spoke to today’s modern-day WWE stars LA Knight, Damian Priest, Karrion Kross, and Shayna Baszler about what it takes to make a great entrance theme and the origin of their own.I don’t know if I can put my finger on it exactly but for me personally, I know I want strong drums — which, if you listened to the last couple of weeks, there’s been a little bit of a tweak to “Knight Vision,” because I asked them to bring the drums up a bit. It’s going to give me a different feel when I walk out there.
I was instrumental in putting that together and I wasn’t in the studio — I wanted to be — but basically, when I first came in, it was like, “Hey. Look. I’ve made my own music in the past. Here’s what I made. Here’s what I like and it’s based on this.” Then, they gave me [“Knight Vision”] out of it. It was like, “OK. That’s good.” It works because if you don’t feel that music, if you just pick any old random [song], man, you’re taking the air out of the tires before you even take off.
I think Triple H has the magic touch with that. He took my original concepts and my visions and he just kind of scored it with the in-house music group. That’s kind of where that music came from. It was a very cool and organic way we came to that. And with the visual presentation, we collaboratively came up with that. How we moved down to the ring was something that I came up with my wife Scarlett. The background, lighting and music was very much Triple H.
“God of Thunder” was a song that I used as an entrance. But I needed something a lot heavier, so I found this band calledthat did a cover of “God of Thunder,” and I came out to their song — their version of it. When I was ping-ponging with WWE about a new entrance song, I sent them this track, and if you listen to this EXCRUCIATION version of “God of Thunder” and the song “Limb By Limb,” you’ll see where it comes from. It’s very much inspired by that.
You know, Edge — I never really got into Edge’s music, until maybe the last six months and I was in the gym and it came on a shuffle. I was like, “Oh. This hits.” There’s so many options out there. You’re talking “Million Dollar Man,” “D-Generation X,” “No Chance in Hell,” anything from the Attitude Era you can take. Those things were just on point. Everything was hitting. Growing up I wanted to know who was doing all the music and the entrances.
