EXCLUSIVE: AEW Star’s Theme Music Originally Planned To Reference The Rock

WWE/WrestleTalk

Current AEW star Jeff Jarrett’s theme ‘My World’ featured a reference to The Rock that had to be changed due to potential trademark issues.

In an exclusive interview with WrestleTalk, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that one line in particular was the cause of concern.

Jarrett was asked about the following lyrics in his entrance music, the same music he originally used in TNA that has now carried over into AEW:

“The earth is not your place. The pale skin is on your face. If you step inside with me, you will see a king. He ain’t dead. He is Jeff.”

The verse didn’t always end like that, however, as it made reference to The Rock instead until it was changed.

Speaking of the change, Jarrett explained:

“In writing that song, I think, ‘He ain’t dead, he ain’t The Rock’ – did you ever hear that version of it? I think that was out, and The Rock is trademarked.

“So I think we went back in… that last line, we tweaked a couple of different ways.”

Dale Oliver composed Jarrett’s My World theme and sang on the original version of the entrance music.

Oliver has been signed with IMPACT Wrestling since its inception in 2002 serving as its Head Music Composer and Director of Audio Production.

Jarrett, on the other hand, has a big match coming up on AEW Dynamite this week, teaming with Jay Lethal and Satnam Singh against Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks.

Dynamite could well see some of the plans for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium on August 27 become clearer, as there are still no matches announced, despite tickets distributed now sitting at 77,470 as of WrestleTix’s latest update.

Our full interview with Jarrett will be posted on the WrestleTalk Podcast channel on Friday, and stay tuned to the website for more exclusive quotes.
