8 Def Rebel WWE Themes That That AREN’T Complete Garbage

By the time you read this, Seth Rollins may no longer have 'The Vision' - a song created (via subtle tweaks) for him back in 2021 that took him all the way from gatekeeping top heel to most over babyface on the show and all the way back again. 

In 2025, Rollins linked up with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to run roughshod on Monday Night Raw, ostensibly with the goal of once again becoming the top guy in the entire company while quietly opening the door for at least one of the prospects to walk through and be the next one when he departs. The problem with all of this is Rollins' entrance music, which still gets a deafening response every time he uses it. It's perhaps Def Rebel's single biggest achievement while working for the company even if it's now a slight albatross - the singalong element is so beloved and effective that it completely undermines Rollins' attempts to be villainous. 

So good and in support of a wrestler fans had bonded with for a decade, the strange mix of genres, tempos and keys seemed to fit Rollins as he unravelled, then suit him even more so when he became the most outlandish and ostentatious-looking star on the show. Rollins rode it all the way to a run as the first ever World Heavyweight Champion and even carried the World Heavyweight Championship into celebrated displays on both nights of the equally well-regarded WrestleMania XL.

It's little wonder he doesn't want rid of it, even if at this point the intent of his push may actively be threatened by its power.
