All Elite Wrestling head Tony Khan is no stranger to paying for well-known songs both for talent entrances and as theme music for specific shows. AEW’s CEO has ponied up for the rights to numerous well-known songs including Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (CM Punk), Metallica’s “Seek and Destroy” (Sting & Darby Allin), The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind” and Jefferson Starship’s “Jane” (Orange Cassidy) as well as Baltimora’s “Tarzan Boy” (Jungle Boy).
Khan has also licensed Europe’s “The Final Countdown” for Bryan Danielson, Kansas’ “Carry On Wayward Son” for Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, Pantera’s “Walk” for Rob Van Dam and 50 Cent’s “Many Men (Wish Death)” for The Gunns.
On Wednesday, Khan announced on X that he has licensed “November Rain” by Guns & Roses for the upcoming AEW Full Gear pay-per-view later this month.
“Thanks to @gunsnroses, AEW has secured a license to use November Rain in our videos promoting #AEWFullGear + this AEW November to Remember! Expect AEW November Rain by this weekend + again next Wednesday before the ppv!” he posted.
Full Gear is set for Nov. 23 from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. AEW Champion Jon Moxley is set to defend his title against Orange Cassidy. Bobby Lashley will have his first sanctioned match with AEW since joining the company against former AEW Champion Swerve Strickland, and Mercedes Moné is scheduled to defend her TBS Championship against Kris Statlander.
