Finn Bálor's "Catch Your Breath (Remix)" is one of the WWE's most memorable themes and instantly guaranteed to get the crowd on their feet. But it's also shamelessly inspired by Royal Blood's cracking 2013 tune "Out of the Black."

Like Seth Rollins' theme, it's far from an identical reproduction, but the arrangement is undeniably similar, with CFO$ presumably hoping to evoke the same mood without getting sued or needing to pay licensing fees. The added violins in Finn's theme are a nice touch, at least.

In an odd twist, though, WWE did actually license the song for use in their 2016 Roadblock pay-per-view event. Bizarre.
