Dominik Mysterio is making headlines once again, but this time it’s not for his in-ring antics or his heel persona—it’s for his candid take on WWE’s current entrance music. The Judgment Day member has openly expressed his dissatisfaction with both his individual theme and the faction’s music, sparking fresh debate about WWE’s approach to musical identity in the modern era.
Mysterio’s Honest Confession
During a recent appearance on the Towers of Power podcast, Mysterio didn’t mince words when asked about his WWE entrance theme. “Oh god, I wish,” he said, referring to the possibility of a change. “That and the Judgment Day music. Good God. I don’t know how much I could say, but man, I’m going to go with Fuerza Regida, my boy JOP, Calle 24, and Adriel Favela. When have you ever heard corridos or traditional Mexican music as someone’s theme?”
Mysterio’s comments reflect a growing sentiment among WWE talent who feel their entrance music doesn’t match their personality or cultural background. The current theme for The Judgment Day, “Rulers of the World” by Def Rebel, replaced the original “The Other Side” by Alter Bridge earlier this year. While the new track was meant to signal a fresh chapter for the faction, it hasn’t resonated with all members.
A Growing Trend Among WWE Stars
Mysterio isn’t alone in his desire for a musical overhaul. Over the past few months, several WWE Superstars have requested changes to their entrance themes. Shinsuke Nakamura made a splash when he returned to SmackDown with his original theme, “The Rising Sun,” to a thunderous crowd reaction. The Street Profits and Kairi Sane have also been given back their CFO$ themes, signaling a possible shift in WWE’s music policy.
According to a WWE insider, “There’s been a lot of internal discussion about entrance music lately. Some of the newer tracks just don’t have the same impact as the classics. When Nakamura came out with ‘The Rising Sun,’ it was like a time machine for the fans. That’s the kind of energy WWE wants to recapture.”
The Impact of Music on a Superstar’s Persona
Entrance music is more than just background noise—it’s a crucial part of a wrestler’s identity. For Mysterio, whose heritage is a key part of his character, the lack of culturally relevant music is a missed opportunity. “When have you ever heard corridos or traditional Mexican music as someone’s theme?” he asked, highlighting the absence of diversity in WWE’s musical choices.
The insider added, “Dominik’s point is valid. WWE has a global roster, but the music often feels generic. Bringing in artists like Fuerza Regida or Adriel Favela could not only enhance his character but also appeal to a broader audience.”
Judgment Day’s Musical Evolution
The Judgment Day’s theme has undergone several changes since the faction’s inception. Originally, the group used “The Other Side” by Alter Bridge, a track that became synonymous with Edge’s leadership. When Edge was ousted and the group rebranded, WWE switched to “Rulers of the World.” However, the new theme hasn’t achieved the same iconic status.
At a recent NXT Live event in Chicago, JD McDonagh made his entrance to “The Other Side,” suggesting that WWE might be reconsidering its decision. “It remains to be seen if this change will be replicated on Raw going forward,” the insider noted. “But the fact that they’re testing it out is a sign that they’re listening to feedback.”
The Broader Implications for WWE
Mysterio’s comments are part of a larger conversation about WWE’s music production in the Triple H era. Critics have argued that the company’s themes have become too generic, lacking the distinctiveness that made past tracks memorable. “There’s a lot of talk behind the scenes about bringing in outside artists or even letting Superstars have more input,” the insider revealed. “The goal is to make the music feel more personal and impactful.”
Fan Reaction and Future Possibilities
Fans have responded enthusiastically to the idea of Mysterio using corridos or traditional Mexican music. Social media has been abuzz with suggestions for artists and potential themes. “Hearing Dominik Mysterio don’t really like his theme song is crazy,” tweeted one fan, reflecting the widespread support for his request.
As WWE continues to evolve, the role of entrance music will remain a hot topic. Whether the company will embrace Mysterio’s vision or stick to its current approach remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the voices of the Superstars are being heard, and the demand for more authentic, culturally relevant music is growing louder.
Conclusion
Dominik Mysterio’s candid remarks about his WWE theme have ignited a broader discussion about the importance of music in professional wrestling. As more Superstars push for changes, WWE faces a pivotal moment in shaping its musical identity. For Mysterio, the dream of walking to the ring with corridos or traditional Mexican music may not be far off—if the company is willing to listen.
