His character evolved in 2008 after his shoulder injury. During this time, he gained a new entrance theme, “Voices”, performed by the band Rev Theory.

In an interview, Orton admitted he needed new entrance music after losing the WWE title to Triple H in 2008.

“I wish we could pick our theme music,” he said.

“For the longest time, I had the Burning My Light or whatever the entrance music was that started with ‘Hey, nothing you can say,’ and I hated that s**t for all four years. I hated it from the first day I heard it. They even tried to tweak it a bit and I still hated it,” Orton.
