WrestleMania 42’s second night was a massive event. The night was a big one, and that included the patriotic opening by a true pop superstar.
Joe Jonas kicked off WrestleMania 42 by singing the Star Spangled Banner. His rendition of the song was certainly memorable, and he joins a long history of people who have been on that stage to start the show of shows.
WrestleMania has a long tradition of opening with “America the Beautiful” or the national anthem, starting with Ray Charles at WrestleMania 2 and Aretha Franklin at WrestleMania 3, which set the standard for big-name performances.
Over the years, WWE kept bringing in major artists like Gladys Knight, Willie Nelson, John Legend, and Fantasia Barrino to lend their pipes to opening up WWE’s yearly showcase of the immortals.
The Jonas Brothers had a small connection with WWE over the years. They were fans and were seen at events and around talent, but they were never part of a storyline or match. Now Joe Jonas has cemented himself into WrestleMania history with this gig.
