Vert’s song ‘Just Wanna Rock’ recently hit the No.1 spot on the Hot Rap Songs Chart of Billboard. And his Mania performance was a nice way to celebrate this gigantic achievement. The Philadelphia native also kept up a long tradition of the who’s who of the music industry who have made an appearance at the marquee event.
WrestleMania has had a long history of association with singers
The very first edition of ‘The Showcase of Immortals’ featured a performance by Gene Okerlund. Since then, there have been many famous names that have graced wrestling fanatics with their presence.
Not only that, it has been common for performers to make their grand entrances while their theme songs are played by live bands.
Former WWE superstar CM Punk and the erstwhile Wyatt Family come to mind.
