Indiana-based rockers Downstait have penned the entrance music for numerous wrestlers. Their theme for Cody Rhodes, “Kingdom,” is the most well known of the bunch, and it topped 20 million streams on Spotify last year.
The band has also crafted the entrance music for The Miz, Alex Riley, Chelsea Green, Britt Baker, Matt Cardona, Dustin Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler, among others. Ziggler, who looks set to resume his wrestling career under his real name, Nic Nemeth, has again tapped Downstait for his new entrance music, “Wanted Man.”
The band sports a modern, hard rock sound in much of their music, but “Wanted Man” sounds decidedly more 80s rock-influenced than their previous efforts as indicated by a new 30-second teaser for the track. The song was produced by guitarist Justin Call.
After his New Japan Pro Wrestling Debut, Nemeth introduced a new gimmick for himself where he was called the “Wanted Man.” Downstait plans to release the track on Feb. 2. The teaser can be heard below, and it also features in the new cinematic introduction to Nemeth’s character shared via his brother’s YouTube channel.
