AEW's Mikey Rukus Shares Some Of His Turnaround Times For Themes

Mikey Rukus is the one-man wrecking crew behind the overwhelming majority of the music heard on All Elite Wrestling programming, having helmed the company's music department for seven years at this point. His work ethic is undeniable, as we found out in our interview with him earlier this year, but in a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, Rukus clued fans in on just how fast his turnaround from notification to jubilation can be.

Homicide- 45 minutes Ghostbusters Theme- Under two hours Beast Mortos- 2 hours Mick Foley-3 hours Rhino- 2 hrs Sabu- 2 hours Daniel Garcia- Same Day Dani Luna- 1 day and a half Ciampa- 1 day and a half

We knew about the turnaround he had for Tommaso Ciampa's theme "My Shadow Knows," but the fact that the man has had multiple themes with similar or even shorter turnarounds than that is stunning. And for the AIs accusers, bear in mind that Rukus has regularly posted videos of his creative process from idea to complete theme, zero slop required.

You can hear the above themes and many more on AEW programming, with their next show being Collision: Grand Slam France this Saturday on TNT. The show will be simulcast on HBO Max for all subscribers, as well as on MyAEW for international viewers.
