AEW music head: I knew Collision theme song change from Elton John would be ‘universally hated’

Fans tuning into AEW Collision Saturday were greeted to a new theme song that was much different than the “Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)” classic by Elton John — a change the head of AEW music said he knew would be “universally hated.”

It’s unknown what the reason was for the change, but regardless Mikey Rukus — the man who helped make “Red Light Is On (Let’s Go)” — posted on X that he assumed there would be pushback from it.

“Hey guys. Its ok. I knew it would be universally hated. There’s no such thing as an upgrade from Elton. Change is inevitable. We tried something different with the college/gogo cadence. I knew many would t get it. Again, it’s ok. I’m happy with it, my team is happy with it. It’s not changing,” he posted.

Rukus also said on X that the song was actually finished on Saturday and that it should be up on Spotify within a week or so.
