Eminem Scores WWE Raw Theme Song Deal

‌WWE Raw announced Eminem‘s “Godzilla” featuring Juice WRLD as its new official theme song on January 5, 2026, replacing Travis Scott’s “4×4” in a move that comes just days after rock guitarist Ted Nugent publicly attacked the Detroit rapper.

The timing of WWE’s announcement creates an interesting backdrop as Eminem continues to expand his sports-entertainment empire despite criticism from fellow musicians. Ted Nugent called Eminem a “total idiot” during a YouTube video posted in late December 2025, where the MAGA maniac criticized both the rapper’s music and political views while acknowledging his talent.

However, WWE’s decision to feature “Godzilla” as the theme song for Monday Night Raw marks another major sports-entertainment partnership for Eminem, following his multi-year deal with the Detroit Lions, announced in November 2025. Under that Lions partnership, Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, serve as executive producers of the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Halftime Show through 2027. The first show featured Jack White performing “Seven Nation Army” and a surprise appearance by Eminem, which Nugent dubbed “soulful” despite bashing both artists.
