10 Best AEW Entrance Themes

10. Ortiz & Santana

This is a fantastic theme...

...for a babyface act.

And that's the ultimate destination, you'd expect; Ortiz and Santana are extremely well-liked in wrestling circles, and this is evident in the way they project themselves. But for now, it's jarring to their presentation as part of the heel Inner Circle faction. Lyrically, the theme of the song is very much in the babyface mould; pride and power are quintessential babyface characteristics, and the audience is encouraged to interact with a call-and-response that actively disavows wrongdoing: "Put your hands up - we don't do the gang signs".

They are literally part of a gang - a gang with a mission statement to corrupt the Elite's revolution narrative. The Inner Circle exist to make a mockery of the idea that the fans made all of this happen. Chris Jericho made this happen. And yet, this is a theme explicitly designed to pop and unify the crowd.

Musically, it's a banger - a booming hip-hop call-to-arms. It's a Roy Walker tune. It's good, but it's not right.

AEW flirts quite brilliantly with shades-of-grey characterisation, but this is too drastic in tone.
