Watch any episode of Monday Night Raw, Smackdown or Impact Wrestling, and it'll be rare to find one broadcast where a wrestler isn't interrupted by the entrance music of another, whether that be mid-sentence or mid-match. This is a nifty nuance devised to make the intruding performer's arrival have more impact, and it does work, but that's not to say it makes a whole load of sense! Basically, if the wrestler is appearing as a surprise, why do the production staff know to line up his/her titantron video and entrance music? Such a remark may seen tenuous, this is pro wrestling after all, the most brilliant mix of sports, drama and theatre available in entertainment. However, even if that's true, it's baffling when a wrestler leaves the arena in some form or fashion, returning during the main event to make their presence felt, and their flashy music/video combination blares into the arena alongside them. There have been examples of wrestlers not coming out to music, and simply running out to interfere in a match, but that would - ironically - intrude on the next entry.
