Top 10 Greatest WWE Women's Entrance Songs Ever

Becky Lynch


The best pro wrestling themes are those that are immediately recognizable. “Celtic Invasion” lets the audience know immediately what’s up, and who’s about to dominate the ring. Becky Lynch has retained this awesome theme from her NXT steampunk days for good reason, after all. It still suits her character; an energetic punk rock piece that’s aggressive but also melodic. “Celtic Invasion” is also perfectly sing-a-long-able, which is always a good thing at a WWE live event or PLE. We’re always excited when The Man comes around, and “Celtic Invasion” serves as the clarion call for Becky Lynch to deliver the grappling goods.

Sable

The WWE recycles a lot of their themes, often tinkering with them to create different versions for different wrestlers. “Wildman” Marc Mero utilized the “Wild Cat” theme when he still retained ex-wife Sable as his manager and valet. The song eventually found its way to the latter as her popularity skyrocketed in the wake of Mero’s heel turn. This composition from legendary songwriter Jim Johnston strides the line between the ‘80s and ‘90s stylistically, and incorporates animal sounds that…well, sound like a wild cat. The tune almost sounds like a more upbeat version of Jake “The Snake” Roberts’ theme; a slinky and slithering jam that welcomes Sable to the ring.

AJ Lee

The much-missed AJ Lee employed something of an underrated entrance theme when she used to skip down to ringside. “Let’s Light It Up” plays it smart by opening up with the chorus, an electro-alternative earworm that immediately brightens the room. It’s a little poppy, a little punky and perfectly suited to the chaotic Lee’s ever-unpredictable persona. “Let’s Light It Up” is also snotty enough to work for both a face or heel, two sides that AJ Lee definitely played over the years. The song has also been so closely associated with her over the years, that the WWE hasn’t yet dared to repurpose it for any other superstar.

Trish Stratus

The evolution of Trish Stratus’ character from manager to Day 1 Hall of Fame talent necessitated a change in music. “Time to Rock and Roll” would go on to become a defining entrance theme for stratus, a tune that featured Lil Kim adding her own unique stamp and style. Kim’s opening giggle on the track works extremely well at letting the audience know what’s up, while the actual composition is a soulful hip-hop track with a driving backbeat. Some WWE entrance themes rely on guitar hooks or percussion to get their message across, but “Time to Rock & Roll” is a vocal driven tune with swagger that definitely works.

Sasha Banks

Every day was Boss Time back when “Sky’s the Limit” introduced Sasha Banks to the squared circle. It’s just a banger through and through; an electro-pop track with hip-hop vibes that nevertheless ROCKS with pure energy. “Sky’s the Limit” hypes things up with a short lead-in that drives home that super-memorable chorus to the masses. The song just feels like a big deal, like a true superstar is present within the WWE universe, and Sasha Banks definitely fit that bill to a T. Meanwhile, the group credited with its composition, CFO$, more than proved here that they could fill the shoes of Jim Johnston in the modern era.

Victoria

Sometimes, WWE’s habit of licensing other songs for their superstars strikes a bit of kismet with a certain performer. “All the Things She Said” from t.A.T.u. was a controversial one back then, and today almost feels as anachronistic as the WWE’s former treatment of their women’s roster. Yet, Victoria remained an outlier through all of this, a talented performer who could go in the ring, while also fitting into the male-focused gaze of the WWE circa the late ‘90s and 2000s. “All the Things She Said” is an undeniably catchy slice of electro pop from a bygone era, yet we wonder whether or not the company would still retain the tune if Victoria worked for them today.

Asuka

The Empress of Tomorrow deserves a theme song as badass as she is - and CFO certainly pulled through with that when creating this killer track. It was a pleasant surprise that her song didn’t lean too into the fact that Asuka is Japanese, as was the case with many of her puro contemporaries within the WWE in the past, because as we know that’s not her entire identity. She’s tough as nails, a technical wizard, and a fierce fighter - and what was certainly clear at the time was that she was indeed the future. Unfortunately, she did eventually replace the theme with the updated “You Can’t Hide” but for our money, “The Future” is far superior.

Lita

There’s a slow, tribal build to “Lovefurypassionenergy” by Boy Hits Car. This song was utilized for WWE superstar Lita as one of her themes during an era where WWE definitely embraced this sort of alternative rock. “Lovefurypassionenergy” seemed to fit Lita well, too, thanks to a TitanTron presentation that celebrated the superstar’s iconic personality and certifiable skills in the squared circle. It’s an entrance theme that’s certainly “of its time,” while also embracing its nostalgic time capsule status with grace.

Chyna

Jim Johnston eschewed a lot of instrumentation when it came to composing “Who I Am” for Chyna back in 1999. The tune instead features a vocal-led approach that speaks to Chyna’s dominance within the traditionally male-dominated landscape of old school WWE. “Who I Am” is both tough and feminine, boasting hard guitar riffs and a shouted vocal that will not be silenced. It underlines just how viable Chyna was competing against just about anybody in that ring, and also sold the character to an audience that seemed willing to accept this shift in the paradigm.

Rhea Ripley

The nu-metal era seemed to live again when Rhea Ripley debuted this collaboration with Motionless in White for her theme titled “Demon In Your Dreams.” The track wisely starts things out with a screamed catchphrase that sets up the theme before Motionless in White kickstart their guitars. The sung chorus is juxtaposed against the more aggressive verses in a way that’s formulaic, but not really in a bad way. Instead “Demon In Your Dreams” feels almost nostalgic for that bygone era of muscular WWE anthems that connected the brand to the then-current crop of metalcore and alternative artists.
