5 best entrance themes on the current WWE roster

When it comes to the world of sports entertainment, so many things can make or break a performer. A performer in the realm of the WWE is a combination of a variety of things. Be it their gimmick, wrestling skills, mic skills, ring gear, hairstyle etcetera. One of the major contributor to their presence or their brand is their theme song. An entrance theme in a WWE arena may be subject to a lot of cheers, jeers or just plain nothing.

If there is a performer popular with the crowd, their entrance music sets the tone for the adrenaline rush

Here are the 5 best entrance themes on the current roster-

1.Brock Lesnar

One of the few things that can never get old in the WWE is watching Brock Lesnar beating up people. Be it giants or minions, he makes every bit of what he does in and outside the ring spectacular. He has a legendary manager by his side to do all the talking and that is a badass combination of must- see television.

And what marks the presence of this kickass performer?

A kickass theme song

Brock Lesnar enters the arena to a dwindling guitar tune, only to be pumped up by some heavy drum beats. The opening tune of the strings is enough to signify that something mammoth is about to go down. The theme song plays as a pronouncement in the words of Good ol’ JR that ‘business has just picked up’

2.Dean Ambrose

The Lunatic Fringe

Since the split of The Shield, Reigns has the team’s theme song modified for his entrance, Seth Rollins is doing great with his minimal drum beating theme music but Dean Ambrose’s music has been something simple yet significant.

Termed as ‘The Lunatic Fringe’, his wild/ crazy side is not a secret. The opening of the theme has an engine revving up. It may also signify an incoming crash, both of which suit Ambrose’s character superbly. Ambrose, ever since his advent into a solo career has had many moments where he’s performed so many generic formulas of the WWE, differently. The opening theme lingers on to signify his arrival and garners a reputation that Dean Ambrose is like a gathering storm.

3.Finn Balor

Arguably, the best part about Finn Balor is his spectacular entrance. Face paint or no face paint, Balor makes his entrance to his theme song quite mesmerizing.The way he embraces the beats and the sudden sway of his arms when the song reaches a crescendo has already caught on with the audience in the NXT arena. Not only does he have one of the best entrances in the WWE today, his music is something that’s interesting to listen to. Combine that with what he does when the music hits the arena and we have a fierce combination.

4.Bray Wyatt

“Follow the buzzards’

Bray Wyatt, like Finn Balor, has a spectacular entrance but the fact remains that Bray Wyatt gives out more video promos than making an entrance and that may be reasonable since having such an elaborate entrance being played out again and again may render its spectacle-aura invalid.

It’s a simple tune to grasp with an eerie feel to it. It fits his persona and on big stages, like a PPV, does enough to intimidate his opponent and set the audience waiting for something interesting to unfold.

5.Charlotte

Charlotte

It won’t be an overstatement to say that there aren’t many well-developed female characters in the WWE,right now.A former writer himself said that all the writing material for women were formed on the basis “that there really are no babyfaces or heels in the Divas division. It was strongly implied that the Divas are all just a bunch of catty chicks, most of whom are mentally unstable.”

Though, the women in NXT are given much more opportunities to develop as compelling characters.

Paige was the first proper recruit from NXT. She had an anti- diva gimmick that was popular. She even has a catchy theme song. But not so much as Charlotte’s.

Despite carving her own niche, there is no way you can see Charlotte without seeing Ric Flair. And that’s a good thing. She exudes that aura of greatness and her theme song may start on a simple, generic note but then it moves on to become so, so much better. Nostalgia reigns strong as Ric Flair’s legendary theme song (from a legendary film like 2001: A Space Odyssey) merges with the new tune.

It’s an ode to her father and a definite plus for her future.
