7 WWE Superstars Who Need New Theme Songs

Roman Reigns has many problems when it comes to how the fans react to him, most, heck, all of which are not his fault. You can go through all of them: he’s booked to go over audience favorites, his character is bland and poorly defined, and he will seemingly never turn heel despite the negative reactions.

Really, anything aside from a heel turn is just a band-aid at this point, but if there is a big band-aid WWE could apply while they drag their feet on actually getting Roman over, it is scrapping his current theme song.

Now, you might think the reason Roman is on this list is because since it was The Shield’s theme song, his use of it as a singles competitor devalues the song and will ultimately devalue the inevitable Shield reunion (whenever that may be). However, the reason WWE should get rid of the song for Roman is that it sucks. Period. Especially for a top face.

While it fit the Shield, as they were originally a destructive, invasive guerrilla force, the song should not be used for a top singles star. It’s clamoring, plodding buttrock that’s just two notes and a crappy guitar solo.

Those two notes are a major problem in terms of audience reaction. In a sort of inverse of the glass shattering to start Stone Cold’s theme, whenever the first two notes of Roman’s theme hits, the entire stadium immediately groans and starts booing. It’s become Pavlovian, and then the chorus of boos becomes partnered to the boring drone as Roman strolls to the ring.

WWE tries a million different things to get Roman over. Maybe one of them should be to get him a more pleasant theme song so that he’s an easier pill for the hardcore fans to swallow.
