TIER LIST: WWE Def Rebel Entrance Themes

[@stopgof1]

That Gary KZbin Theme is better than any WWE entrance theme ever made

[@LennyHenrysDorsalCavity]

BLASHPEMY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER! I will not sit idly by, and watch you besmirch the theme of RTC!… TO THE TOWER WITH YOU! 😂

[@darrenyu7961]

meanwhile I am greatness:

[@anthonyperez7428]

Best theme since that AI went nuclear on Hogan.

[@indigocrow8385]

I like Roman's theme, but if he's doing a save, the heels will have enough time to finish the beatdown and leave before the intro ends.

[@P0YSiN]

When Gary KZbins are Gary Youtubing, the world is a better place ❤

[@JroAndLachlan]

You guys were very kind considering how critical you guys have been.

[@derekneaz-nibur407]

Ross, why do people get on you about saying kavorka? You do you mate!

[@ShieTar_]

Because it's a pretend-Latvian word made up in an American TV show too lazy to do any research on the country they wanted to make an episode about.

[@calclark3995]

Remember the old days when guys like David Otunga had a great theme song

[@KarthofEarth]

you mean the one he took from Justin Gabriel?

[@World_Championship_CAWs]

Ross casually dropping a Steve Stone reference popped me

[@RatboyWrestling]

Is there enough room in the bin for all of them?

[@timothygraham4304]

I mean, they aren't being ranked among other entrance themes, which would likely have them all in the bin, but a bin can be made bigger if they were to do so.

[@broodbynature]

The Gary KZbin theme is a revelation. It's at least high-quality CFO$. Also, sincere question, was it made with the same app Sam used to make the themes for the AI episode of Raw??🤔

[@aaronhurst4379]

I think it might have been

[@madson10]

"I Am Greatness" is cool bro wtf

[@ggguNeck]

It's......... Cinematic 🤷🏾‍♂️...... and that's good. But HEAD OF THE TABLE?!👀

[@Psycho-Crusher693]

Cultaholic gets in the bin for that

[@a_depressed.tigersfan]

It’s is an objectively worse version of his last theme. So if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Just for changing it, it deserves the bin.

[@P3TER_Official23]

​@@a_depressed.tigersfan no, it is better

[@gavinchambliss8576]

@@P3TER_Official23it’s a fart bro

[@Charlie-cl9dk]

Honorable mention for joe gacys theme. It at least lovey lovey lovey

[@MrHbkfan17]

A few songs were missing, most notably Rhea Ripley’s, Raquel, JD McDonagh and others. I personally would put AJ’s new theme in lovelyx3, but if there was hesitance in putting it there, just make another tier like “good” because if it’s not lovely for you guys, then it’s “good”

[@SIGuy7480]

burn the ships is fantastic one o the best WWE themes in years

[@symbioticsorrows3001]

Been waiting a long time for this! And he's got a theme song! Its AI get in the bin slop! Tear that Def Rebel apart

[@towmater1287]

The most perfect thing to start watching after you’ve finished a joint. Bravo Gary KZbin. Bravo

[@aneurinread2048]

This has been very very kind to def rebel i think id only have maybe 5 in the best and the bin would be a lot more full but not complaining because the more gary youtubing we get the better

[@Snake-i8x]

That Gary KZbin into has to be Ross’ podcast hall of fame nomination for this week

[@broceratops1337]

51:47 OOOOF i love you both but hard disagree. The guitars make Knight's new intro more generic. His original was excellent because they pulled sounds from the west coast G Funk era sound. I C O N I C of the LA culture. The rock version is just so... Wrestling guy... Generic. Mid. Basic. i.e opposite of LA KNIGHT YEAAAHHHH

[@tedjomuljono3052]

nah, the only thing i'd want back is the lyrics "i wanna see you diiiie"

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Now I'm 5 minutes in and I can already tell I'm going to wish we could hear a few seconds of each theme as a refresher, honestly I'm having big trouble recalling what these first 3 sound like even with the wonderful descriptions being given. 😄👍

[@darthsimian2196]

Jade’s theme is based on The X-Men cartoon. The whole Storm connection.

[@Randomguy1ism]

To this day I think one of my biggest hot takes in Wrestling is that I actually like the newer Creed Bros theme more than their Diamond Mine version.

[@AdamNRG316]

Didn't realise Tom and Ross had recently lost a predictions video. This is a bit of a cruel punishment lads even for your standards.

[@KennySmithKnees]

Austin Theory’s theme reminds of a bunch lip smacks, snorts and throat clears. I’d rather listen to someone begging me for money and how they can’t even afford to pay utilities. I listen to your videos while I watch my wife play Skyrim. Big ups

[@ragnarok2354]

To correct Gary KZbin for I am a smartass, technically Roman's new theme was actually debuted at Wrestlemania 41 Night 2, if you rewatch the broadcast, its the theme he comes out to when he faces Cody in Bloodline Rules. I was there that night, and the ceremony and sheer badassery behind it made it easily one of the best.

[@ZP23]

Gary is back!

[@scottanderson9887]

So long Def Rebel, you won't be missed at all

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

49:35 Yeah that song is totally Depeche Mode, I haven't heard that in super long. Just unlocked memories from a time I had apparently stuffed away for some reason. Think I'm gonna just lock those back up for now after I go listen to the song if I remember by the time I finish this video. 😅👍

[@Csquared14]

Shout out to Dijaks theme was a badass beat that may have came off generic initially but suited his entrance and vigilante persona

[@brandonsmith5974]

Roman's original Head of the Table theme is the best Def Rebel theme... period! Most of the others are 💩

[@aveorsomethingidk1670]

me personally i'd have to go with seth rollin's visionary theme

[@brandonsmith5974]

@@aveorsomethingidk1670 that's a great theme. Even better when you're there live.

[@The1AndOnlyGoldenboy]

I'm not huge into the AI nonsense, but... when it's stuff like that Gary KZbin theme, it's alright.

[@biggreenmantis5639]

aj's new theme goes straight into the bin for me.

[@YourDadYoda]

Jacob Fatu’s theme just needs some Samoan rap in it and it’d be top tier

[@Shamelesslilly]

Love the theme song. You are amazing Gary.

[@aaronhurst4379]

Love the shout-out to Javelin by Rizzle Kicks, indeed a great song that would suit a FIFA game

[@Redders1989]

That song you're looking for when talking about Grayson Waller is Mann & 50 Cent's "Buzzin'", but it samples Nu Shooz's "I Can't Wait".

[@RobPlaysGamesTime]

This whole list made me realize how much I miss Jim Johnston. Def Rebel made everything sound the same. At events like the Royal rumble I would have to wait till I saw who it was to even know who is coming down to the ring, shaking my head.

[@redneckreviews3016]

That's crazy this video and what you said came out today. I was listening to some classic WWE themes and comparing them too def rebels stuff. And basically def rebels were generic wrestler music. A lot of the old school stuff was cheesy but it had personality

[@NathanArmstrong-x9q]

This channel is using AI in the absolute best way. Pleased as punch to be a Patron.

[@jamesradeljr3486]

What an opening!!!! Absolutely love it

[@donkeyshlong5727]

Wow that was worth it just for the intro 😊

[@SomeOfTheJuice]

I think Andrew is totally right about how a lot of these that don't really work would work if they used real instruments rather than MIDI. So many of the classics were either songs performed by already existing bands (Metalingus, The Game) or were played by Jim Johnston, and it's really not that hard to tell the difference between a MIDI guitar and a real guitar. Ones that do that, especially when taking stuff from older versions of their themes and using MIDI instead of real instruments like previously, suffer massively.

[@undriftedpop788]

Andrew saying Bron Breakkers theme sound Korn-esc might just be the greatest thing ive ever heard

[@kristinashetler9633]

This must be the most difficult tier list.

[@Wanys123]

Yeah... I didn't know I needed Ross singing Ke$ha... but here we are.

[@yousufseedat7736]

Gary youtube nice to see you again

[@bifferstaff21]

1:01:08 buzzing by Mann is the name of the song I think fellas 😂

[@paulpacman6279]

yeah i instantly knew it xD

[@oninineone]

Yup, samples I Can't Wait by Nu Shooz.

[@aaronhurst4379]

Yesssss

[@MrHighlifewest]

Please have this be the permanent intro for tier lists moving forward 🤣

[@llistoolegit]

41:00 Ross is truly light on his feet. Nice flip!

[@drexeldragon1723]

This video goes in the bin for putting Roman's new theme (which debuted at Mania not SummerSlam) in the bin.

[@broceratops1337]

The highest of highs, but the lowest of lows. Rest in peace poor Def Rebel. We hardly knew yee

[@rjgoodman4056]

Glad to see Lyra's theme get some respect. I personally would have placed it slightly higher.

[@BS23X]

Gary youtube and ai is a dangerous combo

[@espurrthestupididiot2405]

AJ's Phenomenal theme is so good, it makes You Don't Want None worse than it really is.

[@asdf4evr]

Let this be the reminder that Def Rebel is actually pretty good. And mind you, they didn't even go over NXT themes (aside from call-ups). Tony D'Angelo, Trick Williams, Oba Femi, Je'Von Evans, Tatum Paxley, Fatal Influence, Fallon Henley, Damien Priest's first theme (Infamy), and other wonderful NXT themes were left off this list. As to Roman's new theme, I would put it in the Alright category because it isn't *bad* so much as *misused*. Because while that particular track did debut at Summerslam, it was based on his song from Wrestlemania, a stage sufficiently GRAND for such an "epic" version with the million intros. If it was a one-off, it'd be wonderful. Cut the intros, and it's slightly more heroic.

[@P3TER_Official23]

We will get the loudest pop in the universe when we hear that "Bloody hell, that's Gary" during the 2025 Royal Rumble

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

I think Jade Cargill's WWE theme kinda sounds like a mix of her AEW theme and a generic early 90's X-Men theme. It's like someone playing the X-Men theme with different effects turned on and they keep getting muscle spasms in their hands while playing it. 😄👍

[@EVERYGOODNAMEISTAKEN]

Very accurate ranking

[@Jason-Fratto]

As a Marylander, I appreciate the Key Bridge joke. Ross is king.

[@rogueclown]

...i'd have put Solo and maaaaaaaaybe Baron Corbin over even the old Tribal Chief theme, but that one is still a darn solid choice.

[@beardsy1743]

Good list other than AJ's new theme which GOES IN THE BIN imo

[@archangel2015]

I love how they took the piss out a def rebel theme song before starting the video proper.

[@kristinashetler9633]

Omg Gary KZbin this is an amazing intro!

[@bgonzalez902]

Epic intro. Reminds me of the old wtf intros

[@JordanK14]

At least Def Rebel made 1 good theme before they left and gave Gary this banger!!

[@P3TER_Official23]

Fun fact that no one cares about: Here's the list of def rebel themes I added to the Genius (lyrics finder site) website [in order of release dates with latest first]: - Made Me Stronger (Sonya Deville) - 10 Beats of the Bodhrán (Sheamus) - A Storm Is Coming (Jade Cargill) - Reigning Warriors (Kabuki Warriors) - The Lyoness (Nikkita Lyons) - It's Our Moment (DIY) - It Is My Time (Dirty Dom) - Triumph (Lyra Valkyria) I'm still working on Still The Baddest (Damage CTRL's current theme), even though I already have def rebel brainrot

[@jessewaltz2508]

God, that intro was Jim Johnson tier

[@bukkij40]

Low blow Ross. Can we wait until the bridge is rebuilt before we make any more jokes about the key bridge? We still struggling over here. I'll retort with this... PGTips, It's Mediocre at best

[@aaronhurst4379]

That's fair

[@BoonCasino]

Perfect intro!

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Oh Wow. 49:35 I'm actually way more familiar with the Lacuna Coil version of Enjoy The Silence. 😄👍

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Haa! 5 seconds in and I already love Ross's new theme, although it'd probably suck if Def Rebel made it. 😆👍

[@chasemeyer5994]

Crazy Roman take but agree with the rest

[@kristo2037]

I really like Nia's new theme. It's so much more pleasant and badass than the jingle she used to have

[@earlclark6002]

I wonder how much say so the wrestlers have in their music. I can’t imagine many of them recently actually like their songs

[@serp3n1]

That Gary Youtub3 intro felt like a mileatone for the channel My only qish was that their name cards would pop up Gary KZbin too

[@brendanjames8234]

1:01:00 Are you sure you’re not thinking of I Can’t Wait by Nu Shooz? That one’s pushing 40!

[@JennyLeggs]

Glad to see Russ and Dingle have patched things up since GuessThe-Gate

[@wolvgrizz7763]

Carlitos theme reminds me of the 2014 Brazil world cup.

[@Stromatolites151]

Gary KZbin theme straight in the “The Best”

[@Mr_Leo_DS]

Sonya's theme might be generic in the sense that there are a good amount of similar songs, but it is the greatest of it's kind, it is legit one of my favorite women's themes right now Also I Am Greatness at the bin is bull crap. It shouldn't be legally allowed to be lower than alright. Carlito's theme is great. It's not as good as the old one but it still fits him. Nostalgia is speaking for you.

[@ogjohnnydeath]

The return of gary 🎉

[@wolframiumlavasioth]

UP THE GARY KZbinING!!!

[@michaelpotter9145]

The new Gary KZbin theme better be in the S tier

[@genesis4322]

Gunther's theme is so much worse than it used to be. To me it just feels was less awe-inspiring than his original one. Why they changed it I don't know but I still love him as a wrestler.

[@bez_]

Hard agree

[@marcafterlife]

Agreed. It's awful.

[@Ty2595]

I haven't even watched this yet but if Tokyo Shock (Iyo's theme) isn't A+ tier then anything else is invalid

[@lilpoetat]

Thanks 🎉

[@mattpatrick]

This theme song is a musical achievement

[@therealslimshanky4393]

Rhea Ripley and Bobby Lashley have the best def rebel theme songs

[@Jason-Fratto]

So we're all ranking the Gary KZbin theme as S tier, right? Because I will be playing it on repeat.

[@NoobCakeHunterD]

i guess this are not all of them? no enough in the bin!

[@mikeyspinkick]

14:02 - Ow, my Key Bridge. I'm two miles from it, funny enough. Got you Ross. r/Cultaholic

[@johnnoon9498]

All in the bin for me Gary.

1:29:52 I don't think Austrians give speeches to large crowds anymore.

[@lemonsheamus7418]

40:55 for Twinkle Toes Tweddell

[@Silent-qs6sb]

I Am Greatness is a great theme.

[@bryanwladkowski1236]

Yes

[@gudmornin]

Sheamus/Brawling Brutes theme is just Angry Birds 2 Boss theme.

[@puppetboy4192]

1:13:05 broke my ass laughing

[@Avatar1977]

Your Hole!!

[@pokiewrestler]

What a banger

[@paulpacman6279]

1:00:52 is Buzzin - Mann

[@earlclark6002]

I like Bron Breakker’s original NXT song. I don’t know why they give somebody a new every time they get called up. The new song sucks more often than not

Bloody Hell it IS Gary
