AEW: Ranking the top 10 theme songs
AEW needs to receive more praise for its awesome theme songs, and every single one of them fits the characters of the wrestlers they have been selected for. But which themes are the best?
Whether it’s The Undertaker‘s “Dark Side” theme or the iconic giggles in the Lil’ Kim song used as Trish Stratus’ theme, a wrestler’s entrance music can mean everything. Listening to fans sing Shinsuke Nakamura‘s or Becky Lynch‘s song has been one of life’s joys as a pro wrestling fan, and there are already AEW theme songs that have become popular to sing in arenas.
All Elite Wrestling has done a fantastic job of selecting songs that are different, fit the wrestlers they are designed for, and addicting to listen to.
Here are the top 10 themes in AEW right now, with an honorable mention to Jon Moxley, Britt Baker, the Young Bucks, and Hikaru Shida as having theme songs that just barely missed the cut.
10. Sammy Guevara, “Take Flight” by Monteasy
AEW’s themes are pretty rock heavy, but Sammy Guevara is a mid-card wrestler with a great rap theme. I love theme songs that describe wrestlers, and the arrogance in Guevara’s theme is exceptional. This man is a future superstar who has so much flair. He’s sexy and he knows it, but he’s also arrogant enough to be incredibly dangerous to those who cross his path.
As for the song itself, the bass is tremendous, the lyrics suit him perfectly, and it’s easy to get stuck in your head. And when this song hits in the arena, you can’t help but bop to it.
9. Hangman Page, “Ghost Town Triumph”
Admittedly, I don’t like Hangman Page’s theme nearly as much as others do, but it’s hard to deny how epic it sounds. Page’s theme is like something out of a movie, and, yes, I would go with “Western” as the genre of the movie this theme would likely be found in. But, you know, that’s how it fits his character!
This song will suit Page more when his transition to the dark side is complete. For now, it’s still easy to see why so many wrestling fans enjoy Page’s theme, which is one of those songs that sounds truly epic in the arena.
