10 Best Current WWE Theme Songs

8. Baron Corbin (I Bring The Darkness - End Of Days)

There was nothing particularly wrong with Baron Corbin's old theme, but there's no denying that his new one has upped the ante.

What was once a serviceable slice of riffing goodness has been replaced by the dulcet tones of Bad Wolves frontman Tommy Vext and a better production value overall. The monkish chants that prelude Vext's cry of, "Who do you think you are?" give the song an epic feel motorcycle engines never could.

For an example of how seasoned songwriters turn meandering dirge into something more, check out the climbing guitar work two minutes in. That deft playing collides well with Vext's increasing sense of frustration, almost like he's being overlooked by those who don't understand him. Sounds familiar to Corbin fans, eh?

If that all sounds a tad dramatic, it should. Music in wrestling is supposed to provoke feelings about someone's character, and it's a good thing if someone, anyone is willing to look into things a bit too much. This song is one Corbin, as a self-confessed metal fan, must be proud of.
