25 Most Iconic WWE Ring Entrances Ever

Arriving in style and lasting a lifetime - these iconic WWE entrances set fans' souls on fire

Triple H is not afraid to accept praise.

Having spent a wrestling career as one of the most divisive to ever lace up the boots, 'The Game' has experienced a far kinder run of things in his roles as boss/head of all things creative across separate periods in both NXT and WWE. The context of said plaudits is everything though. While stewarding the in-house developmental brand in the mid-2000s, he was mostly confined to posting about fruit baskets and kicking off TakeOver shows with speeches, lest he look like he was trying to gobble up the valuable time reserved for talent he was trying to mould.

He shows no such concern in the main roster spot.

Afforded time for all the bells and whistles, Hunter might never wrestle again on a show he's booked (and nobody's asking for a Reign Of Terror-adjacent run anyway) but he'll hilariously take all opportunities to bask in the glory of the hot streak he's helped pen, entrance theme and all. For much of his career, the water-spitting stomp to the ring was the best part of his act anyway. At least once, he walked the aisle in a scene so rapturously memorable that it even finds a home in this very list, and he's now taken to uploading videos of him producing talents hoping to get a night similar to a certain New York minute or five he received once upon a time.

It's an art more than a science, but when the formula works...

25. Seth Rollins (WrestleMania 41)

Seth Rollins always looks great in white, and the fact that Vince McMahon hated his SummerSlam 2015 get-up should have been the first point at which everybody stopped and openly acknowledged that the former chief was fried as a creative force. Revealing some WrestleMania white from beyond an enormous black cloak during his 2025 entrance was a direct reversal of how the finish of his match with CM Punk and Roman Reigns played out, but then Rollins told everybody he was burning it all down by shooting fire at the audience.

It was some necessary ostentatiousness from Rollins, who had worked hard not to become the third man in a two-man feud before the 'Show Of Shows'. The bout was pointedly Punk's first time going on last on the 'Grandest Stage', and with the most of the story revolving around Paul Heyman's divided loyalties between the 'Voice Of The Voiceless' and Roman Reigns, Rollins' raison d'être was only clear to himself before the bell. 

The flame-thrower was good for the lore fans too - plenty of folk speculated that it was an intentional call-back to when The Rock (somewhat infamously) set his own name on fire as part of his self-indulgent cameo at WrestleMania 32. With Rollins and Heyman toasting their grand union as Night One went off the air, the prospect of 'The Final Boss' somehow being at the centre of it was made all the more plausible. Knowing how Rock does business now, the payoff isn't even off the table, even if it takes another 'Show Of Shows' to get here.
