Rumor Roundup (Aug. 20, 2026): Triple H not hiring Vince’s guy, AEW star cleared, Lesnar return, more!

Is there any chance that Jim Johnston will return to WWE to save it from Def Rebel’s crappy music? Let’s see what today’s rumors have to say about it! Top rumor of the day: Triple H is not hiring Vince McMahon’s guy There are plenty of longtime WWE fans who hate Def Rebel’s music and wish the company would bring back composer Jim Johnston, who wrote legendary theme songs for stars like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, and D-Generation X. Well, you shouldn’t hold your breath waiting for a reunion between WWE and Johnston. In a new interview with All Axxess Entertainment, Johnston said he doesn’t think WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque “is a very big fan” of his. “I think when he was coming 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. So, I think that’s why I’m not being asked to write themes anymore…I think the chances that Hunter’s gonna ask [for me to return] are close to zero.” Jo
