The band had a lot of successful hits over the years, and Young was pivotal to a lot of it.

Over the years, Young’s AC/DC developed a relationship with Vince McMahon’s WWE. For the 1998 edition of Summerslam, the band allowed the company to use their ‘Highway to Hell’ hit as the PPV’s theme song.

An interesting note is that when Eric Bischoff made his shocking debut on RAW back in 2002, WWE originally used AC/DC’s ‘Back in Black’ song. However, WWE did not continue to use it as Bischoff’s theme after.

WrestleMania 25 saw WWE use the two AC/DC songs “War Machine” and “Shoot to Thrill” as the show’s theme songs.
