Does Randy Orton hates his iconic “Voices” theme music? WWE veteran gives big statement

Randy Orton recently appeared for an interview with Graham “GSM” Matthews, where the Viper discussed his current WWE theme song, which has been iconic since the theme debuted in 2008. Orton however said that he is not a huge fan of his Voices theme and thought of changing the theme before his return at Survivor Series 2023. Here is what Orton said about his Voices theme.

Randy Orton on his “Voices” theme

Randy Orton on Rev Theory & the theme fitting his character,

“Rev Theory is great. My song is great. A lot of people enjoy it. I have never loved, loved, loved it. You see me bouncing my head to New Day’s music or AJ Styles comes to the ring with his music. I’m singing along. Samoa Joe, when he was with us. The instrumentals. Roman, Judgment Day. There is some music that gets me going. The kind of music I listen to in the gym, the kind of music that pumps me up, doesn’t really fit Randy Orton the character. There is some truth to what you read. I was just as much behind it as WWE.”

Randy Orton on working for a new theme,

“We actually were working throughout the summer, me and Neil Lowry, with a new song. It kind of kept evolving and evolving, and when we thought we had something, a higher-up, some WWE brass would listen to it, and they’d go, ‘That kind of sounds like Roman’s here. Take that out.’ It would evolve again. ‘Now what do you think?’ ‘We need to change this part because we need better cues for camera angles.’ It would evolve.”

“It got to a point where we played it at Survivor Series with the intent of, ‘Am I going to come out with a new song tonight?’ The decision in the 11th hour was ‘Voices’ is a song that people have learned to love and goddammit, even though it doesn’t necessarily get my blood pumping, it gets all those fans pumping and they know when they hear the first few notes, they know who is walking down to the ring and how that makes them feel. To change all of that…I was going to change my gear, I was going to try and make all these changes.” 

“I bought a pair of fucking kick pads. ‘Let me try and change my look.’ In the 11th hour it was like, ‘What am I doing? I’m going to look like some old guy who changed his clothes.’ I think the only change I had was, instead of ORTON on the back of my gear, it says RKO. That’s the kind of change, unless you’re looking for it, you’re not going to notice. I like the fact that, throughout my career, I’ve worn the same shit, come out to the same shit, done the same shit, and it’s worked. If it ain’t broke, why change it?”

Orton on Voices and to connect with people & him,

“As far as the music goes, I would love, before it’s all said and done, to have some music that gives me goosebumps. ‘Voices’ is great. It makes sense. The words make sense. It’s damn near written for me, I feel like. Rich from Rev Theory is a hell of a singer and the band is great, no problem with them at all, but it’s not the kind of music that pumps up Randy Orton.”
