Former WWE music composer Jim Johnston calls WWE/AEW music โreally mediocreโ:
โI felt a great responsibility, like part of these guyโs careers and successes were in my hand. The music now in WWE and in AEW, Iโm sorry if this is mean, itโs all really homogenous and really mediocre and it doesnโt have anything to do with the characters. And I think thatโs why there are less big stars. I donโt think that there are no potential big stars on the rosters hiding there. Before Steve Austin was Steve Austin, he was The Ringmaster and there are lots of stories like that. These people need the right storyline, the right costuming and definitely the right music to lift them up.โ
