10 Awesome (But Short-Lived) WWE Theme Songs
1. Battlescars (The B-Team)
This song is the reason I made this list.
After Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas were separated from The Miz earlier this year, they wanted to convince the WWE Universe that they didn't need Miz and that they could be successful on their own. So, they adopted this unalloyed banger of an entrance theme as well as a new name, The B-Team.
To put it bluntly, this theme is fantastic.
First off, it has what every wrestling theme song needs - an intro. There's nothing worse to me than a theme song that just jumps right in without any build. It also has what I like to call the "Burn it Down Effect," which is a singular lyric that the audience is meant to belt along with. From there, the song becomes a sludgy hard-rock anthem fit for a main-eventer.
It's no coincidence that the duo spiraled back down into irrelevance after they abandoned this theme in favor of their current, pep band-inspired theme music just a few months later. The reasoning for doing so is understandable (God forbid anyone start taking The B-Team seriously), but it's a shame that it had to happen at the expense of this song.
