Before a superstar has a good entrance, they need to have solid entrance music. If you can the crowd to either react, hum or sing along to your music, you’re obviously doing something right. Out of every single superstar in the WWE, I took on a very tough task in choosing five of the best right now.

5) AJ Styles

“They don’t want none.” When AJ Styles debuted at the 2016 Royal Rumble event, he came out with a theme song that absolutely no one expected him to have. Being from Gainesville, Georgia, a rap-styled theme song about country boys fits him so well. Every time his music hits, an instant reaction from the crowd happens so changing it would be a horrible mistake.

4) Randy Orton

Randy Orton debuted his current theme song “Voices” by Rev Theory in 2008 during an edition of Monday Night RAW and still has it to this day. Even though he has held that entrance music for so long, no other theme song fits him so well like this one. I prefer his former theme song which was “Burn In My Light” by Mercy Drive but I’m perfectly okay with this one too.

3) Karrion Kross

The only one to make my list from the NXT brand. He easily holds the greatest entrance in NXT with Scarlett mouthing the words to the music with a black and white screen effect to follow. As he’s currently transitioning over the dreaded main roster, it seems like everything about his must-see entrance is being taken away. After making his main roster debut where he was unsuccessful against Jeff Hardy, fans noticed that the black and white screen effect was gone along with Scarlett as well. He still has one of the best theme songs in the WWE today but needs those extra pieces to make it even better.

2) Jeff Hardy

We begged and WWE finally delivered. On a July 2021 edition of Monday Night RAW, Jeff Hardy revived his beloved “No More Words” theme song and fans found themselves back in 2008-2009. While his Hardy Boyz theme song that he shared with his brother and current AEW superstar Matt Hardy, “No More Words” just hits different. It’s so nice to see Jeff back with the entrance music that himself along with the entire WWE universe wanted back so long.

1) Shinsuke Nakamura

I mean, this is obvious, right? Shinsuke Nakamura debuted at NXT TakeOver: Dallas in 2016 against Sami Zayn and took the WWE Universe by storm. Week after week, fans would hum his theme song louder than the song actually was. Following his main roster debut, he turned heel at WrestleMania 34 by low-blowing AJ Styles following his loss to him. After that happened, he turned his song into a rock-style theme even including words in it as well to cancel the fans from trying to hum it. In January of 2021, he completed his babyface return by returning his old theme song without words in it which is by far the greatest in the WWE.
