Roman Reigns Debuts New Theme Song On WWE SmackDown
The Shield theme appears to have been officially buried on this week's WWE SmackDown.
Roman Reigns debuted a brand new entrance theme during last night's episode of Friday Night SmackDown on FOX.
With the Universal Champion putting his belt on the line in a Career vs. Title match against Daniel Bryan in the main event of the latest blue brand offering, the Tribal Chief took this moment to introduce the world to his epic new entrance music as he strutted to the ring for said dramatic encounter.
Judging from Anthony Mirabella's Instagram account, it appears as though the Def Rebel man and his partners were the ones behind The Head of the Table's musical shift. Def Rebel have been responsible for the majority of new WWE themes in the wake of CFO$ ceasing creating them in 2019.
The reigning Universal Champion hinted at a change in theme song as far back as September, stating that he wanted to ensure the alteration accurately portrayed his current, always-evolving character:
“I want all the nuances to add up. As a full time performer, I have to keep things fresh, and do something new every week. That’s why we have decided to save the new music. And hopefully down the line, once more drastic things happen, and the story unfolds, you’ll hear it."
He'd then later add that they were "working on it" in January, but still noted that it "had to be the right vibe."
Away from Reigns' distinct new theme, the biggest talking point coming out of last night's SmackDown was the confirmation that Bryan has now been officially barred from the blue show after failing to capture the brand's top title in the aforementioned main event. The champ with a musical revamp now looks set to feud with Cesaro coming into WrestleMania Backlash.
