UPDATED: WWE Preparing New RAW Opening Video
Posted by Ashish on 10.27.2009
Filmed footage for it at RAW last night...
UPDATED: According to another live report from last night's Raw, it was announced that the new Raw opening will debut next week.
Original: WWE is apparently filming a new opening video for RAW as during last night's broadcast, after the Sheamus vs. Jamie Noble match, Josh Matthews came out and told the crowd to scream over and over again. He said that the footage would be used in the new opening, and that the new opening will debut soon.

Hopefully, the new intro and theme will be less gay than the previous two. Just bring back the original or late 90s RAW theme. It didn't need an update.

Hopefully its an Ozzy Osbourne song, that would be awesome

Its gonna be performed by McMahon's favorite band The Wiggles.
That would be Aurora McMahon.

I thought Across the Nation, the theme from 2002-2006, was perfect for a wrestling show. But this Papa Roach faggotry the past few years is god awful. Just one of the many reasons I stopped watching regularly in 06.

'Thorn In Your Eye' does not fit with their PG image.
They'll probably use a Jonas Brothers song.

raw is war theme please

Couldn't he just have told them that Taker vs. Show was booked for the next PPV?

You are gay.That is all.

@ Brad B
WWE had to fit the recent fad of the Emo scene that was going on at the time. "I just wanna be loved."? what the hell kind of theme music is that? I miss the "Raw is War - Thorn in your eye." theme as well.
Posted By: Mr. Mack (Guest) on October 27, 2009 at 06:11 AM
Brad's right. Should go back to the old intro- Get the top RAW stars brawling in a ring that's in a warehouse, with random stuff on fire around the place.
Thorn in Your Eye = Greatest Raw Theme
Posted By: JBell (Guest) on October 27, 2009 at 06:18 AM
Oh yea, the old RAW theme, that's what it's all about, Tattoo it on your forehead. YOUR WAR IS OVER BRAD B, my condolences! The Bums lost! I suggest you do what your parents did, get a job sir!

It will be G-rated...here is what will be in the video:
-They will go for something close to sesame street
-Triple H and HBK will be riding bikes and launching water balloons at Legacy
-Kofi Kingstons head will appear in the Sun and wink/shake his head at DX's antics
-Miz will be flexing in the mirror while Randy Orton gives him tips on glaring
-It ends with John Cena busting a move and shimmying down the street to a door that placed at the end of the street.
-When the door opens its going to be a big question mark which entails the new craptacular celeb raw gm.

Just show Diva boob and ass shots and we'll all be happy.

Must be great living 15 years in the past where nothing needs to change, huh?
Posted By: His Bubbliness (Guest) on October 27, 2009 at 07:20 AM
LOL @ scream over and over again.
It will only be redeemable if Kelly Kelly is the main focus of it. No one else on RAW is more important or relevant than she is. Orton and D-X wish they were as cool as K2.

Amen to that, my brother. I am sure the new opening will be from whatever generic radio rock band has a cd coming out in the upcoming months though.

That's been 3 years they've used Papa Roach - time for a change... Loved the previous Raw them though.... "Let's Get It On !"
Posted By: dj_bollocks (Guest) on October 27, 2009 at 08:06 AM
See, I've always been fine with the Papa Roach theme...just kinda fits...
"I want domination, I want your submission..."
Plus, it does kinda sound like he's saying "I just wanna be Raw", which I'm sure is what the producers were going for.

Needs moar baldie walking through an abandoned industrial estate. Which is on fire.
Posted By: diz (Guest) on October 27, 2009 at 09:25 AM
They should be using "What Doesn't Die" by Anthrax.
And I hope they don't change the video itself too much because the one they have right now is one of the best they've ever done, for anything.
Posted By: Joe (Guest) on October 27, 2009 at 09:22 AM
Now change the opening song too. Sucks just as much as Cena's music.
Posted By: Guest#8062 (Guest) on October 27, 2009 at 08:49 AM
I muct be in the minority but I liked the current Papa Roach theme to RAW. What would be an lol. moment is if Jillian Hall performs the new RAW intro...
Posted By: Carolina_Wrestling_Fan (Guest) on October 27, 2009 at 10:37 AM
When you need to TELL the fans to scream, you have a problem.
Honestly, I miss the "...over 50 years, the revolutionary force in Sports Entertainment" opening. Every time that was spoken, my friend and I would stand up straight, hand over our hearts like it was the national anthem and then shake hands before sitting back down.

This to the tune of "Friends Forever." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27EVNiKDR4k

They need to change the song. That song is annoying.
I only like their first album.
