At this year's WWE Royal Rumble, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny graced the ThunderDome to perform his hit song Booker T. Music and WWE often go hand-in-hand, and Bad Bunny's appearance is not the first time that fans have been treated to a special musical performance.
Over the years, fans have seen many musicians play guest spots at big WWE events, and on some occasions, even play Superstars down to the ring before huge matches.
Before delving into these five memorable music moments, here are some honorable mentions:
Josiah Williams of Wrestle and Flow raps Adam Cole to the stage at NXT TakeOver: XXV
Living Color played CM Punk to the ring at WrestleMania 29
Joan Jett played Ronda Rousey to the ring at WrestleMania 35
Aleister Black is played to the ring by Code Orange on NXT
#5 WWE NXT - Poppy plays Io Shirai to the ring
Poppy is a performer who is no stranger to WWE NXT. The singer and her band have played on NXT a number of times, including opening up TakeOver: Portland at the Moda Center in February 2020 with performances of Fill the Crown and Anything Like Me from her popular album I Disagree.
Most recently, Poppy was a special guest at NXT Halloween Havoc back in October 2020, where she played Women's Champion Io Shirai to the ring with a performance of Scary Mask before her title match against Candice LeRae.
However, the isn't the first time that Poppy has accompanied Io Shirai to the ring. On an October 2019 episode of NXT, Poppy played Io Shirai in with a rendition of Scary Mask. Before this, Poppy's music has been used previously in Io Shirai promo videos made by NXT, and one documenting her 2019 heel turn was soundtracked by Scary Mask.
#4 WWE WrestleMania X-Seven- Motorhead played Triple H to the ring
It's no secret that WWE mainstay Triple H is a huge Motorhead fan, and the band has even put together a number of the multiple-time champions past entrance themes.
At WrestleMania X-Seven, all the stops were pulled out, and the band themselves came to the main stage to play The Game down to the ring for his match against The Undertaker, with a rendition of... The Game, of course.
The performance of The Game wasn't one of Motorheads strongest performances. Lead singer Lemmy tripped up on some of his own lyrics, but it was still a rendition that has stuck with WWE fans nonetheless, with Lemmy memorably opening the with: "We're Motorhead, and we're gonna kick your ass!".
Despite the big entrance for Triple H, the star failed to end the Undertakers streak, leaving it at 9-0 by the end of the night.
Motorhead returned to play in Triple H for his entrance two years later at WrestleMania 19, but it is their performance at X-Seven that has stayed with fans years later.
#3 WWE WrestleMania XIX - Limp Bizkit played in The Undertaker
In the early 2000s, Limp Bizkit was a band very much accosted with WWE. In 2000, their hit single Rollin' was debuted as the new entrance song for The Undertaker during his biker gimmick, and their song My Way was used in promo packages for The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania X-Seven, a promo package that is still very much talked about today.
As well as this, Limp Bizkit's frontman, Fred Durst even appeared as a playable character in a handful of WWE games.
By the time WrestleMania XIX rolled around, The Undertaker was still in his biker era, but his theme had been changed to You're Gonna Pay. This didn't stop Limp Bizkit from putting out all of the stops to play The Undertaker down to the ring for his match against Big Show and A-Train with a rendition of Rollin', as the star drove down to the ring on his famous motorbike.
Not content with playing for The Undertaker, Limp Bizkit played again after Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels and were even dubbed: "WWE's favorite band".
#2 WWE WrestleMania 32 - Snoop Dogg rapped Sasha Banks to the ring
At WWE WrestleMania 32, Sasha Banks faced Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch in a Triple Threat match for the Divas Championship. However, this title was retired by WWE Hall of Famer Lita at the start of the event and replaced with the new WWE Women's Championship (which was later rebranded into the WWE RAW Women's Championship with the introduction of an equivalent for SmackDown).
The night was made extra special for Sasha Banks, as she was joined by her real-life cousin Snoop Dogg who rapped along her entrance song, making her WrestleMania moment a family affair.
Snoop Dogg himself has been a part of the wrestling world for some time, and the star was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame the night before WrestleMania 32 and most recently appeared on an episode of AEW Dynamite.
Sasha Banks was unsuccessful against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch in the historic match, but her musical entrance with Snoop Dogg was one of the most memorable moments of the night.
#1 WWE WrestleMania 34 - Nita Strauss played Shinsuke Nakamura to the ring
2018 was a big year in WWE for former Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura. He began the year by emerging victorious at the Royal Rumble match in January and chose AJ Styles as his WrestleMania opponent.
Even before joining WWE, Shinsuke Nakamura was a huge global talent, and well known on the international wrestling scene, especially in his native Japan.
WWE pulled out all the stops for the WrestleMania 34 entrance for Shinsuke Nakamura. For his entry into the WWE Championship match, popular guitarist Nita Strauss played his theme, The Rising Sun, as he came to challenge AJ Styles.
Nita Strauss is one of the most successful female guitarists in the world and plays as Alice Cooper's touring guitarist. Strauss is also a huge fan of WWE. Her music has been used for other company events, including her song Marinara Trench being the theme of NXT TakeOver: WarGames in 2018, and her and fellow guitarist Lzzy Hale played at WWE Evolution also.
