00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the catchiest and most
00:13dynamic theme songs to sound the entrance for the WWE Women's Roster.
00:22Number 10.
00:23Celtic Invasion – Becky Lynch The best pro wrestling themes are those that
00:28are immediately recognizable.
00:30Celtic Invasion lets the audience know immediately what's up and who's about to dominate
00:35the ring.
00:41Becky Lynch has retained this awesome theme from her NXT steampunk days for a good reason.
00:47It still suits her character, an energetic punk rock piece that's aggressive but also
00:52melodic.
00:57Celtic Invasion is also perfectly sing-alongable, which is always a good thing at a WWE live
01:03event or PLE.
01:04We're always excited when The Man comes around and Celtic Invasion serves as the clarion
01:10call for Becky Lynch to deliver the grappling goods.
01:19Number 9.
01:20Wildcat – Sable The WWE recycles a lot of their themes, often
01:25tinkering with them to create different visions for different wrestlers.
01:29Wildman Mark Merrow utilised the Wildcat theme when he still retained ex-wife Sable as his
01:36manager and valet.
01:41The song eventually found its way to the latter as her popularity skyrocketed in the wake
01:47of Merrow's heel turn.
01:50This composition from legendary songwriter Jim Johnston strides the line between the
01:5580s and 90s stylistically and incorporates animal sounds that, well, sound like a wildcat.
02:02The tune almost sounds like a more upbeat version of Jake the Snake Roberts' theme,
02:06a slinky and slithering gem that welcomes Sable to the ring.
02:17Number 8.
02:18Let's Light It Up – AJ Lee The much-missed AJ Lee employed something
02:23of an underrated entrance theme when she used to skip down to ringside.
02:31Let's Light It Up plays it smart by opening up with the chorus, an electro-alternative
02:36earworm that immediately brightens the room.
02:39It's a little poppy, a little punky, and perfectly suited to the Chaotic Lee's ever-unpredictable
02:45persona.
02:46Let's Light It Up is also snotty enough to work for both a face or heel, two sides
02:56that AJ Lee definitely played over the years.
02:59The song has also been so closely associated with her over the years that the WWE hasn't
03:05dared to repurpose it for any other superstar.
03:13Number 7.
03:14Time to Rock and Roll – Trish Stratus The evolution of Trish Stratus' character
03:19from manager to Day One Hall of Fame talent necessitated a change in music.
03:30Time to Rock and Roll would go on to become a defining entrance theme for Stratus, a tune
03:35that featured Lil' Kim adding her own unique stamp and style.
03:39Kim's opening giggle on the track works extremely well at letting the audience know
03:44what's up, while the actual composition is a soulful hip-hop track with a driving backbeat.
03:57Some WWE entrance themes rely on guitar hooks or percussion to get their message across,
04:02but Time to Rock and Roll is a vocal-driven tune with swagger that definitely works.
04:14Number 6.
04:15Sky's the Limit – Sasha Banks Every day was boss time back when Sky's the
04:19Limit introduced Sasha Banks to the squared circle.
04:27It's just a banger through and through, an electro-pop track with hip-hop vibes that
04:33nevertheless rocks with pure energy.
04:36Sky's the Limit hypes things up with a short lead-in that drives home the super-memorable
04:41chorus to the masses.
04:49The song just feels like a big deal, like a true superstar is present within the WWE
04:54universe, and Sasha Banks definitely fit that bill to a T.
04:59Meanwhile, the group credited with its composition, CFO, more than proved here that they could
05:04fill the shoes of Jim Johnston in the modern era.
05:17Number 5.
05:18All The Things She Said – Victoria Sometimes WWE's habit of licensing other
05:24songs for their superstars strikes a bit of a kismet with a certain performer.
05:32All The Things She Said from Tattoo was a controversial one back then, and today almost
05:37feels as anachronistic as the WWE's former treatment of their women's roster.
05:42Yet, Victoria remained an outlier through all of this, a talented performer who could
05:47go in the ring while also fitting into the male-focused gaze of the WWE circa the late
05:5290s and 2000s.
05:59All The Things She Said is an undeniably catchy slice of electro-pop from a bygone era, yet
06:05we wonder whether or not the company would still retain the tune if Victoria worked for
06:09them today.
06:14Number 4.
06:15The Future – Oscar The Empress of Tomorrow deserves a theme song
06:19as badass as she is, and CFO certainly pulled through with that when creating this killer
06:25track.
06:32It was a pleasant surprise that her song didn't lean too into the fact that Oscar is Japanese,
06:37as was the case with many of her pro-contemporaries within the WWE in the past, because as we
06:43know that's not her entire identity.
06:51She's tough as nails, a technical wizard and a fierce fighter, and what was certainly
06:58clear at the time was that she was indeed the future.
07:02Unfortunately she did eventually replace the theme with the updated You Can't Hide, but
07:07for our money, The Future is far superior.
07:17Number 3.
07:18Love Fury Passion Energy – Lita As a slow, tribal build to Love Fury Passion
07:23Energy by Boy Hits Car, this song was utilised for WWE superstar Lita as one of her themes
07:30during an era where WWE definitely embraced this sort of alternative rock.
07:41Love Fury Passion Energy seemed to fit Lita well too, thanks to a Titantron presentation
07:46that celebrated the superstar's iconic personality and certifiable skill in the squared circle.
07:56It's an entrance theme that's certainly of its time, while also embracing its nostalgic
08:01time capsule status with grace.
08:07Number 2.
08:08Who I Am – Chyna Jim Johnston eschewed a lot of instrumentation
08:13when it came to composing Who I Am for Chyna back in 1999.
08:25The tune instead features a vocal-led approach that speaks to Chyna's dominance within
08:30the traditionally male-dominated landscape of old-school WWE.
08:34Who I Am is both tough and feminine, boasting hard guitar riffs and a shouted vocal that
08:40will not be silenced.
08:48It underlines just how viable Chyna was competing against just about anybody in that ring, and
08:54also sold the character to an audience that seemed willing to accept this shift in the
08:58paradigm.
09:25Number 1.
09:26Demon In Your Dreams – Rhea Ripley The nu-metal era seemed to live again when
09:32Rhea Ripley debuted this collaboration with Motionless in White for her theme titled Demon
09:38In Your Dreams.
09:48This track wisely starts things out with a screamed catchphrase that sets up the theme
09:52before Motionless in White kickstart their guitars.
09:56The sung chorus is juxtaposed against the more aggressive verses in a way that's formulaic,
10:01but not really in a bad way.
10:07Instead, Demon In Your Dreams feels almost nostalgic for that bygone era of muscular
10:19WWE anthems that connected the brand to the then current crop of metalcore and alternative
10:25artists.
