WWE has officially introduced Eminem’s “Godzilla” feat. Juice WRLD as the new theme song for Monday Night Raw. The track debuted on the January 5, 2026 episode.
This move replaces Travis Scott’s “4×4”, which served as the show’s intro theme for one year, following Raw’s historic launch on Netflix in early 2025.

Eminem steps into the ring
“Godzilla”, first released in January 2020 on “Music to Be Murdered By”, already carried strong wrestling energy. The track includes a shoutout to legendary WWE manager Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and even references “wrestling with mania”.
Now it powers Raw’s weekly broadcast, blending the ferocity of Slim Shady with the spectacle of WWE.
This isn’t Eminem’s first tie-in with wrestling either. In 2014, you could hear his track “Legacy” in promotional spots for WrestleMania 30, particularly during the build-up to the John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt match.
The Juice WRLD connection
“Godzilla” also holds a place in hip hop history for Juice WRLD’s posthumous feature and Eminem’s record-setting final verse. In just 31 seconds, Eminem delivers 224 words. It is one of the fastest verses ever recorded. In fact, “Godzilla” is in the Guinness Book as the fastest rap in a No.1 single. However, Eminem did not manage to surpass his own achievement. “Rap God” still holds the record for the most words in a hit single (1,560 words in 6 minutes, 4 seconds).
Juice WRLD, who died in late 2019, adds a melodic hook that contrasts Em’s lyrical assault, giving the track an emotional edge. WWE’s choice to feature “Godzilla” on Raw brings his voice to a new weekly audience.
Travis Scott out, Slim Shady in
Travis Scott’s “4×4” became Raw’s theme in January 2025. Scott even walked Jey Uso to the ring during the show’s Netflix premiere.
But now, one year later, Raw leans back into Detroit energy. Clearly, Slim Shady’s relentless intensity is a perfect match for the red brand’s fast-paced action.
