CFO$'s 20 Best WWE Themes

11. Southern Proud - The Revival

SAY YEAHHHHHH.

Everything old is new again, and The Revival has become the freshest act on WWE television by going back to 1980s heel fundamentals. They're simultaneously traditional and revolutionary, and that's perfectly illustrated by their theme. It's a song about having aggressively traditional Southern attitudes, performed in the thoroughly modern Frankenstein genre of country & western rap.

The lyrics also expand upon The Revival's t-shirt catchphrase - no flips, just fists - by establishing that those fists are made of fire. One million points if WWE decides to remake WrestleMania: The Arcade Game and throws in a Mortal Kombat style digitized Scott Dawson pummeling dudes with big burning Hulk hands as part of his special move.
