Top 5 wrestling entrances of WWE Main Roster 2017

We all love a great entrance, don't we?

A great captivating entrance goes a long way in boosting a wrestler's character and persona. It often becomes the driving force in getting a wrestler over with the fans. A good entrance is a mix of great entrance music, entry ramp choreography, and fan participation.

These are my five picks for the top five WWE main roster entrances for 2017.

#5 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt on Smackdown Live

Bray Wyatt has one of the most captivating personalities on the main roster currently. His character has been somewhat built down due to bad decisions lately, but his entrance is quite unique and still very over.

With the instantly recognizable slow hypnotizing track ("Live in Fear") starting, Bray appears with a single lantern, with all lights in the arena dimmed out. This lets the fans turn on their phone flashes, which Bray calls his "Fireflies". The overall vibe is very cult-like, and his slow walk to the ring matches his personality. The lights come on as soon as he blows out the lantern, a tribute to Taker's famous entrance where the lights came on as soon as he took his hat off.

The occasional entrance with him cutting a promo and the lights going off as soon as he says, "RUN", is quite captivating too.

#4 Finn Balor

How can we talk about stunning entrances without talking about the leader of the Balor Club? Balor's entrance features the track "Catch Your Breath" by CFO$. Balor does two versions of his entrance. His usual entrance starts with him entering the ramp as soon as the opening riff of the track hits, with his back towards the crowd engulfed in fog. Balor creates two very loud pops accented with his entrance music, which are widely recognized and loved by his fans.

His "Demon King" entrance is a much more mysterious, captivating entrance. Finn is covered in face paint till his chest and slithers to the ring, and his motions appear to be possessed, matching the "Demon King" persona.

The Demon King takes a slow walk to the ring covered in fog, staring into his opponent's eyes. It's a true visual treat.

#3 Bobby Roode

Saying Bobby Roode's entrance is over, would be an understatement. The entrance is so over with the fans, that Bobby Roode has become synonymous with the word "Glorious".

The piano notes that start his entrance warm up the crowd, and as soon as the operatic voices singing, Bobby emerges from the fog. The entire crowd joins in singing the entire oh-so-catchy theme ("Glorious Domination"). This matches Roode's unique persona of being arrogant and cocky, yet so justified because he is that good and he knows it.

He is a unique mix of Ric Flair and Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase, but somehow different and unique.

Sing with me! "Glorious, I won't give in till I'm victorious!".

#2 Brock Lesnar

There is a lot that can be said about the "Beast Incarnate". But one just can't ignore the fact that fans getting goosebumps as the Mayor of Suplex City makes his way into the ring, followed by his ever-so-loyal manager Paul Heyman is a sight to behold. Brock returned to WWE to 2012, with new ring attire and tattoos. But the entrance theme stayed the same. And thank the heavens for that!

Brock Lesnar's entrance is one of the most over with the fans. This is less to do with theatrics and show-biz, but more about simply how dominating and towering a figure the beast is to look at, and the intensity with which he makes his way into the ring.

Couple that with the fact that Brock wrestles so few matches a year, there is a true buzz around the arena when the familiar music hits. Ahh, goosebumps!

#1 Shinsuke Nakamura

Hands down, the "King of Strong Style" has the best entrance of the current WWE main roster. There is just nothing as amazing to watch than see his charismatic movement in the ramp from the almost chase-like lighting. You can only see glimpses of him in the ramp, till that sweet violin riff of "The Rising Sun" hits and the entire crowd starts singing along.

"The Rising Sun" might the best work the duo CFO$ have done for WWE so far, and it is complement by Nakamura's signature moves during his entrance. His quirky hand gestures and very unique, as his signature move of passionately bending down from the middle rope as he almost lies down to the mat. You can hear the arena roar every time he does that.

These were the top five entrances of the WWE main roster for 2017. Do you agree? Who do you think should have made the list(pun intended)? Let us know in the comments below!
