AEW Turns to Outside Artists for New Set of Entrance Themes

AEW recently debuted new theme songs for Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada but it appears they weren’t actually made by the company’s resident composer at all.

According to Fightful Select, AEW’s in-house music producer Mikey Rukus was not involved in creating the two new entrance themes recently introduced on AEW television.

It was noted that Kyle Fletcher’s new theme was made by the band Hot Mulligan, while Kazuchika Okada’s new music was a collaboration between One OK Rock, Paledusk, and Chico Carlito.

Mikey Rukus is very happy to be part of the AEW family but that does not mean he necessarily has to compose every single piece of music for every single wrestler on the AEW roster.

Even though Mikey Rukus didn’t work on these specific entrance themes, he’s still a big part of AEW’s music and sound. He’s created themes for many top stars like The Elite and Thunder Rosa, helping define the company’s overall audio style.

At the same time, AEW’s decision to team up with outside artists shows they’re trying to add more variety and different musical styles to their roster’s entrances. Therefore, we’ll have to see if AEW will use more outside artists in the future.
