10 Best WWE Theme Songs By Famous Artists

3. "Cult Of Personality" - Living Colour (CM Punk)

With all due respect to Killswitch Engage's "This Fire Burns" (which earns itself an honorable mention), there could not have been a song more suited to CM Punk.

"Cult of Personality" was not only Living Colour's biggest hit, but it's exactly what Punk at his peak - a charismatic public figure who influenced a band of followers to revere him in an effort to rise to a higher position within the company. And that's precisely what he did.

So, when Punk made a surprise return to WWE a few short weeks after his incredible showdown with John Cena at 2011's Money in the Bank PPV, it made sense that he was coming out to this song for the first time. By this point, he had already used his captivating public speaking ability to establish himself as somewhat of a hero to die-hard fans, and he was returning to assume his rightful place at the top of pro-wrestling's totem pole once again.

The song helped create one of the greatest segments in the history of Monday Night RAW, and has since followed Punk throughout all of his endeavors.
