The Weeknd’s track “Timeless” with Playboi Carti has been confirmed as the official theme song for WrestleMania 41, marking the sixth consecutive year of The Weeknd headlining WWE’s biggest event. The collaboration is driven by The Weeknd’s manager, a huge wrestling fan, who has been instrumental in the ongoing partnership. The combination of The Weeknd’s cinematic sound and WWE’s production has made this annual collaboration feel destined, with the music enhancing the grandeur of WrestleMania. The ongoing streak of The Weeknd’s involvement in WrestleMania has sparked discussions about whether it’s time for a new artist to take the spotlight or if The Weeknd has rightfully earned his place in the event’s soundtrack.
