The stars were out at WrestleMania 40.
The stars were out this weekend as WWE presented its 40th annual WrestleMania premium live event from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
In addition to the WWE Superstars, WrestleMania 40 also featured a stacked lineup of celebrity guests, some of whom held notable roles in the grand showcase.
Grammy-award-winning recording artist Coco Jones kicked off night one of the WrestleMania 40 festivities with a beautiful rendition of the United States National Anthem. Jones wasn’t the only musical act to appear this weekend, though, as the likes of Lil Wayne, Motionless In White, and The War and Treaty treated the audience to live performances as well.
While Motionless In White offered up live vocals for Rhea Ripley’s “Demon In Your Dreams” entrance song, rapper Lil-Wayne sang his popular single “A Milli” before accompanying Jey Uso to the ring for his match against twin brother, Jimmy Uso. Similar to Coco Jones, Grammy-nominated group The War and Treaty performed “God Bless America” ahead of WrestleMania night two.
WrestleMania 40 spectators were also surprised with the appearance of rapper and WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg, who assumed double duty on night two. After providing special guest commentary in the six-man Philadelphia Street Fight, Snoop later announced the attendance numbers for night two while surrounded by the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders and mascot.
The recently retired Jason Kelce also emerged on the WrestleMania 40 stage, as he and former Eagles teammate Lane Johnson, helped Rey Mysterio and Andrade prevail over Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio on night one.
YouTuber IShowSpeed found himself in a precarious position as he came face-to-face with “The Viper” Randy Orton during the United States Championship match. While he concealed himself in a blue PRIME bottle costume for most of the match, Speed later revealed his identity, only to be greeted by an unamused Orton. Speed’s WrestleMania outing would ultimately end in him taking an RKO from Orton onto the commentary desk.
Other celebrities in attendance include Jake Paul, George Kittle, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, Wale, 2 Chainz, Druski, Lilly Singh, Vanessa Hudgens, Winnie Harlow, Wallo, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Gabriel Iglesias, Michael Rubin, Mark Kerr and Drew Barrymore, who was seen getting ready for the event with former WWE Champion The Miz.
