WWE and music have shared a long, deep history through the years, some would say it’s like a rock ‘n sock connection. It’s fair to say that without music, the world of pro wrestling wouldn’t be nearly as electrifying, especially with the unforgettable entrance theme songs that have resonated with our childhood. From humming John Cena’s theme song to striking Randy Orton’s pose to diving off the bed to Jeff Hardy’s “No More Words,” ready to hit a finisher on a pillow, music and wrestling go together like an insane tag team with great chemistry.

But it’s not just entrance themes; live musical performances have become a WrestleMania tradition in their own right. Over the years, WWE’s grandest stage has welcomed some of the biggest names in music, from legendary rock bands to chart-topping hip-hop artists, each adding their flair to the spectacle.

Billboard Philippines rounds up some of the best musical performances at the Showcase of the Immortals, from Motörhead perfectly capturing the raw, intense aura of Triple H in the early 2000s to Snoop Dogg rapping his cousin Sasha Banks’ entrance theme on the way to the ring.

Living Colour perform CM Punk’s entrance theme, “Cult of Personality,” at WrestleMania 41

Although this list is unranked, we’re kicking it off with a more recent one. Just before one of the three men who stole the show at night one of WrestleMania 41, CM Punk walked down the ramp to his entrance theme, “Cult of Personality,” performed live by Living Colour. The self-proclaimed Best in the World finally got to achieve his lifelong dream of gracing the main event of the Grandest Stage of ‘Em All in a triple-threat affair with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins that’s one for the books. Although the band previously performed the song at WrestleMania 29 when Punk tried to end The Undertaker’s then-unbroken streak, the more recent one hit all the right notes in packing an entirely memorable and emotional moment.

Motörhead perform Triple H’s entrance theme, “The Game,” at WrestleMania X-Seven

Before he’s running things in the WWE as its Chief Content Officer, Triple H‘s run during the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression era often remembered him as a menace. Holding the world titles hostage most of his career, there’s no doubt that he was born to be at the top of the food chain. With WrestleMania X-Seven, regarded as the “pinnacle of the Attitude Era,” The Game walked out to his entrance theme being performed live by Motörhead.

Snoop Dogg performs Sasha Banks’ entrance theme, “Sky’s The Limit,” at WrestleMania 32

Snoop Dogg showing up in the WWE in 2008 at WrestleMania XXIV was not on everyone’s bucket list when it first happened. But a couple of years later at WrestleMania 32, the rapper’s appearance was more of a family thing when he performed a live version of his cousin Sasha Banks‘ entrance theme, which was historic as her first in-ring appearance at The Show of Shows. Banks, now going by the name Mercedes Moné in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), was part of the women’s revolution in the WWE during the mid-2010s, and her first WrestleMania moment was nothing short of a BO$$ moment.

Limp Bizkit perform The Undertaker’s entrance, “Rollin’,” at WrestleMania XIX

The early 2000s saw The Undertaker ditch the long black coat for a more rugged and rebellious look in his “The American Bad Ass” persona. To stray away from his usual supernatural character to become more grounded at the height of the Attitude Era, a fitting theme would be Limp Bizkit‘s rock-infused “Rollin’.” At WrestleMania XIX, with the odds stacked against him in a handicap match against the Big Show and A-Train, walking out to a live performance from Limp Bizkit signaled the WWE Hall of Famer a satisfying victory.

Rev Theory perform Randy Orton’s entrance theme, “Voices,” at WrestleMania XXX

When Randy Orton hears voices in his head, you know you’re in for something epic. The Viper’s long-tenured entrance theme, “Voices,” is hands-down one of the greatest of all time, with the new tradition of the crowds in attendance singing along. At WrestleMania XXX, Orton entered his WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense against fellow Evolution member Batista and underdog-slash-eventual-winner Daniel Bryan. No matter the outcome, Rev Theory made sure Orton entered the match with a memorable live performance.

Motionless in White perform Rhea Ripley’s entrance theme, “Demons In Your Dreams,” at WrestleMania XL

Rhea Ripley and Chris Motionless of the metalcore band Motionless in White may share an uncanny resemblance. The connection was even made sweeter when “The Eradicator” of the WWE entered her Women’s World Championship defense at WrestleMania XL, accompanied by a live performance of “Demon In Your Dreams.” Despite being in the world of professional wrestling, the band didn’t feel out of place, as it even looked like they were an extension of Ripley’s character.

The Philadelphia School District All-City Orchestra perform Roman Reigns’ entrance theme, “I Am Greatness,” at WrestleMania XL

Roman Reigns entering the ring is the exact definition of aura. From the slow walk to the choir and orchestral sounding of the entrance theme, “The Tribal Chief” is a whole ‘nother level when it comes to WWE’s modern-day entrances. WrestleMania XL is no exception, as he entered the ring with The Philadelphia School District All-City Orchestra, having an opportunity of a lifetime performing a choir intro. The main event went down as one of the greatest of all time, and the entrance made everything more memorable.

Nita Strauss performs Shinsuke Nakamura’s entrance theme, “The Rising Sun,” at WrestleMania 34

Shinsuke Nakamura, WWE’s resident “King of Strong Style,” entered his dream match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 34 with an epic guitar solo intro from Nita Strauss. Complementing his arsenal of wrestling moves and a killer finisher, his entrance theme, “The Rising Sun,” stands on its own and made him a dangerous superstar in the WWE locker room at the time. Nakamura may not return to form during his heyday in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), but we can all agree that his entrance theme is one to boot.

Pitbull, Flo Rida, LunchMoney Lewis, and Stephen Marley perform “Greenlight” at WrestleMania 33

The stars aligned at WrestleMania 33 when Pitbull, Flo Rida, LunchMoney Lewis, and Stephen Marley performed “Greenlight,” the official theme song of WrestleMania 33. The 2018 edition of WWE’s premier event boasts one of, if not the best, stage designs, exemplifying to the fullest its theme of being “The Ultimate Thrill Ride.” Of course, the aforementioned performers added to the whole spectacle of it all.

San Francisco Taiko Dojo perform Sting’s entrance theme, “Out From The Shadows,” at WrestleMania 31

One of pro wrestling’s greats isn’t nicknamed “The Icon” for nothing. It’s a shame that Sting only competed in one WrestleMania, 2015’s WrestleMania 31, to be exact. More known during his time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Sting didn’t hold back with his entrance for his first and only appearance at the show. The WWE Hall of Famer tapped San Francisco Taiko Dojo to perform the drums for his entrance theme, “Out From The Shadows,” before facing Triple H.

P.O.D. perform Rey Mysterio’s entrance theme, “Booyaka 619,” at WrestleMania 22

An iconic entrance, an iconic wrestling attire, and an iconic triple-threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship, WWE’s luchador Rey Mysterio had it all at WrestleMania 22. Before winning the world title, the Master of the 619 entered the ring with a live performance of his entrance theme from the metal band P.O.D. The night ended in bittersweet fashion when Mysterio won the title as a tribute to his late friend and fellow WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero, who passed away in November 2005.
