With this year’s WWE Royal Rumble PPV now only a matter of days away, WWE has moved to announce a musical performance for this Sunday’s event.

In an official press release, WWE confirmed that rapper Bad Bunny will perform his hit single 'Booker T' at the Rumble. And yes, for those unaware, that song is indeed a tribute to the two-time WWE Hall of Famer, with Booker T even appearing in the video for the song.

On this news, Bad Bunny himself enthused, “Performing at the Royal Rumble is a childhood dream come true. I have been a lifelong fan of WWE and I am excited to take the stage and entertain fans around the world.”

Sunday will mark the first live performance of the Booker T single, which is taken from Bad Bunny’s El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo album.

For those not familiar with Bad Bunny, he ranked as Spotify’s #1 artist globally of 2020, and he also has several Latin Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards to his name.

WWE Royal Rumble 2021 takes place from Tropicana Field, with WWE Drew McIntyre vs. Goldberg and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing Match currently announced in addition to the traditional men’s and women’s Royal Rumble contests.

With tonight's WWE Raw the go-home red brand offering ahead of the Royal Rumble PPV, more matches will likely be announced for Sunday over the next few hours.
