Drew McIntyre had talked for years about wanting to bring back his old ‘Broken Dreams’ theme song that he used during his first run in WWE. He was given a different song when he returned to WWE in 2017.
WWE aired a video package recapping his wrestling career with the song before he made his entrance at Clash at the Castle in the UK with his current song. McIntyre lost to Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Clash at the Castle.
While speaking with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport after the match, McIntyre explained why it was important to him to use the old theme song.
“I’ve been pushing it for a very long time. I didn’t think they’d finally bite, but I had a conversation with Hunter (Triple H) and Kevin Dunn. You know, I tried to explain that I think this is the time with the crowd we are going to have. This is a knowledgeable crowd. They know my history. It is very much a full-circle moment for me, and I feel that it is very much a part of my story. I knew it would get a pop from the live crowd, and I knew people online would get a kick out of it, but for me, hearing that, it reminded me of how far I’ve come, and our production team put together the best videos.”
