I'm not quite sure about this one. It's an "entrance", sure, but it's one of those set-ups at fan events where anyone can emulate a superstar's entrance. It also seems like he's doing it with almost no one else there, as if it's before the event was open to the public. If he was doing the same entrance with fans in attendance and it was more of a proper show (even just a meet-and-greet or Q&A) I could see counting it, but in this case I feel like he was simply a fan emulating a superstar's entrance. I would also consider the caption to be more of a tongue-in-cheek sort of thing and not an outright declaration that this is an official entrance in WWE canon.

Thanks for the speedy reply, Chris. Much appreciated.

In a somewhat similar vein, a few years ago, NIL signees The Cavinder Twins made a dark entrance at a Smackdown taping and have their theme listed, and this was before any fans were in attendance, only crew and the ring announcer. That was also a social media video. Does theirs count because it was a Smackdown dark segment arranged by WWE?

Just want to know what qualifies for any future submissions. Many thanks again!

I think the Cavinder Twins entrance is a bit different. They are signees of an official WWE program, using the proper WWE entranceway in an arena prior to an actual show, with their own theme and entrance video. Tom Brady was essentially just a fan (I don't think his celebrity status prevents him from being considered as nothing more than a fan in that moment) using a basic setup at a fan-centered event meant specifically for fans to use to impersonate their favourite superstar.

I don't know if there is any specific rule about what does or doesn't count as an actual "entrance" for the site; I was just giving my personal opinion on that specific entrance. I will leave the decision up to other staff members who are better suited to make that decision.

I would count it as "misc" as it's something that was done and posted to an official wwe account, but a misc only. As they are celebrities, we'd count it. That's what I would say:)

Nota bene: Judging by the electric guitar effect noises in the background, I believe this to be the Intro Edit of "Is Cooking", though may be wrong. A Theme Tech or Admin may want to officially check this over before listing.

That's "Electrifying", not "Is Cooking"

Thanks for checking it over, glad I asked for a second opinion. Will amend accordingly.

Need consensus from a tech on this. They used one theme at Backlash 2024 (PLE), but the rest are house shows.
I say we list the Backlash one as a main listing, and the house show ones as miscelleanous. With that in mind...

Thanks! These were added =)

Thanks so much Eddie!

Seeing as I can't find any results about this specific query, should we list film characters who have had their matches taped after SmackDown / RAW? I am asking because John Cena has appeared in 'Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred' using his own theme in a match against a team who used The Brood's theme song. It was only for one scene, but was still taped in real life. What do you think? Thanks!

I personally, would say yes to this.

To me, it makes sense as we have listed miscellaneous Taping themes anyway, namely Kayla Braxton in her parody entrance as Michael Cole, and The Cavinder Twins.

These are the only ones I know but there may be more, as you can't filter the site for instances of events themes were used at.

In fact, I would propose also adding these...

Thanks!

This just reminded me to submit these miscellaneous entrances of AJ Lee impersonating Nikki Bella, and Brie Bella impersonating AJ Lee.

Surprised these haven't been listed on the main site yet, but happy to help submit them now.
