Every WWE Raw Opening Theme Song Ranked From Worst To Best

4. 'The Beautiful People' By Marilyn Manson

Used: March 10, 1997 – March 24, 1997

It's funny to think that the opening sequence that is arguably Raw's most famous was originally scored to very different music. That's right, the Attitude Era kicked off to a different theme as Stone Cold Steve Austin originally entered the warehouse of warring superstars to the sound of Marilyn Manson's 'The Beautiful People'.

If you recognise that song, that's probably because it actually ended up serving as the SmackDown theme from 2001 until 2003, but the red brand used it first. Unfortunately, it only lasted two weeks before it was replaced with the iconic in-house creation "Thorn In Your Eye".
