Every television show needs a great beginning. It is no secret that next week will be one of the biggest in the history of WWE, as it is both the season premiere of Raw and the debut of Smackdown on FOX. But what theme songs will be used for both shows?
According to a tweet from Wrestlevotes, Raw will use using “Legendary” by Skillet & Smackdown will featured “Are You Ready” by AC/DC. In addition, “show opening” videos, which are seen on most television shows, will be returning.
Getting a lot of questions about whether “show opening” intro videos will return? The answer is YES. For both shows, with the themes that have been played some already. RAW will use “Legendary” by Skillet & SD has “Are You Ready” by AC/DC.

In recent years, the “show openings” have been used very sparingly, if at all. Check out how Raw used to open in the mid-2000’s:
Editor’s Opinion:
Excellent choices for songs for both brands. Also, I’m not surpirsed to see that intro videos are returning; if WWE truly is trying to become more of a mainstream product, then doing what a traditional television show does will help them in this endeavor. It’s going to be a very fun week of wrestling and I can’t wait to see what happens!
