Theme Time - #11 - Cody Rhodes

[Y2Jayne]

To celebrate Cody's win against Lesnar last night, let's take a look at the list of theme songs he used in WWE during his two runs. I know Kingdom is a favourite but take time to check the old ones. Fun fact : Cody is one of the rare wrestlers who worked for WWE and never had a CFO$ pr def rebel-made theme song. Which one was the best in your opinion?
PS : I didn't count stables' theme songs as usual, such as Legacy's.


1st - Out to Kill (used from July 2007 to July 2010)





2nd - Smoke & Mirrors (used from July 2010 to March 2011)





3rd - Smoke & Mirrors (Ugly) (used from March to November 2011)





4th - Smoke and Mirrors V2 (used from November 2011 to June 2014)





5th - Written in the Stars (used from June 2014 till his departure in 2016)





6th - Kingdom (used since his return in 2022)

Hey everyone, thanks for voting and discussing last week's thread about Gunther. Let's switch to a lady this week, someone who's had quite a few theme songs over the years, even using Paige's as part of Absolution but we'll leave it out of the list as it wasn't her own... the dearly missed...

Theme Time - #3 - Damian Priest

This week's wrestler, Damian Priest, has had a lot of theme songs in his 5 years with the company, some of those getting remixed several times, which means he used no less than 13 different themes since he debuted as Punishment Martinez on NXT. I'll only include the main versions of those that...

Theme Time - #4 - Alexa Bliss

Going back to a woman's list of theme songs this week. Little Miss Bliss has had a lot of them over the years, including 4 of those over those last two years. I'm deliberately not counting Bray Wyatt's Firefly Funhouse theme song or Blake and Murphy's that Alexa also used when she was paired...

Theme Time - #5 - Seth Rollins

This week we'll focus on a man who made his theme song a big part of his current character : Seth freakin' Rollins. But is it the best he's ever had in your opinion? I left out the Shield's theme song "Special Op" as it was a stable's theme song and it's more often associated with Roman Reigns...

Theme Time - #9 - Wade Barrett

This week's about one of the first people I had in mind when I started this series of threads. Barrett had a huge list of theme songs over his WWE career. They changed his music several weeks in a row sometimes, and some of those songs weren't even used long enough to warrant a release. I'll...

Kingdom is everything, except dashing.

Kingdom all day everyday

I just can't with this song, I hate Downstait too much. I find their singer irritating as hell, that's why I always hated Miz's, Alex Riley's or Dolph's theme songs. Shit they even did Zack Ryder's.

They even did Matt Cardona's too. Apparently they were about ready to break up and WWE commissioned them to cover Zack Ryders song, and that got them together again so they thanked him by doing his new song for free. And they never should have done Zack Ryders song it didn't fit his character at all.


I'm going Smoke & Mirrors. I think the OG Smoke & Mirrors over V2 or Ugly. Am I the only person who thought there were vocals in Ugly Smoke & Mirrors? Cause there's no words in that and I thought they were there.

Nope there never were lyrics in the Ugly version, it makes it even more depressing. I do like the guitar part they added and that wasn't in the original tune.

I was thinking there were distorted vocals in it for some reason.

Honestly I like all his themes. Written In the Stars was good too.

Yep one of the last theme songs Jim Johnston ever did for WWE, the final one being Baron Corbin's
