WWE Wreckless Intent is a compilation album released by WWE on May 23, 2006. The album is the sequel to the previously released WWF Forceable Entry, and like its predecessor it featured rock and metal artists performing versions of the wrestlers' entrance themes. A noted change with this album compared to the Forceable Entry album is the incorporation of rap and hip-hop artists (similar to the format used on the WWF Aggression album) doing versions of entrance themes as well as providing additional original tracks. This also marks as one of the last WWE albums being released by Columbia Records.

Tego Calderón, Avenged Sevenfold, John Cena, and Chunk were at one point mentioned to be artists featured on the album. Due to creative differences, Chunk did not make it onto the final track listing.{{cite web |title=WWE Takes "Big Time" Approach to Marketing Blitz for WrestleMania 22 |publisher=WWE.com |url=http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_03_07.jsp |access-date=2006-03-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140313005337/http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_03_07.jsp |archive-date=March 13, 2014 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}{{cite web |title=WWE Launches The WWE Music Group, Neil Lawi Named General Manager |publisher=WWE.com |url=http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_03_27.jsp |access-date=2006-03-27 |archive-date=March 19, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080319093118/http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2006/2006_03_27.jsp |url-status=dead }} Disturbed was originally approached for making a new theme for Triple H, but Motörhead made the final cut.{{cite web |title=Life Is Sweet For Disturbed—Apart From A Little Acid Reflux |publisher=MTV.com |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1513924/20051116/story.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060415224330/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1513924/20051116/story.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 15, 2006 |access-date=2005-11-16}}

Avenged Sevenfold recorded a cover of Pantera's "Walk" for the album, but it was cut and later released on the Kerrang! compilation.

The song "Rise Up 2006!" performed by former Drowning Pool lead singer Ryan McCombs is a remake of "Rise Up!", performed by Jason "Gong" Jones and featured on the WWE ThemeAddict: The Music, Vol. 6 album.
