10 Best Current WWE Theme Songs

7. Drew McIntyre (Gallantry)

Less than a full second into "Gallantry", fans know a little something about hulking Scotsman Drew McIntyre's background. The bagpipes give it away, and though some may confuse that with Sheamus' own Celtic heritage, those chanters at the top of Drew's theme are definitely from the highlands.

Listen to the full five minutes of the song and you can't fail to notice the repetition. That's not a negative either, because it signifies a no frills approach, which is something McIntyre has been all about since returning to WWE; the meaty thump of tribal drums backed by roaring pipes and interspersing snarls on the guitar help this one stand out.

It's immediate and to the point, just like the man's character.

McIntyre may never have a theme to top his old "Broken Dreams" epic, but that was a different man. Besides, there's time for him to return to that in the future if necessary. For now, "Gallantry" does a fine job of selling his smash mouth mentality.
