Wilson’s new theme caught fire during his January 2 “WWE SmackDown” match against Matt Cardona, kicking off the pair’s feud. The star has been on his own since Prince suffered an injury during a match in May 2025. He explained Paul “Triple H” Levesque asked him if he wanted new music, and Wilson said as much as he cherishes Pretty Deadly, it was time to move on.

“I was scared, but I just felt like if we’re going to this new chapter, we have to go,” he said. “So I said, ‘I want to get rid of all that.’ Then, obviously, if it comes back, it comes back. But I just wanted to start new.”

The star appears to be having a blast with his new song, as much as the crowd and those on social media. He can be seen singing along to the music during his entrance, and he told Van Vliet while he loves a “little lip sync moment,” it hasn’t been easy.

“I have been struggling,” he said. “The crowd makes noise, which has been really annoying, because I can’t hear my music. I can’t sing along… But, I love the music. I love the lyrics, and again, with the email, there were certain words and certain lyrics. I wanted ‘Pretty Deadly’ in there. I wanted some kind of reference. So there’s just little Easter eggs in it.”
