Celebrity tie-ups and musical performances have been a regular addition to WrestleMania each passing year. Some have been okay, some have been good and some have been truly unforgettable. This list will take a look at the best of the best musical performance in the past 30 years of WrestleMania.
Some are just songs straight out of the performers’ albums, but some are the theme songs to some of these wrestlers. And the music is certainly something to be looked forward to this year as well that will feature the 4-hour extravaganza that is the grandest show of them all.

1.Motorhead – The Game
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Triple H’s theme song has the benefit of being all kinds of badass. If it wasn’t great enough already with its recorded version that usually makes The Game’s entrance at WrestleMania spectacular, this live performance was as head banging, hard hitting, hell raising as the recorded version.
The Game saluted them from the ring and got acknowledged in return by Motorhead’s lead vocalist Lemmy at WrestleMania 17.This is one musician – wrestler connection that has stood the test of time and is extremely well known in both the worlds.
Motorhead have had the rare distinction of performing the same song again at WrestleMania, but this one at WM 17 stands out the most.
2.Living Color – Cult of Personality
If there’s any other wrestler whose theme song connected so well with their personality other than Triple H on this list is CM Punk. He was in every sense of the phrase, a cult of personality. And so when he came to the New York – New Jersey area for WrestleMania 29 to break the Undertaker’s streak, he walked out to New York’s very own Living Color performing his theme song live.
It is till date one of the best musical performances at WrestleMania. Punk using that theme gave the song new life in 2011 and it was only poetic that they returned the favour by performing so gloriously at WrestleMania.
3.P.O.D – 619
Rey Mysterio’s Road to WrestleMania 22 was fueled by the death of his very close friend Eddie Guerrero. He dedicated this journey to the late great and made a promise that he will conquer everything there is to make it big in the WWE for Eddie.
This journey was made even better with P.O.D performing live for Mysterio with their theme song “619”. The significance in the song lies in the fact that band member Marcos and Mysterio grew up together in the 619 area code of San Diego, California. The song, with lyrics which very noticeably repeated the words “My Brother” was a poetic theme for Mysterio and his quest to greatness for Eddie.
4.Mark Crozer & The Rels – Live In Fear
A character that WWE has really not been able to put over properly is Bray Wyatt’s. He’s arguably got the best entrance of his generation and all the makings of following into Undertaker’s footsteps of being the next greatest fictional creations of wrestling but all this time the writers have made his character more wanting of all those qualities.
But there is no doubt his entrance at WrestleMania 30 was a stuff of dreams. It had the band members wearing masks and presenting this whole eerie picture that really exemplified his character.
5.Limp Bizkit – Rollin
Undertaker’s American Badass gimmick may have received mixed reviews and may not have been as great as The Deadman gimmick but still Limp Bizkit performing his then theme song’ Rollin’ to a fiery WrestleMania crowd is just about the most rad sight ever.
Of course, their mic had a few problems or so it seems in the beginning but it was nonetheless one of the most energetic performances ever to a very pumped up song. The also performed “Crack Addict” – the official theme song to WrestleMania 19.
