With discussion of the future of WWE’s music department rampant, we know one name who will not be involved, as an AEW original has a new deal and will be remaining with the company. 

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has learned that AEW music producer Mikey Rukus recently agreed to a new deal with All Elite Wrestling, which will keep him with the company moving forward. Rukus has been a part of AEW since 2019, and produced a number of their most iconic themes. When details emerged regarding the future of WWE’s music division, a WWE source reached out to Fightful and confirmed that the company reached a new agreement with Rukus in recent months. 

In addition to the number of AEW themes Rukus produced, he’s worked on several for wrestlers outside the company. He’s also produced orchestral and 8-bit albums of AEW themes.

Good news! Rukus themes hit far more times then they dont imo

Cory Bradley

What a great hire. He's doing amazing work.

I'm glad to hear this. A majority of the themes he's created have been great.

MB

I remember Rukus originally working with Rev Pro before he started with AEW. The classic Dynamite theme sounded like an intro theme he did for them at the time.

SlickJonny

The wwe source reached out to confirm Mikey Rikus re-signed with them?

David C

One of the most important people at the company. Without Rukus it just wouldn’t feel like AEW.

Rincewind

He's been great for aew. I really appreciate his style and his work.

MrBigBadBean

Best themes in the game right now

Probably a “he’s not coming to replace def rebel bc he just re-signed with AEW” kinda thing

So WWE was trying to get Rukus? Is that what I am reading here?

It's a weird thing with Mikey Rukus, but I think his best themes are the ones for the jobbers, like "Grinding Gears" for The Factory, "Voel Die Vibe Vandag" for Angelico, and "The Pit" for Chaos Project.

Richman

He’s probably the best ever at creating unique wrestling themes that can be played in your car and it not be corny

Fuck yeah, huge win

My mans Mikey Ruckus remains All Elite!

Dragmire

Great!! Mikey is the best

Rukus is such a musical alchemist capable of working within so many genres seamlessly. Great to see, and further drives home the point that AEW puts a ton of value in music in wrestling.

It seems the implication is moreso that if they were, as recently reported, on the hunt for a new music supervisor that he, as someone with well received experience would be a natural candidate, if available.

AEW themes aren’t great either if we’re being honest

Chris Ferrell

This is great news. Rukus has done some good work. He's also great at interacting with fans and ramping up excitement.

I watch both Dynamite and Collision you can never distinguish have the themes from one another. Only a select few. The biggest theme AEW had was Judas, 2nd was Cody’s.

From the mid card down, you can never tell the difference between any of them and I watch both shows

Lynchman

Agreed. Most of the themes seem to make sense and Rukus loves the company and what he is doing. Very real energy.

That's a talent. Really drives home how important music is to professional wrestling.

I've never had one AEW talent complain about their theme. Across multiple regimes, at least two dozen from WWE have complained about theirs.

That’s fine, I’m talking about as a viewer. Not one mid card theme is catchy.
