As a counter point to the worst thread. What's some of the best themes?
"Highway to Hell" by AC/DC for SummerSlam 98 was great. "My Way" by Limp Bizkit for WM X7 was legendary.
"Monster" by Imagine Dragons and "Legacy" by Eminem for WM XXX worked very well.
What about you guys?

2002-2003 ppvs all had amazing theme songs. So much so that when I hear those songs today I think of the ppvs.

If there's two good things about Wrestlemania 32 (and there are only two), one of them is "My House" by Flo Rida as the theme. So refreshingly different and such an inadvertent celebration of the community aspect of watching Mania - I still get happy whenever I hear it and it's a part of my regular Mania playlists. 2002-2003 ppvs all had amazing theme songs. So much so that when I hear those songs today I think of the ppvs. The fact that I not only have a favorite Cold song, and it's "Remedy," and that I have a second favorite Cold song, and it's "Suffocate," is pretty wild and it's all thanks to being either the main theme or secondary theme to one of the 2003 WWE B-PPVs. Seriously though, the only two themes from 2003 that I don't think I'd listen to today are the Limp Bizkit song that was clearly written over a weekend last minute on a Doritos and Mountain Dew binge, and then that one Trapt song about sucking dudes off. |

Say what you will about Saliva, but Ladies and Gentlemen fit perfectly as a Wrestlemania theme.

Don’t really like the genre but “I made it” for mania 26, and “Written In The Stars” for mania 27 were really good choices.

A recent example would be "Champion Sound" by Cypress Hill as the theme for All Out '21. An epic theme for an epic show.

2001-2009 had loads of belters, even the naff ones are memorable
"Seasons" from Veer Union for Backlash 2009 was probably the last great one until 2016 had "Stronger" by Through Fire, also for Backlash

As mentioned earlier, a lot of the 2002-2003 WWE PPV themes stuck with me.
Some of my favorites were "Always" by Saliva for Survivor Series 2002 and "Enemy" by Sevendust for Unforgiven 2003.

The OG Big 4 themes for the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series.
The WWF production team was so in their bag when they made those.

No Way Out 2003 with Bring me to Life is always atleast in my top 2.
And because this is IMO still the best B-ppv top to bottom match card ever and combine with the blacknwhite and the lock and chain graphics it is masterfully put together.

Their in house version of "Sweet Home Alabama" for Armageddon 2000 was awesome. The End for the opening packages of those shows (particularly 2000) is an all timer too. Peter Gabriel Big Time for Mania 22 and bonus points for I Dare You by Shinedown for the epic opening package. Superstar by Drowning Pool for Mania 18 as well. |

Drowning Pool did Tear Away. Saliva and WWE fit perfectly. WWE also used "Survival of the Sickest" for Unforgiven 2004, the show wasn't good but the theme was a good ppv theme. They also sang "I Walk Alone", I'm gonna say it, Saliva deserves a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. I agree with the previous mention of "Written in the Stars" that was a fantastic theme. |

I think it's cheating to name a WrestleMania theme.
Bad Blood 2003 was a favorite of mine for using "Headstrong" by Trapt.

Cool for the Summer.
Also Headstrong for the irony nu-metal pick.
Oh shit, I forgot they also had that "WAKE ME UP" Evanescence song for a show as well.
