Wild and Young wasn't a song I really liked and wouldn't consider a wrestling theme, but it worked and meshed well with how they used it. If they can do that with this, then cool, but I doubt it.
Also, you have to consider the WWE's target audience.

Kids, women and kids entering their teens.

Alt Punk is all good for them, especially the latter. Papa Roach and Nickelback are other examples. Their music appeals to them, a lot of the WWE's target audience, are also fans of theirs and Alt Punk.

Marilyn Manson and The Union Underground and the Hard Rock genre may been seen as "too rough and angry" or whatever by the WWE for their target audience.
