13 WWE Theme Songs That Are Blatant Ripoffs

13. Seth Rollins (Fear Factory - Powershifter)

You can argue that Seth Rollins' entrance theme is just riffing on formulaic metalcore music in general, but his theme "The Second Coming" sounds especially indebted to the intro of Fear Factory's 2009 song "Powershifter."

The arrangement of the guitar and drums sounds incredibly similar, but moreover it's virtually identical to Fear Factory's general style. This makes it rather likely that Rollins told CFO$ he was a fan of the band and they produced this knock-off accordingly (this is apparently a common tactic for the composers).

It's not a 1:1 copy of Powershifter, but the inspiration is blindingly obvious.
