On the May 12 episode of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley walked to the ring for his IWGP US Title match against Yuji Nagata with "Wild Thing" by Troggs playing over the speakers.
Tony Khan has proven that he will pony up to the rights for theme music for certain stars, previously getting the right to “Tarzan Boy” by Baltimora for Jungle Boy and “Where Is My Mind?” by Pixies for Orange Cassidy.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Khan said Moxley will continue to use "Wild Thing," but it will be a different version.
"He did not know I had Wild Thing. I got the Major League version. It's cool and important, the Nagata match is something we'll always remember with Troggs, the classic version, it was perfect for that night. Jon didn't know it was coming and the adrenaline coming in, he didn't think about it much," said Khan.
What a WILD way to kick things off tonight on #AEWDynamite! @nagata769 v. @JonMoxley for the IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Championship!
