Orange Cassidy has a problem most wrestlers would love to have: not one, but two iconic entrance themes, and he likes them both equally. Speaking to STL Sports Central in a new interview, the AEW star opened up about his theme song situation, revealing that he now alternates between two very expensive licensed tracks.

Orange Cassidy Theme Songs: Jefferson Starship’s Jane and Pixies’ Where Is My Mind
Cassidy’s original theme, the one he used long before joining AEW, is Jefferson Starship’s “Jane.” But when he arrived in AEW, the rights to the song could not be secured at first. AEW president Tony Khan stepped in with an alternative, suggesting The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind” instead, and the deal was done.
Then came the twist. Once Cassidy started using the Pixies track, Jefferson Starship came back to the table and cleared “Jane” for use as well. The result is a rare luxury in wrestling: two fully licensed, instantly recognizable entrance songs that Cassidy can switch between depending on the moment.
“So, I’m lucky because I have two songs that I alternate between,” Cassidy said. “They’re both equally, I like them both. They do the right thing for me in that moment.”
Why Orange Cassidy’s Two Theme Songs Both Work
The two songs could hardly be more different in feel, yet both fit Cassidy’s famously laid-back character. “Jane” carries the energy of his independent wrestling roots, while “Where Is My Mind” has become synonymous with his AEW run, soundtracking some of the biggest moments of his career.
Licensed music in wrestling is notoriously pricey, and keeping two major songs in rotation is no small expense, which is why Cassidy joked about both being “very expensive.” But for a performer whose entrance is such a big part of his act, the investment clearly pays off, with crowds reacting the moment either opening note hits.
Cassidy also recently discussed how he prepares for big matches in another interview, showing that even the most relaxed wrestler in AEW takes his craft seriously when the spotlight is brightest.
