Justin Call Of Downstait Say Alex Riley’s Theme Was The Hardest To Write

Alex Riley used the theme “Say It To My Face” from 2011 to 2014. The theme was done by Downstait and Jim Johnston.

Speaking on Ropes N Riffs, Downstait guitarist Justin Call said it was the toughest theme to write.

“It was definitely that one. Say It To My Face, we were at Sean’s Lake and got the call Thursday. We flew out the next day, did the entire song over the weekend, and it debuted on Raw before we were able to get back from the airport. Jim’s process was he’ll send you a skeleton with kind of just some quick program drums and just him kind of one take vocals with all the lyrics written out and everything. And then you take that and turn it into something all your own,” he said.

Downstait has done themes for the likes of Cody Rhodes, Bishop Dyer, Matt Cardona, and more.

Alex Riley was released by WWE in 2016.
