Keith Lee & 9 Other Wrestlers Who Had Their Entrance Music Made Worse
Keith Lee recently made his main roster debut and he did so with several changes, which included his entrance music being altered. Unfortunately, this wasn't for the better as the music was made considerably worse and gained a lot of negative responses from the WWE Universe online.
However, the Limitless One isn't the first wrestler to have had his theme music changed over the years. WWE constantly likes to tweak things to keep the presentation as fresh as possible. However, while some wrestlers are given fantastic new songs, others have their music made considerably worse, just like the former NXT Champion.
10 Keith Lee
The most recent change of entrance music in WWE history is Keith Lee and it was one that was poorly received, as previously mentioned. His original song from NXT really suited his personality perfectly, with Lee himself doing a lot of the lyrics.
However, instead of enhancing things, WWE just made it much worse. His theme was incredibly generic and sounded like a create-your-own song from a video game rather than something that would be suited to a world-class athlete.
9 Fandango
When Fandango first arrived in WWE, he had one of the best entrance songs of all time. His music was incredible and it proved to be very popular, with people dancing along to it all around the world which helped make him a well-known name.
However, WWE opted to change that for no real reason at all, which took away his biggest strength. Thankfully, WWE has since put him with Tyler Breeze and together, they have an excellent entrance song.
8 Drew McIntyre
The WWE Champion has a really good theme song right now, but the fact that his current theme is worse than his original shows how great that was. His music really was tremendous originally and it never should have been altered.
His theme just suited him perfectly. It had some great lyrics, a slow build, and then really kicked in and felt like a true champion's song, which is why it should be brought back, with Drew himself even admitting he would like it to return.
7 John Cena
It's hard to get much better than John Cena's original "Word Life" entrance song that worked with his Dr. Thuganomics character. While the song he uses now is incredibly iconic, that is only because he's spent so many years using it.
However, even though people are aware of what it is, that doesn't mean it's not a downgrade. The original song was far superior and that's why fans always go crazy any time WWE uses it.
6 Steve Austin
Steve Austin has one of the most iconic entrance songs of all time, with the glass shattering music being one that always guarantees an insane pop. But when WWE turned Austin heel, the company felt new music was needed.
It was not needed. The music that he was given instead was wildly generic and sounded really rushed to be put together, which didn't do him any favors.
5 Shinsuke Nakamura
WWE tends to enjoy adding lyrics to as many theme songs as they possibly can, even when it's not needed. That was the case with Shinsuke Nakamura who had an absolutely perfect entrance song.
However, WWE felt the need to mess around with things and decided to change some of his music, adding lyrics to it. It stopped fans singing along and ended that engagement with the audience, which was a huge shame.
4 Sheamus
The Celtic Warrior is actually a rare example of an entrance song being better when having tons of lyrics. His original WWE entrance song was superb and really got audiences pumped up with that big fight feel.
While his new music isn't horrendous, it is certainly a big step down from what was a really catchy and fitting entrance song that suited his gimmick much more.
3 Shorty G
As if his name being changed to Shorty G wasn't bad enough, WWE then went on to change his theme music and made it considerably weaker. His original song which came from his American Alpha music was far stronger.
WWE changed things up and simply made it seem like a generic piece of music that is easily forgettable and one that nobody cares about or pops for when he arrives.
2 The Undertaker
For people who were really big fans of the American Badass version of The Undertaker, then they might have enjoyed bringing in a little Limp Bizkit. However, his classic entrance music is one of the greatest of all time.
There was no need to change that and while it did go along with his new gimmick, there's no doubt that this alteration was a much weaker version than what had been previously.
1 Kane
Much like his brother, Kane also suffered from having his entrance music altered, with WWE changing it to the point where it no longer suited his character. His original entrance music was brilliant, it was eerie and creepy and worked with the mysterious element of his character.
However, when WWE decided to stuff the song with lyrics to seemingly make it more commercial, that element of mystery was totally killed, which was a huge shame.
