A former WWE composer has revealed why he believes Triple H won’t bring him back to the company.
Jim Johnston discussed his relationship with Triple H. This was during a recent appearance on the All Axxess Podcast with Joe Bruen. He believes Triple H wanted to work with his own people when he moved into a behind-the-scenes role in WWE.
“I don’t think he’s a very big fan. He’s… I think, when he was coming into sort of out of wrestling into more of a behind-the-scenes role. He clearly wanted his own guys and he perceived me as Vince’s guy,” Johnston said.
Johnston believes that perception is one reason he is no longer asked to create entrance themes for WWE talent.
“I think that’s why I’m not being asked to write themes anymore,” he said.

Johnston was then asked whether he could see himself composing wrestling themes again in the future. He said he would be happy to do so, but does not expect WWE to reach out.
“I’d be happy to do it. But you have to be asked, and I think the chances that Paul’s going to ask are close to zero,” Johnston said. “That the WWE music group is going to call me up, I think is zero, and that the guy who’s currently doing the themes for WWE, I think is zero.”
“Why would you invite me in or invite somebody else in?” he added.
Johnston remains one of the most influential composers in WWE history, having created entrance themes for some of the company’s biggest stars and factions during his lengthy tenure.
His work included The Brood’s iconic entrance theme, while he also composed several of Triple H’s themes, including “My Time,” which The Game used during a pivotal period of his WWE career.
Johnston’s catalog also includes memorable themes for The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and numerous other WWE stars.
