No one who watches the WWE or wrestling in general needs to be told how important the entrance theme song is in the success of a wrestler. Obviously, a good song alone is not enough to make a bad wrestler into a star, but there is no denying that a good entrance theme can carry an audience and make it easier to win them over.
The following are the best songs WWE has produced for their wrestlers. This list takes into account songs that are currently in use as well as songs that were replaced by others or simply that a particular wrestler has already retired.
Bobby Roode – Glorious Domination
Bobby Roode (or Robert Roode, as he called himself for a while) had never been big star material. Nevertheless, one cannot say that he is a bad wrestler. That said, it’s hard to argue with the statement that the best part of his character is… his song. After several years, Glorious Domination has already become so familiar that it doesn’t make such an impression.
It is still undoubtedly a catchy and easy song to sing, and builds tension very well. As far as songs go, WWE has very rarely hit the spot as well as they did in this case – it is a bit of a shame that such a good theme was wasted on, after all, a wrestler currently at the bottom of the food ladder.
Chris Jericho – Break The Walls Down

Break The Walls Down is an incredibly catchy song that does perfectly what an entrance theme should do – excite and get the blood boiling in your veins. The fact that it fits perfectly with Chris Jericho’s character certainly doesn’t hurt either. For lifelong wrestling fans, Break The Walls Down is easily one of the most recognizable and most popular hits of all time when it comes to WWE songs.
Vince McMahon – No Chance in Hell

Vince McMahon is a very interesting character. One could get sick of him in recent years, but at one time, during the historic storyline with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, he was the man who brought WWE to the height of popularity. This was undoubtedly facilitated by the song “No Chance in Hell,” which on the one hand is extremely annoying, while on the other hand is incredibly catchy and fits McMahon’s character perfectly.
Shinsuke Nakamura – The Rising Sun
Back when Nakamura made his NXT debut, it seemed like the sky was the limit for him. The original look, the amazing skills (he’s nicknamed King of Strong Style for a reason) and, genius song, as if that wasn’t enough. Instrumental songs don’t necessarily work; in fact, they most often fail because fans have a hard time singing them.
No such problem in this case, and although Nakamura’s star no longer glows as brightly as it once did, a shiver can still run down someone’s spine at the sound of thousands of people chanting his song. This song is even more impressive when it is not played from a recording, but rather played live as Nakamura heads to the ring.
The Undertaker – Rest in Peace
Just by killing that legendary gong and turning off the lights in the arena, the excitement among the fans grows to enormous proportions. “Rest in Peace” is the ultimate proof that sometimes less is more. It is an incredibly simple song in terms of concept, yet incredibly atmospheric and recognizable. It is difficult to imagine Undertaker without this track accompanying him. It is also hard, at least in WWE, to find another entrance theme that would make such a huge impression.
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin – I Won’t Do What You Tell Me

There are so many unique aspects to Steve Austin’s “Stone Cold” that his entrance theme is often barely mentioned, and more time is spent on his incredible charisma and technical skills. There is a reason why the sound of breaking glass is inextricably associated with Stone Cold. By itself, this song, if given to some insignificant wrestler, would likely not make a splash. When paired with Austin, however, it has no equal.
Triple H – The Game
The Game is not a song made by Jim Johnston, WWE’s longtime composer, or his successor, CFO$. Instead, it was composed by WWE friend and world-renowned band Motorhead, and it’s no surprise that it is one of the best songs in WWE history. All in all, Triple H has had quite a few great (and slightly less great) songs in his career, including “King of Kings”. But most people will unquestionably agree that “The Game” is the best quintessential representation of his character, and also the most catchy.
Best WWE Songs – Summary
A song doesn’t necessarily make a wrestler, but it does make a big difference. Undertaker, Stone Cold, Chris Jericho – would these stars have reached the same level of success if not for their brilliant songs? Most likely yes, but there’s no denying that they helped them a lot.
