A popular WWE star has admitted that they wanted to change their equally as popular theme song.
Upon signing with WWE in 2013, Sami Zayn became one of the most popular babyfaces and was synonymous with his “Worlds Apart” theme song.
However, Zayn turned heel in 2017 and changed his theme music more than a year later.
Speaking with Metro, the Honorary Uce admitted that he had been long past wanting a new song and was very desperate for one.
Zayn said:
“Honestly, I wanted to change that song for a while. I thought I had it for too long – two years too long, maybe three years too long. Once I became a bad guy. I felt it should have switched right away. (Vince McMahon) had a bit of a different mindset about it, which I see his point. It reached a point where it didn’t match the character anymore. Especially when I was doing the conspiracy stuff. I have a soft spot for that conspiracy theory stuff because it was just so creatively stimulating at the time. All this to say, the music – I thought it was really good for my time in NXT, it was really good for my time early up on the main roster. But then the character evolved, and as the character evolves, I think that music – (Worlds Collide is) not even great music that can be applied to whatever. It can’t just go to any character, and as the character evolves – it felt very specific to that character, the plucky underdog.”
Sami Zayn is currently involved in what is widely regarded as the best storyline in WWE with his current alliance with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline.
As previously reported, Zayn revealed the original plan for the Bloodline angle in a recent interview.
