Rev Theory's Julien Jorgensen comments on Randy Orton's return at WWE Survivor Series 2023.
Ahead of Orton's return at WWE Survivor Series, Rev Theory released a new version of "Voices," which had fans speculating that Orton was preparing to make his return despite it not being announced. Orton had been sidelined since June 2022 with a back injury.
Speaking on the High Spot Podcast, Rev Theory guitarist Julien Jorgensen explained why they re-recorded the song at the time.
"It just so happened that I literally said, 'I want to re-record this song.' I hadn't watched wrestling for a few years. I had no idea Randy was even hurt. I had no idea what was going on. I just said to myself, 'this song needs to be better. It needs a new version.' That's how I felt. Whatever was guiding that just so happened to line up. I wish I could tell you we knew, but it's almost crazier that we didn't know. Once we released it, everyone was like, 'Do they know something?' We were like, 'Yeah, do we know something? Shit. We should start trolling ourselves.' So we did. We started trolling ourselves and we thought it was hilarious. People thought we knew and we were in on it. I hate to break it to people, but it makes it more fun the fact that we had no idea and it was an inner vision that pushed that to come out. It's a greater picture thing. We get pushed and moved to do certain things beyond our control and it just so happened that it lined up because of that. I didn't overthink it because we didn't know something. We weren't let in on it and we rode that all the way until it came out. We were like, 'Is he done? He might be done. We don't know if he's coming back.' He came back and jacked. He looked awesome. We couldn't have been happier," he said.
Orton previously revealed that he was behind his theme song potentially changing for his return.
