WrestleMania 41 Sunday continues to stack up major moments, and now fans can expect a metal performance to match the chaos.
According to Fightful Select, Slayer is scheduled to perform Damian Priests entrance at the event, adding another layer of spectacle to his Sin City Street Fight against Drew McIntyre.
The legendary thrash metal bands inclusion was planned by WWE in connection to Priests upcoming role hosting a Slayer concert later this year. Given Priests long-standing association with heavy metal and his intense in-ring persona, the collaboration aligns closely with his characters presentation on WWE programming.
Slayers performance is expected to set the tone for one of the most physical matches of the night. Priest and McIntyres rivalry has escalated for months, with WrestleMania 41 marking their biggest showdown to date.
