Don’t judge me but sometimes when I’m at work and need to go for a walk I’ll put on Roman’s theme and just feel like an absolute boss and go back in feeling confident
AJ Styles himself wanted the theme change. He went to Adam Pearce who relayed the info to Triple H and he approved it. The song is actually by Stevie Stone and Styles himself helped write and compose it. So Def Rebel had nothing to do with it. And Styles as pretty much earned to right to have some creative control.
Listen I liked his old theme, but Def Rebel actually did something right and made it even more badass with the orchestra and the darker tones. Def Rebel misses a lot, but when they hit, they HIT!
Best themes of all time: Edge (metalingus) Cody (kingdom) Batista (I walk alone) Kane (show chemical) Glass shatters (disturbed) Chris Jericho (Judas) Hollywood rock Trish stratus Bianca Randy (burn in my life) Christian (take over) Jeff hardy (no more words) Hulk hogan
@@adambryant4149 punk’s both songs are amazing, but cult of personality is just something else. if you listen to the lyrics, it resonates with his character very well. not even as a theme but as an actual song itself, it’s my favourite song :]
24:56 In her defense, I don’t know how recent it was but I think it was after she got called up to Smackdown she did a interview talking about the change to her theme song and she said that she wanted to change it to that because she personally likes it.
We need music licensing to return. Also AJ switched songs because HE wanted it. He simply got sick of hearing the same song over and over again. He can do what he wants.
Yeah I honestly don’t mind Tiffany’s new theme and think the main reason it gets hate is because people liked the old one. People are adverse to change to the point any change is bad.
That's the problem, though. When making new music for a wrestler, you have to have your finger on the pulse of the people. If a song is loved, you need to figure out why and apply that to the new theme. Of course, if the character is changing drastically, you also need to reflect that change. Def rebel seems to have missed the first part of that memo when they signed on. While there are some songs they've made that are legit ass, a lot of them are fine, but have completely lost everything about the previous theme that made it fit to a character.
What a lot of people seem to forget is that Def Rebel can actually make great music when they want to. Their themes were pretty good from 2019-2021, but they seem to have gotten lazy.
Apollo and Andrade always had thier taglines in the beginning. Also something interesting with Bron, even when he got the new Smackdown theme, he was still using his old theme in nxt + a mix version of it with Corbin's theme. I'd actually say Def Rebel has a lot of good songs but they're mainly in NXT.
Literally I heard him say it’s a banger and I was like 😮 wdym a banger. Her def rebel theme is, in my opinion, the worst def rebel theme and downgrade of all time.
I actually like Indi Hartwells song. I've never watched her entrance so I don't know what kind of vibe it gives in that sense. However, when I'm playing 2k her song plays multiple times and it just stays stuck in my head. I can't say whether or not it's a good theme song for someone getting ready to wrestle, but outside of that it's pretty chill and laid back.
Dragon Lee is an A++ for me, I wasn't even super into Dragon Lee, but the whole intro package, the smoke coming out the dragon nose, it's just so perfect
Considering we never got Roman Reigns v Lashley one on one for the title I like to lister to their songs back to back and just imagine the chaos. Both are A++
Hey man, I appreciate your content. It would delight me more if there were also an iconic piece of every song included so that the video would not only be full of talking. That way I can feel your arguments better as well.
Def Rebel needs to get the boot - it's the biggest flaw on the current product, he does have some okay ones but the majority are just "Default Unknown Player Character"
I know he’s not in the WWE anymore, but shout-out to Heath Slater/ 3 man bands theme. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t heard it or don’t remember it
AJ Styles' theme is UNDERRATED AF in my opinion. i feel like we gotta hear it HQ cuz it ain't out on streaming platforms yet and we can really grade it from there but i like the new theme a lot. feel like his presentation needs to get a little more intense to truly fit his new "gimmick" (if we can even call it that) but yeah for me personally that new AJ Styles theme is fire
Dakota Kai's "Kombat" is an A++ When it comes to Drew, I prefer his NXT "Gallantry" theme over Broken Dreams and his current Gallows and Anderson's "Omen in the Sky" was a classic Shayna Baszler's "Loyalty is Everything" NXT theme should've never went away

or CFO$ at least
that would be amazing

YEA THAT WAS A L TAKE BROKEN DREAMS IS GOLD IDK WHAT SANTI IS TALKING ABOUT 🤦🏾♂️👎🏾
But that Cedric rap is a "banger".
Goated theme
@@YDK.ProductionSanti got L music taste fr
@@mullergui13 Ong like what is he talking ab🤣🤣🤣
grayson waller's theme is an A++ for me, just fits his character so damn well
Don’t judge me but sometimes when I’m at work and need to go for a walk I’ll put on Roman’s theme and just feel like an absolute boss and go back in feeling confident
No one's judging you man it hits hard.
I do the same thing with the rocks final boss theme when I walking outside.
Same, and D'Angelo's theme is grand
We all do it With Some Music
Work, going to get milk yeah you aren’t alone 😂
I understand the reasoning behind using Damage Ctrls theme for Dakota Kai, but Kombat (her singles theme) is such a banger
came to comment that, that theme was so good for Heel Dakota, such a brutal and vicious vibe
@@mel_alderson especially the remix with the schizophrenic screams
Kombat is such a good theme fr
it's generic heavy metal, what banger?
@@SerbianCelt it's generic and bland.
People don't know how good they had it with CFO$...
Also, the "Shh... it's Chelsea." is the only theme song shout out opening that's actually good.
add LA knight in there as well
“Gunther!”
I like ”It’s Tiffy time” it fits her character
It’s probably because people love Jim Johnston so much, that they didn’t think CFO$ could make great theme songs.
AJ Styles himself wanted the theme change. He went to Adam Pearce who relayed the info to Triple H and he approved it. The song is actually by Stevie Stone and Styles himself helped write and compose it. So Def Rebel had nothing to do with it. And Styles as pretty much earned to right to have some creative control.
Was hoping someone would say he wanted a new theme
Def Rebel isn't even an actual band! It's a music company under a WWE contract and A BUNCH OF LAWYERS!
Yes, that’s the general consensus about them……
One of the members won grammys.
@@pierreschlagenhaft7952 And?? SO has taylor swift... Your point.
@@yuckimusic2670 Not a point against them, Taylor Swift is good.
@@yourmum955i’d rather listen to Def Rebel than Taylor Swift
JD McDonagh theme song is a banger! Inspired by his previous song, "The Dragon of Jerusalem".
naw it fucking sucks, its the only one that I hear and get angry at with how bad it is
@@shad0wk113rnah it’s good the dragon of Jerusalem solos but it’s not bad
Tony D’Angelo’s new theme is one of the most UNDERRATED theme today
Listen I liked his old theme, but Def Rebel actually did something right and made it even more badass with the orchestra and the darker tones. Def Rebel misses a lot, but when they hit, they HIT!
@@kedryckjames2021 They don't even miss a lot. Their miss to hit ratio is so much closer than people give them credit for.
Seriously, it's high-key amazing. They kept the flavor of the old theme but he has true "The Don" energy with the new one.
Only person who's theme actually got improved by Def Rebel
I can't wait to know what Tama Tongas entrance will sound like
100% gonna be "It's Tonga time"
Can’t wait for the beat to hit and then immediately hear “Tama Tonga is coming to the ring”
It’s probably gonna be a tribal theme song or a rap theme song.
Fun Fact: Bobby Lashley is the wwe I know off the top of my head that has a theme from Jim Johnston, CFO$, and Def Rebel.
Seth rollins
Roman I think does too
@@jsj38 you’re right, I always thought his second coming theme was made by Johnston.
@mija4264 johnston was still employed, he helped Cfo at the beginning
Baron Corbin, Seth Rollins, I guess you could maybe say the USOs not sure on that one
A (hair) whip crack at the start of Bianca's theme could be ad iconic as the glass smash or gong or any of the instantly recognised themes.
Best themes of all time:
Edge (metalingus)
Cody (kingdom)
Batista (I walk alone)
Kane (show chemical)
Glass shatters (disturbed)
Chris Jericho (Judas)
Hollywood rock
Trish stratus
Bianca
Randy (burn in my life)
Christian (take over)
Jeff hardy (no more words)
Hulk hogan
Bobby roode, Jack swagger, Evolution and brock lesnar not making the list is crazy
Undertaker keep rollin?? Bobby Lashley Roman Gunther?
And above all of that is CM Punk's This Fire Burns
@@adambryant4149 punk’s both songs are amazing, but cult of personality is just something else. if you listen to the lyrics, it resonates with his character very well. not even as a theme but as an actual song itself, it’s my favourite song :]

A++++++++++++++++++
“SAY HIS NAME AND HE APPEARS” 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Also AJ switched songs because HE wanted it. He simply got sick of hearing the same song over and over again. He can do what he wants.
Hot take: AJ’s new them besides the “You don’t want none” is hard af. People just hate it bc his previous theme was beloved.
Yeah I honestly don’t mind Tiffany’s new theme and think the main reason it gets hate is because people liked the old one. People are adverse to change to the point any change is bad.

They still make plenty of good ones. There's definitely some misses but they tend to make great stuff for the more important wrestlers.
@@Assassin6687 Going by Google search Def Rebel started with WWE in 2020, so 2019 would still be CFO$.
@@donniejefferson9554they’re not terrible but they’re sooooo boring

Finally, the respect it deserves.
We been waiting for you Santi
Another thing about Punks theme, is as soon as you here the static crash you know who it is
I actually love the DIY theme. Its really catchy when you listen to it a lot
Glad i’m not the only one who thinks that.
Same it’s not that bad, yes Chrome Hearts is a classic but this one isn’t that bad
I always liked McIntyre's NXT theme when he returned to WWE, it was such a cool and more menacing version of his theme now
Bobby Roode's theme is goated with the sauce
Bro I fucking love santi. Always dropping banger after banger, thank you!
Each Past/Current Bloodline Member theme song slaps.
I like Bayleys old heel theme song and it would work as a babyface theme for her at this point. They shouldn't have changed it.
Her new one is actually a banger

I agree that Drew’s current theme is better than “Broken Dreams.” My hot take: Sheamus’s “Hellfire” theme is better than “Written in My Face.”
I hate to say it but I sort of miss mohawk Sheamus.
The Bar Sheamus is my favorite.
I agree 100% Written in My Face is just hot garbage. Broken Dreams is fine though. Still prefer Gallantry over it.
