Wouldn't be surprised if they have a contract for X years, and they don't want to break it. But it's sad we've gone back to the waning Johnston days where they felt they needed to add a "THIS IS WHO IS COMING OUT!" voice clip to every song. This has been my assumption as well. Like, they gotta know the people making the music are dogshit (stuff like Orton flat out refusing their song) and they can't just let them go as they're still under contract. I'd say pay whatever the cost is to break the contract (if applicable) and beg Jim Johnston to come back. And since one of the 3 dudes in def rebel is a laywer, WWE ain't getting out of that contract early.

Back when IYO turned heel in NXT it was making the rounds she supposedly was gonna get a theme done by Babymetal.
Did not happen sadly.

I am so sick of CATCHPHRASE! *insert looping trash beat with horns* themes It's tragic, because at the end of the day they're really just trying to replicate the one time this actually worked: Austin's glass shatter. Punk's static burst is close, and The Rock's If Ya Smell has become iconic in its own right, but man they have just never been able to replicate that specific "inject it directly in my veins" energy that comes from the glass shatter sfx.

Austin is not the only time this has worked... or even necessarily the first *Gong* they are chasing the idea of people being able to know exactly who is coming out by the first note... which is important for a wrestling theme since hte point is for people to cheer the face or boo the heel coming out... Since they've been rather bland in their intros for years the lazy way out is to just put a soundbite first.

I don't pay that much attention to current theme's but Liv's one seems to be Def Rebel and it's da f***ing bomb so I don't mind.š
If I was the sound mate I'd have all themes sound like Halloween Havoc '89!!!

They gave Pretty Deadly a previously unreleased Abba song. And it's one of the best themes in the company. The catchphrase intro even kinda works with it.

Just for you They gave Pretty Deadly a previously unreleased Abba song. And it's one of the best themes in the company. The catchphrase intro even kinda works with it. NGL I'd rather have ABBA make the new songs for wrestlers, at least they had some good songs (and some are awesome)

Jim Johnson's Magnum Opus. NGL though, it's far better than almost all of the the theme songs nowadays in the WWE lol.

Fightful reported WWE is aware of the criticism of Def Rebel by fans, and their contract reportedly runs out at the end of this year.

Whenever Joy Division's "New Dawn Fades" pops up on my phone, I always think it would be a great theme for a brooding heel.

The music has really sucked for most of the past decade or so. I do think Jim Johnson was pretty much fried by the end of his run, but maybe he can revitalize it after being gone for about 5 years now.
I don't dislike the idea of licensing some music for the big draws. I don't know what I would pair with whom though.

Some get Jim Johnston on the phone.
I'd love to hear his takes on some modern stars.
