7 WWE Superstars Who Need New Theme Songs

'Real American' and 'Sexy Boy' these ain't.

In WWE, good entrance music is a key component of a character. The right theme can tell you exactly what you need to know about someone’s personality even if you’ve never watched the show before. Plus, a good entrance song gets people excited for your arrival. Without 'Sexy Boy', who is Shawn Michaels? Without the glass shattering at the start of Stone Cold’s theme, would his entrances have the same impact? Without 'Glorious Domination', would people give one iota of a damn about Bobby Roode and his NXT run?

Point is: entrance music is important, and to their credit, WWE usually do a good job of finding music that fits their characters. From Jim Johnston, to CFO$, to Downstait, the company have accumulated a talented pool of songwriters to craft a piece of music that ties to a wrestler perfectly.

But they don’t always get it right. Sometimes, the song itself isn’t very good, sometimes, it doesn’t fit their character, and sometimes, it used to work, but now the times have changed. In any case, the superstars on this list could use another trip to the studio.

7. The Usos

The Usos have become a very effective heel team, rebranding themselves last year with a more thuggish demeanor and letting loose on the mic with seemingly unhinged promos. A shame, then, that their current theme song 'Done With That' is hopelessly generic.

While CFO$ had the right idea crafting a song with a dark piano riff and booming brass to accentuate The Usos new ruthless streak, it feels so bland, like all it needs is Future’s vocals and some producer tag at the beginning, and it’ll fit right in on the hip-hop top 40. In addition, while brass is a good component, CFO$’s over-reliance on electronic brass makes the song sound cheap and tacky, which is a problem prevalent in even their good songs.

The Usos have given themselves a great deal of personality in the last few months, so it would help them to get a theme that would reflect that.
