On WWE’s Friday Night Smackdown, The Rock announced groundbreaking news that WrestleMania 42 will occur in New Orleans in 2026. Before dishing out that exclusive, the self-proclaimed Final Boss walked out to his new entrance theme featuring Louisiana’s favorite son, Lil Wayne.
The Rock’s new theme is a mash-up of Wayne’s popular 1999 song “The Block Is Hot,” featuring his Hot Boys cohorts B.G. and Juvenile. For The Rock, this isn’t the first time he’s aligned himself with hip-hop royalty. In 2000, Wyclef Jean teamed with The Rock for “It Doesn’t Matter,” playing off The Great One’s cogent catchphrase. Then, in 2021, The Rock delivered a tongue-twister of a verse for Tech N9ne’s “Face Off.”
As for Wayne, he continues to be a staple in WWE. Last year, at WrestleMania 40, he escorted popular WWE Superstar Jey Uso inside Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. There, Wayne did a mash-up of his Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “A Milli” alongside Uso’s popular entrance theme song “Main Event Ish.”
“We all grew up on Wayne in the late ’90s and early 2000s,” Uso told Billboard earlier this month for the Sports & Music issue. “I’m talking about when he was with Hot Boys and all that. It’s crazy how life comes full-circle.” Before they walked out, Uso even cajoled Wayne into wearing some Uso merchandise: “He was real dope and cool with everything. He asked if I needed anything from him, and I said, ‘Sh–, brother. Can you wear these “YEET” glasses for me? Here, put these on.’ “
