A Look At The New RAW & SmackDown Logos And Theme Songs, Note On WWE TV Intro Videos

By Marc Middleton

WWE will be moving forward with new theme songs and logos for their main TV shows next week for Premiere Week. As noted, there has also been talk of introducing new stages & sets for RAW and SmackDown as well.

We noted before how "Are You Ready" by AC/DC will likely be the new SmackDown theme song as it had been used in new promos for next Friday's SmackDown FOX premiere. It was also speculated that "Legendary" by Skillet would be the new theme song for RAW as it was used in a promo for Monday's season premiere episode.

As seen in the video tweet below, WWE confirmed today that Skillet's "Legendary" is a new theme song for the red brand.

On a related note, it was reported today by @Wrestlevotes that the show-opening intro videos will be returning to RAW and SmackDown next week, featuring the aforementioned theme songs. It was also noted in the report that "Legendary" and "Are You Ready" will be used in those intro videos.

WWE has not confirmed the new sets, which will go along with the new announce teams next week, but they have confirmed new RAW and SmackDown logos. They have been using the new SmackDown logos in graphics for a few weeks now, but just started using the new RAW logo in the season premiere graphics released this week.
