I was very surprised the heel team won, which might suggest Dolph Ziggler will continue to chase the United States Championship. Damian Priest and The Street Profitsĭamian Priest’s promos desperately need better scripting.
Good for Alpha Academy for winning the Raw Tag Team Championships, but it’s weird to see WWE reward talent that it sabotaged. RK-Bro-WWE Raw Tag Team ChampionshipsĮither WWE wanted a newsworthy outcome that would cause people not to switch over to the National Championship game, or its preparing for a Randy Orton-Riddle feud. Being part of this group feels like such an abusive relationship. The Hurt Business once again imploded by the end of this segment. "It’s like I'm officially canon in the WWE universe, which is amazing,” he says.Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley have fantastic chemistry in promos, making this even more of a dream feud. Mega Ran says he feels “honored” to now be a part of that musical pantheon. "WWE has worked with a who's who of great rap artists over the years.” Run DMC’s D-Generation X song is my favorite version of that theme,” Mega Ran says. “They did a ton of rap remixes on that albums. Starting in 2000, the company began tapping hip-hop artists such as Run DMC, Method Man, Ice-T, and Snoop Dogg for its themes and the album WWE Aggression. WWE has a long history of featuring rappers, rock bands, and other recording artists on its theme songs for more than 30 years. “I didn't know until Friday afternoon it was going to air on that night,” he says. He got word the day the episode aired that his contribution would be included. The rapper got to work, recording his vocals two days later at HandKrafted Studios in west Phoenix. “By the end of the day, sent me a backing track and said, ‘If you can finish this by the end of the week, I think we can use this on TV.’ Would you be interested in getting involved?’ And I'm like, ‘Woah, absolutely,’” Mega Ran says. “He was like, ‘I think they're going to do some new music for me King of the Ring. Mega Ran says Woods called him on November 1 about contributing to the theme song. It finally happened earlier this month and came together quickly.
“I stalked him, emailed him, wooed him, took him to WrestleMania with my family. “I’ve wanted this man to do my theme music for years,” Woods says. They’ve also created hip-hop tracks together, including the 2019 single “ Sunset Flip,” but Woods told New Times through Mega Ran he’s wanted to Woods has wanted to use the rapper for one of his theme songs. (Mega Ran says he helped prep Woods and his teammates for the battle.) The pair have also collaborated a few times over the years, including the time when Mega Ran appeared on an episode of SmackDown as a member of The New Day’s posse during a rap battle with the Uso brothers in 2017.

They became fast friends after bonding over a mutual love of wrestling, music, and video games (Woods is an avid gamer who created the WWE’s long-running YouTube series UUDD). Fittingly, the two met after the WWE superstar discovered the rapper while searching the internet for potential theme music for his then-embryonic tag team The New Day. Mega Ran’s inclusion in the theme song was born out of his friendship with Woods, which dates back to 2013. “Being in a theme song is pretty much the goal of anyone who makes music and loves wrestling.” “It's like the culmination of a boyhood dream, to paraphrase that one Shawn Michaels promo,” he says. The rapper, an avowed wrestling fan since childhood, told Phoenix New Times he was ecstatic about being featured on a WWE theme song.
Mega Ran can be heard rapping such lines as "Bow down!" in the theme. It was inspired by Woods winning the WWE’s “King of the Ring” tournament last month. The untitled hip-hop track, which also includes vocals by Canadian rapper Sayzee, was created by WWE Music Group, the company’s in-house record label and music production studio. That’s because vocals by the Phoenix-based geek rapper are featured in the new theme song for WWE superstar Xavier Woods, which made its debut on the November 5 episode of the show. Fans of Mega Ran might’ve heard a familiar voice if they tuned in to the most recent edition of WWE SmackDown.
