For quite some time, there has been a rumor of seeing Roman Reigns coming out in a new theme song. Finally, on last night’s Smackdown, the anticipation turned out to be a reality as The Tribal Chief debuted his new entrance while coming out to compete in the scheduled title match against Daniel Bryan.
As reported earlier, Roman Reigns defeated Daniel Bryan in the big Career vs. Title main event match on Smackdown, after which Bryan is now banned from the blue brand. While Bryan’s WWE future has been a talking point coming out of the show, Roman Reigns’ new entrance theme music is no less. After all, he is the one who delivers food to everybody to the Smackdown locker room.
Anthony Mirabella, who works for WWE Music Group partner Def Rebel, hinted on Instagram that he and his partners are responsible for The Big Dog’s new theme music. Def Rebel has been involved in most of the WWE theme songs since CFO$ stopped working with the company in late 2019.

Roman Reigns was the one to carry this last trademark Shield theme song ever since the faction erupted in 2014. It fitted her since he was playing the role of the prime babyface player for the WWE following the split. But he returned with a new attitude in the summer of last year, converting into a heel. So a new theme song was needed to suit his new on-screen persona.

So far, the feedback to Roman Reigns’ new theme song on social media has received major praises, but as always there’s some negative feedback, too. It should be noted that he teased a theme song change back in September to go with his new look before he retained over Jey Uso at the Clash of Champions PPV event.
“There’s a lot more to it than just me creating my own music. It requires me to go through a lot of channels. You have to understand I’m not automatically a bad guy now. You’ve seen it [the change in my character] in gradual steps. You’ve seen layers of that so far,” Roman Reigns said last September.
“I want all the nuances to add up. As a full-time performer, I have to keep things fresh and do something new every week. That’s why we have decided to save the new music. And hopefully down the line, once more drastic things happen, and the story unfolds, you’ll hear it.” (Quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
