AJ Styles himself wanted the theme change. He went to Adam Pearce who relayed the info to Triple H and he approved it. The song is actually by Stevie Stone and Styles himself helped write and compose it. So Def Rebel had nothing to do with it. And Styles as pretty much earned to right to have some creative control.
Listen I liked his old theme, but Def Rebel actually did something right and made it even more badass with the orchestra and the darker tones. Def Rebel misses a lot, but when they hit, they HIT!
24:56 In her defense, I don’t know how recent it was but I think it was after she got called up to Smackdown she did a interview talking about the change to her theme song and she said that she wanted to change it to that because she personally likes it.
We need music licensing to return. Also AJ switched songs because HE wanted it. He simply got sick of hearing the same song over and over again. He can do what he wants.
Apollo and Andrade always had thier taglines in the beginning. Also something interesting with Bron, even when he got the new Smackdown theme, he was still using his old theme in nxt + a mix version of it with Corbin's theme. I'd actually say Def Rebel has a lot of good songs but they're mainly in NXT.
I've recently searched Producer: Ali Dee Theodore and Producer: Anthony Mirabella and there could be a reason for them sucking and that is solely on Mirabella being in head producer on 90% of the WWE Formation of the team. But would swapping the head around to Dee change the generic output thing completely around though for the better to prevent them getting their P45.
Dakota Kai's "Kombat" is an A++ When it comes to Drew, I prefer his NXT "Gallantry" theme over Broken Dreams and his current Gallows and Anderson's "Omen in the Sky" was a classic Shayna Baszler's "Loyalty is Everything" NXT theme should've never went away
Considering we never got Roman Reigns v Lashley one on one for the title I like to lister to their songs back to back and just imagine the chaos. Both are A++
Def Rebel, sure, bad, uninspired stretch of time now, but they also had INCREDIBLE bangers. I think they deserve a chance, because they screwd up multiple people once, they can reedem themselves
Def Rebel needs to get the boot - it's the biggest flaw on the current product, he does have some okay ones but the majority are just "Default Unknown Player Character"
Bro theory new theme sounds like a kidz bop trap remix. So unnecessary to change his. Like I’m not even tryna make it a meme, but genuially bottles and champagne woulda been way better 😭😭
Literally I heard him say it’s a banger and I was like 😮 wdym a banger. Her def rebel theme is, in my opinion, the worst def rebel theme and downgrade of all time.
My top 5 Entrances theme's of all time 1. The undertaker 2.Stone cold steve austin the old version he used between 1996-1998 very similar to the one he uses now but a bit more bass makes it 1500 times better. 3.Jake The snake roberts 4.The ultimate warrior 5. Jeff jarrett's theme he used in wwf between 1993-1995 find me a more catchy theme i'll wait.
Def Rebel should go on Vacation or something just get rid of them, I don't like to call someone out so they get released but we need a change and that ASAP
A quick Google search says Def Rebel started working with WWE in 2020. Becky Lynch has had her song forever, and Bianca had the same song ever since she was called up to the main roster. I do believe Santi is crediting some of CFO$ music to Def Rebel.
Hey man, I appreciate your content. It would delight me more if there were also an iconic piece of every song included so that the video would not only be full of talking. That way I can feel your arguments better as well.
If you haven’t heard Right to Censor’s theme, listen to it and listen to it LOUD it slaps. One of the greatest things that ever graced this earth (that is until Santi oiled up 😩)
I know he’s not in the WWE anymore, but shout-out to Heath Slater/ 3 man bands theme. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t heard it or don’t remember it
Def Rebel has been quite good with NXT themes for the most part. The best ones are Ilja Dragunov (do not change his theme for the love of all that is sacred), Baron Corbin (fucking BANGER), Dijak (fits so perfectly to his character) and Joe Gacy (has Bray Wyatt Live in Fear vibes). Other good ones are Lyra Valkyria, Oba Femi, Nathan Frazer, Axiom, Roxanne Perez (both her original one and the new heel remix), Karmen Petrovic, Lola Vice and Fallon Henley. Some are good but do suffer from the "shout out at the start" symptom, like Cora Jade and Jacy Jayne. And while Candice and Indi's indiviual themes are kinda meh, their tag theme kicks ass.
So, no love for NXT?! Alright, I'll show that love then! Whoop That Trick, Dragunov, D' Angelo, Corbin, Roxanne, Carmelo, Joe Gacy, Lola Vice, Dijak, Ridge Holland and Wes Lee - all of them have bangers 🔥 I almost forgot Oba Femi' theme! Woof 💪🏻
AJ Styles' theme is UNDERRATED AF in my opinion. i feel like we gotta hear it HQ cuz it ain't out on streaming platforms yet and we can really grade it from there but i like the new theme a lot. feel like his presentation needs to get a little more intense to truly fit his new "gimmick" (if we can even call it that) but yeah for me personally that new AJ Styles theme is fire
They said the PG Era was officially over. They need to say the Def Rebel Era is officially over too. I'm guessing that handful of bangers they made were heavily supervised or something.
I like jd’S theme because it reminds me of tron a little bit. I don’t know what they call it but it’s that electronic piece of the theme that reminds of tron. Just my opinion.
