Entrance music is an essential part of any pro wrestler's gimmick/character. It sets the tone for their walk to the ring and gives fans a taste of what the wrestler is all about simply based off the guitar riffs and bass drop. Some of the greatest theme songs in WWE history include Stone Cold Steve Austin's, The Undertaker's and Hulk Hogan's, but that's not to say there aren't awesome entrance themes today. Jim Johnston, WWE's head music director, is responsible for a majority of said songs, but even since CFO$ took over as the go-to source for entrance music, they've mostly maintained the consistent quality of entrance music in WWE. Bray Wyatt's "Live in Fear" and Sasha Banks' "Sky's the Limit" are recognizable classics, but there's plenty of songs that are actually quite excellent. Regardless of whether the wrestler debuted this year or a decade ago, the criteria for exceptional entrance music remains the same: they perfectly match the wrestlers they belong to, they're catchy and memorable, and they get the crowd amped and energized for the action. Now let's face the music.
