Mikey Rukus is no stranger to wrestling fans. Rukus is known for producing music for professional wrestlers and MMA fighters. He is currently the music producer for Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling.
According to Fightful Select, Rukus had to create several theme songs on short notice. One of the instances involved producing the theme song for Erick Redbeard, formerly known as Erick Rowan.
Recently, the former Erick Rowan, now known as Erick Redbeard popped up in AEW. AEW music producer Mikey Rukus had to produce a song on short notice the day of his return and put together something before the show.
However, Tony Khan preferred a different song and they decided to use the quickly produced theme at some point down the line. However, they had to get the theme that Redbeard used cleared before television, which led to them hunting down who produced the song. They were able to do that, and the theme Redbeard ended up using actually wasn’t a Rukus production.
Rukus also had to produce the All Out entrance track for Lucha Bros. at the last minute. The AEW music producer said he had no idea Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole were debuting at said pay-per-view event and was working on their music on mere assumption that they were coming in.
Another last minute situation was the Lucha Bros. entrance the week of All Out. That week, Rukus had to produce music for Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole, and was asked by Alex Abrahantes if he wanted to perform alongside Lucha Bros for the entrance.
Rukus said he hadn’t even gotten official word that Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole were coming in, and was just working on their theme music because he assumed that they were coming in. He put over Sandra, the AEW seamstress for making sure that he looked okay before going out.
We’ll have to see what kind of music Rukus has to compose next, but he very well might have to work fast in the future as well.
