During a recent appearance on the “Meep Meep” podcast, WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Roderick Strong revealed that the band Killswitch Engage almost created a theme song for him to use in WWE.
For those unaware, Strong previously used Killswitch’s “The End of Heartache” while working the indies. Strong said,
“It wasn’t (a coincidence his theme sounds like Killswitch). It’s crazy, you want something done and it’s never as good as the people who can do it. We almost had a little bit of a thing and it would have been awesome. I had it worked out where they were going to — they had an album getting ready to come out and they were going to be able to promote it with NXT. Basically cover what (NXT) had done for me, but improve it, which is what I wanted. There is a certain sound that Killswitch has and you can tell if it’s them or not. It made me so sad that it fell apart, but it was what it was. They were going to put lyrics to it and make it an actual song.”
