10 Best Current WWE Theme Songs

by Jamie Kennedy

1. Seth Rollins (The Second Coming - Burn It Down)

Seth Rollins' theme is an unusual exception to the rule of keeping top-notch instrumentals lyric free.

It seemed cringeworthy when some metalhead shouted, "Burn It Down" that first time, but now fans have something to chant along with and Seth himself has a fitting reason to pose before continuing his entrance on the ramp. Everyone's a winner then. Lovely.

The speedy double kick drum and snappy snare hits are instantly recognisable before the sole lyric kicks in, and the crunching guitar riff stirs memories of CM Punk's "This Fire Burns". That's a good thing, and it's not like metal is a misplaced genre for Rollins. The guy looks like he could be playing lead in Killswitch Engage.

"The Second Coming" has urgency throughout, is a theme tailor-made for Money In The Bank cash ins because it doesn't have a long-winded intro and should probably never change. Seth's song suits him so much it'd be foolish to tamper with things at this point in his run.
