10 WWE Superstars Who Desperately Need New Entrance Theme Music
10. Shelton Benjamin
Is there much point in discussing the WWE career of Shelton Benjamin at this point? The halcyon days of beating Triple H on RAW seem like light years ago now as Shelton plies his trade on the periphery, trading wins and losses with Cedric Alexander and Akira Tozawa on WWE Main Event. A coaching role cannot be too far away.
Professional wrestlers don’t just go quietly into the night. Shelton may only grace big-time television for Brock Lesnar-related chuckles (and the occasional stare and smile into the distance) but it remains a crime that his entrances are soundtracked by the depressingly generic tones of ‘Set It Off’. This is advert music. The sort of song that plays in the background as a diverse group of teenagers decides which smartphone to buy. It certainly doesn’t sound like the precursor to a fight.
Shelton Benjamin once had a great theme tune. You could say it set the ‘gold standard’ for theme tunes, but that might be a little too close to the nose. Even if he is resigned to losing to No Way Jose on a show that nobody watches, the former United States and Intercontinental Champion deserves to do it with a good song in tow.
