Rappers That Did Songs For Pro Wrestlers

Hip-hop and professional wrestling have always shared a flair for showmanship, swagger, and larger-than-life personalities.

Over the years, a number of rappers have lent their voices to help wrestlers make unforgettable entrances. From iconic tracks that defined a superstar’s persona to hidden gems that fans discovered years later, these collaborations show how rap and wrestling collide to create moments that stick in your memory.

We break down some of the rapper-backed entrance themes in pro wrestling:

Tessa Blanchard: “Undeniable Forever” by Krystall Poppin

Tessa Blanchard’s current entrance theme, “Undeniable Forever,” is performed by Texas-based rapper and singer Krystall Poppin.

The song made its debut as Blanchard’s new theme during TNA Genesis, where Krystall personally walked her to the ring, instantly giving the moment a big fight feel.

The track blends her signature rap delivery with melodic hooks, perfectly capturing Blanchard’s confident, no-nonsense presence in the ring. It even flexes one of Tessa’s biggest accolades, referencing her history-making run as the first female world heavyweight champion.

And honestly, Krystall doesn’t come off like someone just doing a feature, she feels tapped into the culture. She’s been spotted alongside Thunder Rosa and The Hardy Boyz during her time around TNA iMPACT!, and even popped up in clips rocking an LWO hoodie while rapping.

She’s even crossed over into boxing, walking out Stephanie Han for her fight against Holly Holm. So it’s probably safe to say, she’s not just part of the presentation, she’s a fan too.

Victoria: “Don’t Mess With” by Nicki Minaj

In 2004, WWE superstar Victoria (Lisa Marie Varon) debuted her second WWE entrance theme, “Don’t Mess With”. Ironically, it featured vocals from a then-unknown Nicki Minaj, who performed under the name Nicki Maraj.

Nicki Minaj recorded the track as part of the group The Hood$tarz, which included Safaree Samuels and WWE composer Jim Johnston. The group then released the song on the compilation album WWE: ThemeAddict, Vol. 6 in November 2004.

Victoria was unaware that the rapper on her theme was Nicki Minaj until fans pointed it out years later. This came long after Minaj had become a global superstar.

Hurt Syndicate: “The Hurt Syndicate” by MVP, Smoke DZA & Westside Gunn

“The Hurt Syndicate” (also known as “We Hurt People”) serves as the official entrance theme for the AEW stable Hurt Syndicate, featuring MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin.

The track is performed by MVP, Smoke DZA, and Westside Gunn, and was produced by Cartune Beatz with MVP as executive producer. It was officially released as a single on November 7, 2024.

While MVP and Shelton Benjamin debuted in AEW in late September and early October, the full Hurt Syndicate stable, including Bobby Lashley, solidified their presence with this theme during their dominant run on AEW Dynamite.

And it’s catchy as f**k.

Sasha Banks: “Sky’s the Limit (Remix)” featuring Snoop Dogg

“Sky’s the Limit (Remix)” is the fifth WWE entrance theme for Sasha Banks, featuring her real-life cousin Snoop Dogg. The remix debuted as her official theme on the November 8, 2019 episode of SmackDown.

Although the official remix debuted in 2019, Snoop Dogg had earlier performed a live version of her original theme at WrestleMania 32 on April 3, 2016. The studio version was officially released as a single on March 20, 2020.

Produced by CFO$, the track features Snoop Dogg customizing the lyrics to highlight Banks as the “Legit Boss.”

Since moving to AEW, the now Mercedes Moné has taken the mic for herself, performing her current entrance theme, “CEO.” A known fan of Nicki Minaj, Moné has long drawn inspiration from that bad b**ch energy, which has helped shape her character over the years.

Because of that, this crossover into music was almost inevitable.

Ricky Sosa: “Sosa” by 40000 Gang

French rap collective 40000 Gang, from Boulogne-Billancourt, created “Sosa” in 2014, drawing inspiration from the Chicago drill scene. Over a decade later, the track found new life in wrestling when Ricky Sosa used it as his entrance theme in Khao Wrestling.

The song’s catchy chant, “Bang Bang, Sosa Sosa,” quickly caught on with fans. It helped Sosa make his TNA Wrestling debut in March 2026, turning the track into a viral wrestling anthem.

It’s not often that wrestlers get to keep their entrance music when they move to promotions with major TV deals. So the fact that Sosa has been able to do that, is special in itself.

Sosa hails from Pro Wrestling Holland, the same scene where WWE Superstar Aleister Black trained, which already puts him in strong company. Could Sosa be the next breakout from PWH? All signs point to yes, and he looks well on his way.

AJ Styles: “You Don’t Want None” by Stevie Stone

“You Don’t Want None” is the official entrance theme for AJ Styles, featuring vocals from rapper Stevie Stone and produced by WWE’s music group Def Rebel.

Styles debuted the track on the April 12, 2024 episode of SmackDown as part of his “lone wolf” character evolution leading up to Backlash France. WWE made the studio version available on major streaming platforms on May 3, 2024.

Swerve Strickland: “Big Pressure” by Sw3rve The Realest & Flash Garments

“Big Pressure” is one of the most recognizable entrance themes in AEW. Swerve Strickland performs the track himself under his rap name, Sw3rve The Realest, alongside Flash Garments.

The original version debuted on March 11, 2022, and it didn’t take long to catch on. It quickly became a fan favorite, especially with Prince Nana’s dance. And let’s be real, at some point, everybody has gotten up from the couch and tried doing it…

The track evolved over time. The original single was released in March 2022. Later, the Big Pressure Remix came out on October 20, 2023, which was used during his dominant run. Then, the Big Pressure Trill Mix, featuring hip-hop legends Bun B and Westside Gunn, dropped on August 7, 2024.

In December 2025, Swerve updated his entrance music with a new theme titled “Hit Different”. It featured Raekwon, reflecting his character’s evolution after a hiatus.

Mark Henry: “Some Bodies Gonna Get It” by Three 6 Mafia

“Some Bodies Gonna Get It” by Three 6 Mafia served as the entrance theme for professional wrestler Mark Henry from 2006 to 2021.

In an interview with Anthony Lonetti, Henry revealed that Jim Johnson asked him what kind of music he listened to. Henry said he mostly listened Hip-Hop and R&B. Around the time Three 6 Mafia won an Oscar, Jim was able to get in touch with them to create the song.

Henry has said that the lyrics resonated with his upbringing, making it a perfect fit for his persona in the ring.

Trish Stratus: “Time to Rock & Roll” by Lil’ Kim

“Time to Rock & Roll” is the iconic entrance theme for Trish Stratus, performed by Lil’ Kim. Like several others on the list, WWE music director Jim Johnston composed the song.

Stratus debuted the song in 2002 as she transitioned from manager to serious in-ring competitor. The track helped establish one of the first high-profile collaborations between WWE and a mainstream hip-hop artist.

It was made specifically for Trish Stratus and is instantly recognizable for the signature giggle at the very beginning, a sound that immediately signals to the crowd that Stratus has arrived.

WWE released the song on the Anthology compilation album on November 12, 2002.
