Alri? James Davie my good friend asked me this question and I intend to answer it and I will post it all here with links and from 20 to 1.
There's a lot of awesome themes out there and my mind will change time to time but wish me luck and let's hope your faves shows up here too. :)
I'll throw in a mixed bag.
20: Abyss - Down In The Catacombs
First time I seen TNA, I saw Icons, High flyers and A MONSTER! *Click* DOOMSDAY! Abyss seems to have one of the few themes in TNA history that you can recognise within a couple of seconds . It’s not an overly long song, as it loops on itself after about 75 seconds in, but those 75 seconds take you on a journey of mystery and horror!

19: Sting TNA - Slay Me!
TNA gave him his best song i feel. Truly iconic and the guitar instrumental is truly epic! One of very few easily recognisable theme songs.
18: GRADO - Like A Prayer
Guilty pleasure brilliantly funny fan favourite wrestler.

17: Charlotte Flair - Recognition
I love Charlotte's flair's song, it's a metal version of Ric flair's theme with added flair if i do say so myself.

16: Hardy Boyz - Loaded
Classic tune, everytime it played you cant help but do the hardy's salute and thrust your hips while smacking tornado's.

15: Christian - At Last
I only few years ago rediscovered this golden gem treat and i love it and used to play it constantly on repeat.

14: Beer Money - Take A Fall
BEER! MONEY! What a team, what a song, when it comes to tag teams many come to mind but among first thought of making this list, this team came second for the first team came at 16. I love this one.

13: Cena (Word Life & Time Is Now)
John Cena is the biggest star the WWE has had since The Rock and is arguably one of the greatest of all time. But Cena’s music didn’t gain widespread recognition until it got memed into the social universe, when “Unexpected Cena” became the viral hit of the summer in 2015 and has since become the Kurt Angle You Suck Chanted song of the modern era. JOHN CENA SUUUCKS, JOHN CENA SUCKS etc etc. Cena's word life i personally love and know most of it off by top of my head and it gets stuck in my brain most days it's brilliant and i miss word life cena.

12: Kurt Angle (WWE&TNA themes)
From the Angle chanted of the modern era to this one well two. Angle's Medal theme is so awesome and thanks to Edge getting the fans to chant YOU SUCK it became iconic and also made Kurt i'd say. Kurt's tna theme gold medalist is epic, it's almost terminator like start to then kicking off with a great rap it's brilliant and i love it.

11: Kane - Burned
First time hearing this i was like what in the world and then BOOM PYRO and the drums pound and the guitar screetches and its just the ultimate big red badass piece of machinery to go along with the big red machine himself because THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!
10: Aleister Black - Root Of All Evil
Upon first listen i was hooked on the song and on Black. The track truly brings an “end of times” mindset with it, which speaks volumes alongside Black’s silent death stare. Code Orange and Incendiary, the New York hardcore band who recorded the song, played Black’s introduction together live at Barclay’s Center last August in what was probably the best live-intro entrance the WWE has ever put together.

9: CM Punk - Cult Of Personality
I have always loved this song and when Punk left wwe came back and this started to play I was like what who the hell is coming out to this and then he came through the curtain and the crowd and myself just jumped out of our seats losing our minds. Obviously i was not there in person when it happened just saying i was at home like "OMG!".
8: The Demon Finn Balor - Catch Your Breath
Finn is a complex character but what a talent just a shame Vinnie won't push him for a title anymore since he had an injury when he won the big one. This song is epic!
7: Hulk Hogan - Real American
He is a real american and he fights for the rights of every man, catchy, classic and iconic and easily one of the most recognisable theme songs in history.

6: Shinsuke Nakumura - The Rising Sun
I dislike his current theme but his old one is classic it represented the strong style of his hard hitting past whilst embracing the rockstar that he is. His entrance music, while still powerful, has a sense of grace and elegance. With violins winding around a light EDM drum beat, crowds often sing the song’s main riffs in unison, even during the middle of Nakamura’s match. In the modern era of pro wrestling, where a crowd’s enthusiasm often dictates which wrestlers the WWE gives more attention to, theme songs like this are a win-win for everyone involved. And Nakamura’s is an instant classic.

5: Bobby Roode - Glorious Domination
Sometimes, all it takes is a really well-crafted theme song that can make a star. In Bobby Roode’s case, his entrance music shot him to the moon. In less than five months, Roode went from debuting winning the NXT Championship, due in large part to his insanely popular theme song which crowds immediately took to singing along with while he walked to the ring. It’s GLORIOUS!

4: Undertaker - R.I.P.
Just like HH and many other wrestlers on this list this is one of the best, classic and iconic songs but Taker has always had stand out themes. Taker’s smoggy, bone-chilling entrance is almost numbing while he slowly emerges to the tune of church organs and lightning cracks. It’s often said an entrance can make or break a wrestler, and The Undertaker’s unsettling theme is in large part why his introduction is the most thrilling and iconic of all time.
3: The Rock - Electrifying
I always wonder what he is cooking but perhaps it's just Jabroni Pie he does like his pies after all but anyway. Simply electrifying what else is there to say?
2: Stone Cold - I Won't Do What You Tell Me!
Sorry just smashed a glass and hang on, there's a knock at my door......apologies for up and leaving you all suddenly a weird coincidence the minute i smash glass that Stone Cold E.T. shows up with Shark Boy. It was nice to see the two again but anyway if you want me to talk about STEVE AUSTIN gimmie a HELL YEAH! That's what i thought, That “OH SHIT, IT’S ABOUT TO GET REAL” sound meant you were about to see someone’s ass get kicked by The Rattlesnake himself. Austin, the main protagonist of pro wrestling’s most celebrated era, was a mean-mugging, shit-talking mad man who routinely threw wrenches into ultra-bad guy Vince McMahon’s evil plans and was always there to save the day. Like a modern-day bat signal, Austin’s entrance music didn’t just mean you were about to see a serious brawl, it meant everything was going to be alright.
1: HHH- The Game!
It’s not hard to point out that Triple H’s theme (played by Motörhead) is one of the best there is. But Lemmy’s voice gave an already credible star a boost into hall-of-fame presentation. With the recognizable legend’s voice at the helm, Triple H’s theme translated one thing: that he was an unparalleled star. As soon as his music hits, Triple H (also known as “The Game”) goes from a character who could hold championships to “final boss” type stuff. It was tough to put any as number 1 on my list but this stood out as number one when i was asked to name my list so i just had to put it here it's epic and it's all about the game and how you play it.
Aaaaaaaaand that's all folks, hope you enjoyed, let me know your faves and come back soon for more lists among other things.
Stay Shiny!
