Former WWE Name Denies Being Approached By AEW

During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, legendary entrance theme composer Jim Johnston has opened up about his long tenure with WWE and release from the company in 2017.

Jim Johnston revealed that he has never been contacted by AEW since the promotion was formed in 2019. The composer noted that he was surprised to have not been approached by Tony Khan:

“No and it always amazed me from a business angle. If I was in that work room, I would say ‘Vince just fired Jim, this is a way we could really stick it to them. Find that guy and get him in here this afternoon.’ It doesn’t make sense to me.”

During the same interview, Jim Johnston slammed both WWE and AEW for having “really mediocre” entrance music, which you can read more about by clicking here.
