and lively persona. While ska might not be everyone's favorite genre, this track resonates with Zayn's character and has become a crowd favorite, often sung along by live audiences. Though it may not rival his mentor El Generico's iconic 'Ole, Ole, Ole,' it’s undeniably a tune that gets fans on their feet.

29. Mick Foley - Wreck

Only someone like Mick Foley could have an entrance theme that begins with the sound of crashing cars, symbolizing his chaotic and hard-hitting career. Despite its unconventional start, the track is surprisingly lively and memorable, perfectly capturing the essence of one of WWE’s most eccentric yet beloved performers. Over time, the quirky and slightly absurd nature of the theme has only grown more fitting as Foley has embraced his role as a larger-than-life, endearing figure in retirement.

28. Christian - Just Close Your Eyes

It’s surprising to say, but Christian’s theme, a Story of the Year cover of a Waterproof Blonde track, stands out as one of the most unexpected yet brilliant choices. While some may favor his earlier operatic theme “At Last,” the overuse of its variations diluted its impact. This newer theme, marking his return from TNA, is equally, if not more, impressive. Interestingly, Christian also had a standout theme in TNA, a cover of Evanescence’s “My Last Breath,” though it remains lesser-known due to limited exposure.

27. Bayley - Turn It Up

Bayley’s theme has an inexplicable ability to bring genuine joy. Amidst a wrestling world often dominated by dark and edgy personas, her upbeat and cheerful entrance music feels refreshingly out of place, like something straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon. Adding to the charm are the wacky inflatable tube men that accompany her entrance—a delightful touch that deserves a mention, even if it’s not directly tied to the music.

26. Randy Orton - Burn In My Light

Randy Orton’s first solo theme after leaving Evolution, 'Burn In My Light,' was initially about seeking revenge, seamlessly transitioning into his heel persona after a poorly received face run. WWE briefly replaced it with 'This Fire Burns,' but the change was short-lived, and Orton reverted to this track before eventually adopting his current 'Voices' theme. Interestingly, 'This Fire Burns' was later repurposed for CM Punk’s debut in ECW. Despite the changes, 'Burn In My Light' remains a fan favorite.

25. Daniel Bryan - Flight Of The Valkyries

Daniel Bryan’s choice of 'Flight of the Valkyries' as his theme is an amusing contrast to his understated personality. The shift to this grandiose classical piece came after The Miz criticized Bryan’s original theme as dull and generic, prompting WWE to go to the opposite extreme. Additionally, using public domain music allowed WWE to modify it into Bryan’s iconic theme without licensing concerns.

24. Batista - I Walk Alone

Saliva, though not a long-lasting sensation, made a significant impact in WWE by contributing several tracks, including Batista’s iconic theme, 'I Walk Alone.' This powerful anthem perfectly complemented Batista’s imposing 'Animal' persona and his explosive entrance, complete with machine gun pyro effects.

23. The Road Warriors - What A Rush

While their original 'Iron Man' theme is legendary, potential legal concerns with Black Sabbath led us to highlight 'What A Rush.' This theme perfectly encapsulated the Road Warriors’ dominance, promising destruction and intimidation. Though 'Iron Man' remains superior, licensing issues ensure 'What A Rush' will forever be associated with one of wrestling’s greatest tag teams.

22. Goldberg

Goldberg’s entrance, famously the longest in wrestling history (yes, even longer than The Undertaker’s non-WrestleMania walks), is accompanied by a military-style march perfectly timed for the crowd’s 'Goldberg' chants. Initially, WCW’s clever use of piped-in chants worked wonders, though fans eventually caught on. When WWE signed Goldberg, they inexplicably altered his theme to a darker, more menacing version, which confused audiences since he was portrayed as a hero. This decision, among others, highlights Vince McMahon’s tendency to hold grudges long after WCW’s demise.

21. John Cena - Basic Thuganomics

While John Cena’s current theme has lost its charm for many, his original 'Basic Thuganomics' track remains a fan favorite. This theme, tied to his rapper persona, symbolizes a heel turn that never happened but remains a beloved 'what if.' Even today, if 'Basic Thuganomics' played, the crowd’s reaction would be electric, proving its enduring popularity.

20. Mr Perfect - Perfection

Mr. Perfect’s theme, a classical masterpiece, perfectly matched his character’s claim of being flawless in every way. The grandeur of the music felt almost too majestic for a wrestler, yet it suited him impeccably. Even Curtis Axel’s remixed version of the theme during his Paul Heyman-led push was well-received, a testament to the original’s timeless appeal.

19. Bray Wyatt - Live In Fear

Bray Wyatt’s entrance theme defies traditional wrestling expectations with its slow, eerie melody that doesn’t immediately suggest violence. Yet, for a character like Wyatt—a mysterious swamp cult leader—the subdued tempo perfectly complements his persona. The hypnotic quality of the music mirrors the cult-like allure of Wyatt and his Family, adding an unsettling tension to their appearances. It’s no wonder fans began swaying and holding up lights during his entrances, as if entranced by the haunting rhythm.

18. Ted DiBiase - Million Dollar Man

The Million Dollar Man’s theme could have been a simple loop of his iconic laugh and still earned a high spot on this list. Long before Shane McMahon’s 'Here Comes the Money,' Ted DiBiase’s theme was the ultimate anthem of wealth and excess. Its frequent use during the New Generation era, when DiBiase’s Million Dollar Corporation dominated WWE programming, cemented its place in wrestling history. The theme’s association with opulence and power remains unforgettable.

17. Steve Austin - I Won't Do What You Tell Me

Steve Austin’s theme, with its iconic glass shattering intro, is guaranteed to ignite one of the loudest reactions in wrestling history. However, beyond that legendary opening, the track lacks depth, relying heavily on a repetitive beat that, while fitting for Austin’s rebellious persona, doesn’t offer much variety. Additionally, it’s worth noting that the theme is essentially a remix of Razor Ramon’s music, a fact that’s now openly acknowledged.

16. Ric Flair - Also Sprake Zarathrusta

Many may not realize that Ric Flair’s iconic theme is originally a classical piece and the soundtrack to Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. For wrestling fans, however, it is forever tied to the Nature Boy. Charlotte Flair’s modern remix of the theme deserves praise for blending her father’s legacy with a contemporary twist, ensuring its continued relevance.

15. Brock Lesnar - Here Comes The Pain

One of the standout features of Brock Lesnar’s theme is the dramatic pause after the opening riff, a moment Tazz famously filled with his iconic line, 'Here comes the pain!' Like the Road Warriors’ theme, Lesnar’s track is heavy and intimidating, evoking a sense of unstoppable force. The rhythm mirrors Brock’s no-nonsense, businesslike approach to destruction—entering, dominating, and exiting with ruthless efficiency.

14. Edge - Metalingus

After cycling through several themes, Edge finally landed on this Alter Bridge track, which became synonymous with his Rated R Superstar persona. Despite its Creed-like origins, the song’s uplifting lyrics oddly complemented Edge’s villainous character. His retirement was a loss for many reasons, not least because it meant the end of hearing this iconic theme during his electrifying entrances.

13. Hulk Hogan - Real American

Hulk Hogan initially used 'Eye of the Tiger' during his WWE debut, referencing his role in Rocky III. However, he soon became inseparable from Rick Derringer’s patriotic anthem, 'Real American.' While Hogan switched to Jimi Hendrix’s 'Voodoo Child' in WCW, his 2002 WWE return reignited fan excitement as the iconic opening notes of 'Real American' echoed through arenas once more.

12. Bret Hart - Hitman

The opening guitar riff of Bret Hart’s theme is one of the most iconic in wrestling history, instantly signaling the arrival of the Calgary legend. The fast-paced, energetic hard rock track contrasts with Hart’s calm, methodical demeanor but never fails to electrify the crowd. While his WCW run lacked the same popularity, the absence of this legendary theme might have played a subtle role.

11. Randy Savage - Pomp and Circumstance

Classical music has proven to be a timeless choice for wrestling themes, and Randy Savage’s use of 'Pomp and Circumstance' is no exception. Recognizable from countless graduation ceremonies, this orchestral masterpiece signals the arrival of Macho Madness. Its grandeur and memorability perfectly match the larger-than-life persona of one of wrestling’s greatest legends.

10. Sasha Banks - Sky's The Limit

Sasha Banks, along with the rest of the Four Horsewomen, was part of the NXT wave that revolutionized WWE entrance themes. Her 'Sky’s The Limit' theme perfectly complements her 'Boss' persona, featuring compelling music and lyrics that resonate with fans. The theme’s popularity was further cemented when Snoop Dogg, her cousin, performed it live at WrestleMania 32, creating one of the event’s most memorable moments.

9. Kurt Angle - Medal

Originally crafted for The Patriot’s brief stint in 1997, Kurt Angle’s theme captures the essence of his Olympic legacy, making it an instant classic. The fan-driven 'You Suck' chant became so ingrained that WWE tried altering the theme during Angle’s face runs to discourage it. Nowadays, the company seems more lenient, allowing similar chants like 'John Cena Sucks' without interference.

8. Bobby Roode - Glorious Domination

Bobby Roode’s 'Glorious Domination' is impossible to ignore, despite initial hesitation to include it for fear of being labeled trendy. This anthem has proven its staying power, with entire arenas singing along and viral videos under #GloriousBomb. Its grandeur and over-the-top perfection make it one of wrestling’s most iconic themes, and its potential as a sports team anthem is undeniable. Simply put, it’s glorious.

7. Evolution - Line in the Sand

A legendary stable like Evolution required an equally legendary theme, and they delivered with 'Line in the Sand.' Triple H’s connection to Motörhead led to the creation of this original track, cementing its iconic status. Interestingly, the initial entrance video was made before Batista joined the group, resulting in his clips being awkwardly spliced into the existing footage.

6. D-Generation X - Break It Down

D-Generation X’s theme resonated deeply with the rebellious youth of the late '90s, perfectly capturing the group’s anti-establishment ethos. Their entrance, blending video clips with live theatrics, mirrored the chaotic energy of one of wrestling’s most anarchic factions. A fun tidbit: many fans mistakenly believed Rage Against the Machine performed the original theme, though this was never the case.

5. Chris Jericho - Break The Walls Down

Chris Jericho’s theme has become inseparable from his persona, so much so that WWE’s attempts to replace it were quickly reversed. Few wrestlers have maintained the same entrance music throughout their careers, especially during an era when remixes and rap versions were common to promote music sales. Jericho’s 'Break the Walls Down' remains a timeless anthem in wrestling history.

4. Shinsuke Nakamura - The Rising Sun

The term 'instant classic' is rarely used, but Nakamura’s 'The Rising Sun' unquestionably earns the title. Fans were initially concerned WWE wouldn’t replicate his iconic NJPW theme, but this blend of strings and synthesizers proved to be a flawless match for the King of Strong Style.

3. Triple H - The Game

Motörhead’s influence on wrestling themes is undeniable, with two of their tracks in the top ten. While 'My Time' holds nostalgic value, 'The Game' is the definitive theme for Triple H, the self-proclaimed King of Kings. Its epic tone perfectly matches his larger-than-life persona.

2. CM Punk - Cult of Personality

WWE’s investment in CM Punk was evident when they secured Living Colour’s 'Cult of Personality' as his theme, a track he previously used in Ring of Honor. They even paid royalties for its use in archival footage on the WWE Network, a rare move for licensed music. The band’s live performance of the song at WrestleMania 29 further underscored its significance.

1. Undertaker - Rest In Peace

No theme in wrestling history has evoked as much awe and reverence as The Undertaker’s 'Rest in Peace.' The haunting toll of the funeral bell and the chilling melody have become synonymous with his legendary entrances. This theme is a cornerstone of The Undertaker’s mystique, ensuring his aura remains unmatched.
