A WWE star has opened up about a collaboration with a musician who worked on the current version of their entrance theme.

Rey Fenix currently comes to the ring to the sound of Animo, with the entrance previously having undergone an update thanks to Tool’s guitarist Adam Jones.

During a recent appearance on the RRBG Podcast., Fenix addressed his entrance theme update and how the collaboration came to be, saying:

“It was very organic, it was important that WWE had contact with him, it was very organic.

“There was a very small conversation between him and the company, and then with us, with me, ‘I would like to create this for the music of Rey Fenix’.

“Then we talked through DMs, through messages, and he let me know, and I said, ‘Bro, if you can do it, please do it.’ That’s how it came about. Since he also has contact with the company, it wasn’t like ‘Oh, this is what I want.’

“This happened organically, ‘What do you think of this,’ ‘I would like it a lot’, and two or three days later, boom, they had already done it. I remember that time, I don’t remember the place, but they had told me ‘We already have the new entrance music.’

“They put it on, I listened to the guitar, I listened to everything, I said ‘I know who it is’, and then I was able to talk to him and say, ‘Bro, thank you very much, I loved it.'”

The original version of Animo was without the variations provided by the Tool guitarist and video director.

During the interview, Fenix would also address the possibility of a match against Bad Bunny.
