Stephanie Vaquer has addressed the change to her WWE entrance theme that caught fans off guard earlier this year.
In February, Vaquer debuted a new theme song called “La Primera,” a Def Rebel track, replacing her fan-favorite “Bury Me” by Chris Egert. The change generated a confused reaction from the audience given how much “Bury Me” had connected with fans during her rise. Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Vaquer briefly explained the situation.
“I like it. I love my old song. But, you know, many issues, so we need a new song. I just hope people can understand that,” Vaquer said.
Following the change, Egert addressed the situation on social media in a message that was both gracious and reflective.
“One of the most amazing highlights for me from 2025 was Stephanie Vaquer walking out to music I wrote, ‘Bury Me.’ It was part of a few boutique music cues I wrote for my publisher when I was pursuing music full time in my band ‘In Virgo.’ I’m an artist, not a stock music composer. I put a lot of soul and fire into that one and it fits her vibe so well. It was awesome watching La Primera’s ascent to becoming a legend, and me and my entire family are all huge fans. It was an honor to be a small part of it and I am eternally grateful to Stephanie Vaquer for fighting for my music. It was so validating and life changing for me as an artist. In my mind, ‘Bury Me’ will always belong to you. We love you Stephanie!!” Egert wrote.
