Ranking What Was Really The Best Wrestling Entrance Theme Every Year 1990-2021

7. 2015 - Sasha Banks

WWE hasn't felt remotely cool or state-of-the-art in any way since 2001.

Unless Sasha Banks was posing her way to the NXT ring in 2015.

A half-fashionable drum track follows the synths that bubble up into the mix before the song explodes into a chorus that is as catchy as all hell and brimming with confidence. The strings ascend in the pre-chorus, just like the subject, in what sounds like the emergence to a throne.

It's a fantastic song that almost certainly plays in your head when you look back on the glory years of the black and gold: swagger-drenched bubblegum pop that positions Banks as the coolest wrestler in the place.
