“It Was Life-Changing”: Original Composer’s Emotional Reaction After WWE Quietly Replaces Stephanie Vaquer’s Theme
WWE changing entrance themes has become routine—but this time, the fallout feels different. When Stephanie Vaquer appeared on WWE RAW with a new entrance song, sharp-eyed fans immediately noticed something was missing. Her original theme, “Bury Me,” had been quietly removed. And now, the man who created that music has finally spoken out, delivering an emotional response that’s hitting fans right in the feels.
Original Theme Creator Speaks Out After WWE Switch
Stephanie Vaquer’s first WWE theme, “Bury Me,” was written by musician Chris Egert, and for him, hearing it on WWE television wasn’t just another credit—it was a career-defining moment.
Following the theme change, Egert took to social media to reflect on what that opportunity meant. He shared that watching Vaquer walk out to his song in 2025 was one of the proudest moments of his life as a musician.
According to Egert, “Bury Me” wasn’t created as disposable background music. He wrote it during a period when he was fully committed to music with his band, In Virgo, pouring real emotion, struggle, and intensity into the track. In his words, it was meant to feel raw and alive—qualities he believed perfectly matched Vaquer’s presence and aura.
He also praised Vaquer’s WWE journey, saying it’s been a joy watching her rise toward becoming “La Primera.” Egert revealed that both he and his family are genuine fans, and being even a small part of her story felt like an honor.
The most striking revelation? Egert confirmed that Vaquer personally fought to keep his song. He described that gesture as “life-changing” and deeply validating, adding that no matter what happens on TV, “Bury Me” will always be Stephanie Vaquer’s song in his eyes.
Stephanie Vaquer Previously Fought WWE Over Her Music
Vaquer herself has been open about how much the theme meant to her.
During a past appearance on the Insight podcast, she revealed that shortly after arriving on WWE RAW, she was told her music needed to be changed. Instead of accepting it, Vaquer said she went directly to Shawn Michaels and explained why the song mattered so much to her.
She recalled that Michaels agreed to look into it, and for a while, the theme stayed. Vaquer also noted that fans strongly connected with the music, which made the fight to keep it even more important to her.
Fans Once Again Slam WWE’s Theme Philosophy
With the theme now officially replaced, fans have reignited criticism of WWE’s approach to entrance music. Many argue that distinctive themes are crucial for building star power, identity, and long-term emotional connections with the audience.
While Stephanie Vaquer continues her rise as one of WWE’s most exciting talents, the heartfelt reaction from her original theme’s creator has reminded fans of something wrestling often forgets: an entrance theme isn’t just noise—it’s identity, emotion, and legacy wrapped into a few unforgettable seconds.
