'FIRE DEF REBEL!': 4 WWE entrance themes that fans agree missed the mark
Image via WWE WWE fans made their voices heard loud and clear on this week's episode of NXT, chanting 'Fire Def Rebel' after Jordynne Grace walked out to a newly composed entrance theme. While Grace went on to win her match and qualify for the #1 Contender's Fatal Four-Way, the reaction to her entrance music sparked fresh outrage online - with many fans slamming WWE's long-time music group, Def Rebel, for what they call a growing list of 'misses. ' Here are four WWE entrance themes that fans believe failed to deliver the hype: 1. Jordynne Grace - NXT (2025) — FadeAwayMedia (@FadeAwayMedia) The most recent example came on June 17 during NXT, when Jordynne Grace debuted a new entrance track ahead of her match against Lola Vice. While Grace's performance inside the ring was praised, her new theme left fans confused - and, frankly, irritated. The chants of 'Fire Def Rebel!' echoed through the Performance Center, with social media echoing the sentiment. Many pointed out the disconnect between the high-impact persona of 'Big Momma Pump' and the low-energy, generic track she was assigned. 2. Keith Lee - RAW (2020) When Keith Lee moved up to the main roster in 2020, fans were thrilled - until they heard his new music. Gone was the bombastic, self-rapped anthem that helped define his NXT run. Replaced with a softer, heavily-produced track by Def Rebel, the change drew heavy backlash. WWE eventually tweaked the theme, but many still feel it never recovered the original magic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Instead, fans were greeted with a bland, generic rock track that failed to reflect her energy. The mismatch between character and theme quickly made her music one of the most skipped tracks on WWE's official Spotify list. 4. Shayna Baszler - RAW (2021) Shayna Baszler once had a theme that perfectly matched her intimidating persona. But after Def Rebel reworked her entrance in 2021, fans noticed a glaring drop in impact. The slow-paced, drum-heavy remix stripped away the raw energy that had made her walkouts must-watch moments. While WWE often evolves its soundscape, the reaction to these misfires shows fans aren't afraid to speak out. Whether it leads to changes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the music matters just as much as the mayhem.

The rumours also stated that he could potentially join the SmackDown brand upon his debut. While the details of his debut are still emerging, he is undoubtedly a part of the WWE roster. Under Solo Sikoa's ruthless leadership, his arrival marks the latest muscle added to The Bloodline's growing empire, as reported by Forbes. After his surprise departure from New Japan Pro-Wrestling in late April, where he claimed to be retiring, Cobb's WWE debut was already in motion behind the scenes. Despite his retirement claims, reports had circulated for weeks suggesting Cobb was WWE-bound, and plans were quietly set for him to join Friday Night SmackDown. His shocking appearance at Backlash confirmed the rumours, signalling the start of a new chapter for the powerhouse, as reported by Cultaholic.

Just when Knight turned his attention to Sikoa, he was met with a devastating punch from Cobb, who sealed Fatu's victory as he unleashed a vicious attack. However, Fatu looked perplexed upon the debuting wrestler at Backlash. It was hinted that Cobb was recruited by Sikoa while Fatu did not know of this. He was also spotted not celebrating with Sikoa and Cobb after the match.
