WWE SmackDown is set for a major transformation as it moves to the USA Network on September 13, 2024, and one of the most exciting changes is the debut of a new theme song. For the past three years, SmackDown has been introduced by Nobody Better Than Me by def rebel featuring Supreme Madness, but thats about to change.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, SmackDowns new theme song, titled Neva Play, will be performed by Megan Thee Stallion and RM of BTS. This marks a shift away from WWEs tradition of using in-house music teams like def rebel and CFO$. Instead.
It was previously reported that WWE was looking for mainstream artist this time around. The company is embracing collaborations with mainstream artists, following recent partnerships with Electric Callboy and BabyMetal, who provided music for Bash in Berlin.
The decision to bring in high-profile artists reflects WWEs strategy to refresh SmackDowns image as it embarks on this new chapter on USA Network. The move away from familiar in-house production could bring a fresh and modern sound to the blue brand, one that resonates with a broader audience.
Historically, SmackDown has a rich legacy of theme songs, from Jim Johnstons Everybody On The Ground in 1999 to AC/DCs Are You Ready between 2019 and 2022. Memorable tracks like Marilyn Mansons The Beautiful People and Green Days Know Your Enemy have helped define SmackDowns identity over the years.
The introduction of Neva Play represents a significant change, but whether it will achieve the same iconic status as its predecessors remains to be seen. Fans are eagerly anticipating how the new theme song will fit into the shows legacy as it continues to evolve.
With WWE SmackDowns move to USA Network, this new theme song will help usher in a fresh era for the show.
