Monday Night RAW ushered in a new era on January 5, 2026, and with it came a new official theme song: “Godzilla” by Eminem and Juice WRLD.
The track debuted during RAW’s one-year Netflix anniversary broadcast from the Barclays Center and now officially represents WWE’s flagship show. Fans noticed immediately as the song played during the show’s new intro package, replacing Travis Scott’s “4×4”, which had served as RAW’s theme since early 2025.
This marks another major crossover between WWE and the music industry—especially with Eminem, a cultural icon whose catalog brings both attitude and mainstream attention. The inclusion of the late Juice WRLD on the track also adds emotional weight and resonance with younger fans.
While WWE has yet to issue an official statement on the change, the timing is hard to ignore—especially with recent developments surrounding Travis Scott’s exit from WWE programming entirely.
Scott was previously involved in a major WrestleMania 41 storyline where he helped John Cena win the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, that angle was abruptly scrapped, and reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reveal that Scott had a “full falling out” with WWE behind the scenes.
Originally slated to appear as a surprise DLC character in WWE 2K25, Scott was quietly removed and replaced by a fictional character and the returning Aleister Black. Internally, the company is said to be done with the rapper—“open season to knock him,” one source told the Observer. That sentiment was echoed by Drew McIntyre, who didn’t hold back on the Impaulsive podcast, calling Scott a “piece of sht”* when discussing the chaos of that WrestleMania segment.
Scott’s exit also comes amid reports that he struggled during WWE training sessions and failed to connect with fans in the way other celebrity guests have in the past.
Now, with “Godzilla” taking over the RAW soundtrack and Scott entirely removed from WWE’s orbit, the message is clear: the partnership is over.
Do you think “Godzilla” fits the RAW brand better than “4×4”? And was WWE right to pull the plug on Travis Scott’s involvement? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
