Former WWE star and professional wrestling legend Christian had an entrance theme titled “Just Close Your Eyes,” performed by Waterproof Blonde, during his time in WWE before leaving for TNA Wrestling in 2005. However, when he returned to WWE in February 2009, his theme was changed to “Story of the Year.”
In a recent Q&A session on Fightful Select, a user asked Sean Ross Sapp why former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon decided to change the theme. Sapp explained that McMahon believed babyface wrestlers should not have female singers for their entrance songs.
Sapp also mentioned that he heard from individuals in WWE’s music department at the time that it cost the company a significant amount of money to have the song redone by an active, popular music act, rather than using the original version by Waterproof Blonde, which had disbanded by then.
Currently, Christian is part of AEW, where he reunited with his long-time friend and former WWE star Adam Copeland (Edge) last year. Recently, he challenged FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
