Kit Wilson had a lot of input in his theme song.
The WWE star recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. He discussed things such as the formation of Pretty Deadly, their start in the company, his partner's neck injury and more.
When asked about his new theme becoming popular among fans, Wilson noted that they wanted the song to be catchy so that it would click with people:
“Yeah, it’s super catchy. That was what I was going for. That was what I was hoping for. I didn’t think I realized how catchy it was going to be, and how much it’s kind of clicked on and sat with people, but I’m not complaining.”
Having been added to Spotify only last month, the tune called Man Up has already received over half a million hits. When asked how much input he had in the creation of it, Kit Wilson revealed that it was actually he who pushed for the new music once he found out that he would be entering singles' competition due to Elton Prince's injury. Once it was approved, he started discussing the tune with Def Rebel and gave them several ideas:
“So I ended up having a fair amount of input. I was pushing for new music when I kind of found out what the situation was going to be and maybe I was going to go solo, I started messaging a lot, saying I would love new music. Can I get new music? Then eventually I got into contact with Neil, I believe, and then he called me. We had little discussion on the phone. He said, ‘What kind of thing are you looking for?’ So I said, ‘Can I send you an email?’ Got off the phone, and I started writing this email, just with all my references, with all the songs I like, with all the ideas I had."
Wilson also noted that he had wrestled a number of matches on Main Event in the second half of 2025. This allowed him to continue tuning in his presentation, including not only his theme but his entrance graphics as well before he started using it on SmackDown.
