Rock music is a broad genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in the United States in the early 1950s, and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later, particularly in the United Kingdom and in the United States. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style which drew heavily on the genres of blues, rhythm and blues, and from country music. Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical and other musical styles. Musically, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass, drums, and one or more singers. Usually, rock is song-based music usually with a 4/4 time signature using a verse–chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse. Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political.
World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., d/b/a WWE, is an American integrated media and entertainment company that is primarily known for professional wrestling. WWE has also branched out into other fields, including movies, real estate, and various other business ventures.
History
"Line in the Sand" was recorded in May 2003 for the newly formed allianceEvolution, consisting of Triple H, Ric Flair, Batista and Randy Orton. The song was recorded by Motörhead, the band, who has also sung two of Triple H's entrance themes, "The Game" and "King of Kings". The song became the entrance theme for the stable. It used to be the entrance when 2-4 members came to the ring together. During a one-on-one match, Triple H, Flair and Batista would each use their own entrances, while Orton would also use "Line in the Sand" as his entrance, until he was kicked out of the group in August 2004. The song was included in WWE's 2004soundtrack album, ThemeAddict: The Music, Vol. 6. The group continued the use of the song, until its end in 2005.

A compilation album comprises tracks, which may be previously released or unreleased, usually from several separate recordings by either one or several performers. If by one artist, then generally the tracks were not originally intended for release together as a single work, but may be collected together as a greatest hits album or box set. If from several performers, there may be a theme, topic, time period, or genre which links the tracks, or they may have been intended for release as a single work—such as a tribute album. When the tracks are by the same recording artist, the album may be referred to as a retrospective album or an anthology.
Raw Greatest Hits: The Music is a compilation album released by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on December 18, 2007. It features theme-music of Raw roster-members of the time - as well as that of former members.
The song was used once more on the April 14, 2014 episode of Raw, when Orton, Triple H, and Batista reunited the stable once more in a post-match confrontation with the Shield.
