8 Things AEW Need To Do To Reach The Next Level

8. Louder Entrance Music

Entrance themes are one of the most integral aspects of the pro wrestling presentation. Whether it’s the glass shattering on a sensational return, or a haunting gong to interrupt a big segment, wrestlers and their mystique often become defined by the music they come out to. In that regard, AEW are well and truly lagging behind.

Yes, they are still a new promotion and producing a wrestling show is by no means an easy feat, but that doesn’t quite excuse them for underwhelming on such a vital element of the product. For the most part, viewers can’t even hear the lyrics or indeed the music properly and the songs themselves aren’t exactly tunes that will stick to your memory.

If AEW want their performers, especially those earmarked for future stardom, to become characters everyone looks forward to seeing every week, then among other things, they have to mark their arrivals with sounds loud and catchy enough to bring the audience out of their seats.
