Alicia Fox's "Shake Yo Tail" theme was clearly supposed to sound like Hot In Herre by Nelly.

Brett Hart’s WWF theme is totally Purple Haze by Jimmy Hendricks. Sorry, but... seriously? "Hendricks"?

And the band is a Rage tribute act called "Age Against the Machine".

Stone Cold's theme was created after he asked for "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against The Machine and Jim Johnson said "bet"

Mickie James' theme was very obviously evoking "Mickey" by Toni Basil. Or Kitty by Racey, if you want to be a smartass, but obviously, that isn't the version they are aping.
Finlay's theme he used like, once or twice, I remember seeing someone say it got dropped for sounding too much like Last of the Wilds by Nightwish, but I have no idea if that's the reason they dumped it.

The obvious WCW ones.
DDP - Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.
Raven - Come as you are also by Nirvana.
And I believe Jericho had a Pearl Jam song.

There's themes that don't necessarily have a similar chord progression as another song, but they're still obvious ripoffs. Like Akira Tozawa's theme for the Kill Bill music. Or Otunga's theme for "Stronger."

In terms of "Theme songs that ripped off other wrestler theme songs"
Stone Cold's theme is a remix of Razor Ramon's
Kurt Angle's theme is just a pepped up version of The Patriot's

Sting's WCW theme was just Seek and Destroy by Metallica
DDP's WCW theme was Smells like Teen Spirit from Nirvana
The NWO Theme is apparently a mish mash of Jimmy Hendrix song samples

Tozawa’s theme being mentioned reminded me of TJ Perkins’s theme straight up being Wily Castle 1 from Megaman 2.

CJ Parker's first NXT theme was a rip off of The Jimi Hendrix version of All Along The Watchtower.

Less of a ripoff and more of John Cena sample this for his theme I was today years old when I learned those trumpets were a sample. Wow! Jump to 2:12 in the song

A WCW theme, but one they took with them to WWE and then Stevie Richards took for himself, but WWE is extremely lucky Static-X never threatened legal action for the Kronik theme just blatantly being Love Dump.

Sting's WCW theme was just Seek and Destroy by Metallica This isn't really a "ripoff"... his later thing was literally Seek & Destroy.

"Come as you are" was a ripoff itself, with the main riff coming from Eighties by Killing Joke, who took legal action against Nirvana. Ironically, Dave Grohl would go on to drum for Killing Joke.
Jericho had a knockoff of Even Flow as his theme in WCW.

The NWO Theme is apparently a mish mash of Jimmy Hendrix song samples True. "Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice" "Hey Joe" "Stone Free" "Highway Chile" All of them make up the nWo theme song.

In terms of "Theme songs that ripped off other wrestler theme songs" Stone Cold's theme is a remix of Razor Ramon's Kurt Angle's theme is just a pepped up version of The Patriot's Val Venis’s theme was pretty much Rick Martel’s with a greater emphasis on the saxophone. Another non-WWE one: Elix Skipper’s WCW theme was a blatant ripoff of Party Up by DMX.

I guess I never catched the bass live, but somehow that makes the theme even worse. How can you butcher Bro Hymn like that? Bron Breakker is an expert at catching live bass.
