AEW retains an original hire
Added 2024-10-25 20:58:29 +0000 UTCWith discussion of the future of WWE’s music department rampant, we know one name who will not be involved, as an AEW original has a new deal and will be remaining with the company.
Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has learned that AEW music producer Mikey Rukus recently agreed to a new deal with All Elite Wrestling, which will keep him with the company moving forward. Rukus has been a part of AEW since 2019, and produced a number of their most iconic themes. When details emerged regarding the future of WWE’s music division, a WWE source reached out to Fightful and confirmed that the company reached a new agreement with Rukus in recent months.
In addition to the number of AEW themes Rukus produced, he’s worked on several for wrestlers outside the company. He’s also produced orchestral and 8-bit albums of AEW themes.

That’s fine, I’m talking about as a viewer. Not one mid card theme is catchy.

2024-10-26 21:26:06 +0000 UTCI've never had one AEW talent complain about their theme. Across multiple regimes, at least two dozen from WWE have complained about theirs.

2024-10-26 21:24:57 +0000 UTCIt’s 1000% accurate

2024-10-26 03:16:02 +0000 UTCThat's a talent. Really drives home how important music is to professional wrestling.

2024-10-26 02:30:42 +0000 UTCAgreed. Most of the themes seem to make sense and Rukus loves the company and what he is doing. Very real energy.

2024-10-26 02:02:36 +0000 UTCFrom the mid card down, you can never tell the difference between any of them and I watch both shows

2024-10-26 01:09:41 +0000 UTCI watch both Dynamite and Collision you can never distinguish have the themes from one another. Only a select few. The biggest theme AEW had was Judas, 2nd was Cody’s.

2024-10-26 01:08:48 +0000 UTCIn your opinion.....

2024-10-26 00:41:08 +0000 UTCThis is great news. Rukus has done some good work. He's also great at interacting with fans and ramping up excitement.

2024-10-26 00:37:49 +0000 UTCAEW themes aren’t great either if we’re being honest

2024-10-25 22:04:31 +0000 UTCIt seems the implication is moreso that if they were, as recently reported, on the hunt for a new music supervisor that he, as someone with well received experience would be a natural candidate, if available.

2024-10-25 22:04:25 +0000 UTCRukus is such a musical alchemist capable of working within so many genres seamlessly. Great to see, and further drives home the point that AEW puts a ton of value in music in wrestling.

2024-10-25 22:00:39 +0000 UTCRukus is the best

2024-10-25 21:49:13 +0000 UTCGreat!! Mikey is the best

2024-10-25 21:12:55 +0000 UTCHe’s probably the best ever at creating unique wrestling themes that can be played in your car and it not be corny
Richman
2024-10-25 21:10:55 +0000 UTCIt's a weird thing with Mikey Rukus, but I think his best themes are the ones for the jobbers, like "Grinding Gears" for The Factory, "Voel Die Vibe Vandag" for Angelico, and "The Pit" for Chaos Project.
Matthew Bamford
2024-10-25 21:10:24 +0000 UTCSo WWE was trying to get Rukus? Is that what I am reading here?
R
2024-10-25 21:08:58 +0000 UTCProbably a “he’s not coming to replace def rebel bc he just re-signed with AEW” kinda thing
MrBigBadBean
2024-10-25 21:07:45 +0000 UTCBest themes in the game right now
MrBigBadBean
2024-10-25 21:06:41 +0000 UTCHe's been great for aew. I really appreciate his style and his work.

2024-10-25 21:06:11 +0000 UTChit rate is ridiculously high
David C
2024-10-25 21:04:56 +0000 UTCOne of the most important people at the company. Without Rukus it just wouldn’t feel like AEW.
David C
2024-10-25 21:03:55 +0000 UTCGreat news. He is the man! All of his themes are so recognizable from the first note

2024-10-25 21:03:14 +0000 UTCThe wwe source reached out to confirm Mikey Rikus re-signed with them?

2024-10-25 21:03:14 +0000 UTCI remember Rukus originally working with Rev Pro before he started with AEW. The classic Dynamite theme sounded like an intro theme he did for them at the time.

2024-10-25 21:03:07 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear this. A majority of the themes he's created have been great.

2024-10-25 21:03:02 +0000 UTCWhat a great hire. He's doing amazing work.
Cory Bradley
2024-10-25 21:02:23 +0000 UTCHe's the fucking man
