10 Best AEW Entrance Themes
1. Chris Jericho - Judas
Even if you're not the biggest fan of it, or if you left it behind in your teenage years, the thunder and machismo of hard rawk works perfectly in the pro wrestling arena.
'Judas' is mandatory Thursday morning commute listening. The dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun opening riff is so powerful that it feels like it's piped into the mix, WWE-style, and the quieter verse works so well to put the focus on his emergence. Even his own song - which he sings - is secondary to his mere presence. The gift of his presence.
The epic, sky-scraping chorus is an ear worm that positions Jericho in his rightful place: the absolute pinnacle of the company, and perhaps the profession. Lyrically, it works perfectly for his character, too. He broke his promise to Vince McMahon to become this unhinged badass version of himself.
And Chris Jericho is the perfect wrestler to sing his own theme tune. His entire, legendary career has informed this wildly hubristic reinvention. He was always one of the best, and now, as a proven draw and the perfect picture of a World Heavyweight Champion, he's everything his few detractors said he wasn't.
About a million U.S. citizens take in Dynamite, and Chris Jericho rocked them all.
