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.

Hot take: AJ’s new them besides the “You don’t want none” is hard af. People just hate it bc his previous theme was beloved.

[@jaybee4288]

Yeah I honestly don’t mind Tiffany’s new theme and think the main reason it gets hate is because people liked the old one. People are adverse to change to the point any change is bad.

[@Nobody-bp5wh]

That's the problem, though. When making new music for a wrestler, you have to have your finger on the pulse of the people. If a song is loved, you need to figure out why and apply that to the new theme. Of course, if the character is changing drastically, you also need to reflect that change. Def rebel seems to have missed the first part of that memo when they signed on. While there are some songs they've made that are legit ass, a lot of them are fine, but have completely lost everything about the previous theme that made it fit to a character.

I think they should open theme songs up to more bands, like they used to do. Downstait is one of my favorite wrestling theme bands. Ziggler’s theme was by them as well as his current Wanted Man theme. Miz’s theme. Fucking Cody Rhoades’ theme. They also made a remix of Cardona’s theme in his later Zack Ryder days as well as his current Indie God theme which is pretty good. They’ve proven that they can make great songs. I think more bands making songs is what they should do and have Jim Johnston oversee and executively produce them (or something along those lines). I don’t care. Def Rebel just needs to go

[@justinlynch3]

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.

Jeff jarrett's theme he used in wwf between 1993-1995 find me a more catchy theme i'll wait.

[@TrocaTheNero]

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.
