It's gone from soundalike Paramore to Paraless.

I feel like I'm that guy, but I really don't hate it?
The Paramore sound-a-like is obviously super iconic and if they could keep it, then yes, it's better than this version. If there's legal stuff going on, I get having to change it.
I think the only thing I'd do is get that intro closer to the original - that's the hype part of Rebel Heart, IMO. That sounded weird when he came out, but the actual verse/chorus is fine, IMO. Maybe add a female singer to the background as a nod to the original.
Also, for the record, Christian's 2009-today theme rocked. Waterproof Blond did, too, but Story of the Year did a great job with that version.

You could at least have gotten the original singer back

This just goes on a separate note of how weird WWE works its themes for people.
Like, I sort of get that you want to disassociate yourselves from CFO$ and I'll admit I don't know how their contracts work but...don't they own the themes flat out from them being a Work For Hire? I can imagine it being the case that they got some kind of royalties from it since the music industry has an inch (and only an inch) more sense than the wrestling one but if that's not the case, you own the theme. You can use it as much as you want, you'll likely get money from it since people know it. Getting stuff from a library, sure, I can get that, it's not yours and every other entertainment entity uses it (hence TK technically having the rights to Crash Holly's theme right now as well as the Hardy's), but the stubbornness over something like Broken Dreams just feels weird when you own Broken Dreams.
And don't get me started on the weirdness of not using public domain themes. WWE paid for an Imperium theme when Symphony No. 9 literally costs them nothing.

It's an awful remix of an awful song. The original was Coldplay level of throwing two songs into a blender and forgetting to blend it. Plus it sounded like they recorded it wrapped in plastic wrap. I have zero knowledge of Paramore. I thought someone with the opposite of the absolute pitch heard a VersaEmerge song ten years ago and went with their memory.

Definitely reminds me of the Christian situation (as others have stated). I feel like this would be a good theme to use for like a documentary piece or a hype video or something unique like that, not as his regular theme.
