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 Priest’s entrance at the event, adding another layer of spectacle to his Sin City Street Fight against Drew McIntyre.
The legendary thrash metal band’s inclusion was planned by WWE in connection to Priest’s upcoming role hosting a Slayer concert later this year. Given Priest’s long-standing association with heavy metal and his intense in-ring persona, the collaboration aligns closely with his character’s presentation on WWE programming.
Slayer’s performance is expected to set the tone for one of the most physical matches of the night. Priest and McIntyre’s rivalry has escalated for months, with WrestleMania 41 marking their biggest showdown to date.
WrestleMania 41 Sunday takes place April 20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The pre-show begins at 4 PM ET, with the main card starting at 7 PM ET. The event will stream live on Peacock in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
As a reminder, Ringside News has live play-by-play coverage of WrestleMania.
