With WrestleMania 37 just two days away now, WWE has moved to announce a musical performance from Wale at this year’s Showcase of the Immortals.

A long-time wrestling fan, Wale will perform Big E’s Feel the Power theme song during the second night of WrestleMania 37. E will of course be defending his Intercontinental Championship against Apollo Crews in a Nigerian Drum Match at the Grandaddy of Them All.

So much a fan of the pro wrestling business is he, Wale hosts his own WaleMania every year. That annual event sees the worlds of sports entertainment and hip-hop coming together. Having appeared on WWE TV several times, Wale's most famous WWE appearance was likely in the rap battle between The New Day and The Usos in 2017.

Wale joins Ash Costello as musical acts that WWE has now confirmed for WrestleMania 37. Costello will be performing Rhea Ripley’s Brutality theme as the Nightmare goes up against Raw Women’s Champion Asuka on Night 2 of ‘Mania.

Whether WWE announces any other musical acts for WrestleMania 37 remains to be seen, although any such announcements will be cutting it extremely fine, with this year’s ‘Mania emanating from Raymond James Stadium this coming weekend.
