Fozzy made "Judas" both the title track and the first single of their 2017 album, and it's the one that stuck. Rich Ward produced it and wrote it with Johnny Lee Andrews and Justin Cordle, and Chris Jericho sings it over a chorus clearly built for big rooms. It climbed to 5 on the US Mainstream Rock chart, topped Sirius/XM's Octane chart, drew a Loudwire Music Awards nomination for Hard Rock Song of the Year, and in 2022 went gold, the band's first and so far only RIAA certification.
Wrestling kept it in the air. It served as the official theme of NXT TakeOver: Chicago, and Jericho, who fronts the band, walks out to it in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling. At AEW All In: London in 2023, Fozzy played it live for his entrance in front of 80,000 people, then did it again at the 2024 edition.
