10 WWE Superstars Who Desperately Need New Theme Music In 2019
7. Rusev
Rusev's theme "Roar of the Lion" is actually pretty neat: it's suitably imposing and boasts a memorable hook, but it's not remotely well-suited to where Rusev is in his career today.
As a face, the tone of the song just strikes the wrong note: this is the music of a monster heel, not a charming face like Ru-Ru.
Just take a look at his U.S. Title victory over Shinsuke Nakamura last month: the music feels totally at odds with Rusev as a face and the crowd's rapturous response to his win.
Plus isn't the whole militaristic shtick just a little old-hat in 2019? Vince, not all foreign wrestlers need to have some stereotypical, played-out iconography attached to them.
