WWE has announced that ‘Timeless’ by Playboi Carti & The Weeknd is the official theme song for WrestleMania 41 next month in Las Vegas.
For the sixth year in a row, The Weeknd has cemented his status as the soundtrack to WWE’s grandest stage. The multi-platinum artist continues his streak of providing the official theme song for WrestleMania, solidifying his connection with sports entertainment’s biggest spectacle.
WrestleMania is known for its larger-than-life moments, electrifying entrances, and anthemic music that sets the tone for the night’s epic showdowns. And no artist in recent memory has been as synonymous with WWE’s Showcase of the Immortals as The Weeknd. Since 2020, his music has been a fixture of WrestleMania, heightening the drama, emotion, and spectacle of the event.
A Dominant Musical Presence
The Weeknd’s relationship with WWE began with WrestleMania 36, where his track Blinding Lights became the official theme. Despite the pandemic forcing WWE’s biggest event behind closed doors, his song perfectly captured the energy and resilience of the spectacle.
In 2021, Save Your Tears fueled WrestleMania 37’s return to a live audience in Tampa, Florida. Then came Sacrifice in 2022 for WrestleMania 38, Less Than Zero in 2023 for WrestleMania 39, and now, in 2025, The Weeknd continues his streak with yet another hit accompanying WrestleMania 41.
Why The Weeknd and WWE Are a Perfect Fit
There’s something about The Weeknd’s cinematic, larger-than-life sound that aligns seamlessly with WWE’s storytelling. His music, often filled with themes of struggle, redemption, and triumph, mirrors the journey of WWE Superstars as they battle their way to WrestleMania moments that define careers.
His ability to blend pop, R&B, and dark synth-heavy production creates an atmosphere of drama and excitement that WWE thrives on. Whether it’s hyping up a high-stakes match or serving as the backdrop to a WrestleMania promo package, The Weeknd’s tracks have become an integral part of the event’s presentation.
The Future of The Weeknd and WWE
With his unmatched streak of six straight WrestleMania themes, the question now is whether The Weeknd will continue this run into future events. WWE has a history of forming long-term relationships with musicians—just look at Motorhead’s legendary contributions to Triple H’s persona or Kid Rock’s frequent collaborations.
Given his history with WWE, it wouldn’t be surprising if The Weeknd becomes as synonymous with WrestleMania as pyro, over-the-top entrances, and unforgettable moments. Whether it’s his current hits or something brand new, his sound seems destined to be a part of the WWE Universe for years to come.
Final Thoughts
WrestleMania is all about spectacle, and The Weeknd has proven time and time again that his music belongs on the biggest stage. With six consecutive themes to his name, he is arguably WWE’s go-to artist for setting the tone of its grandest event. As WrestleMania 41 approaches, fans can once again expect to hear his unmistakable sound hyping up the action, proving that The Weeknd’s WWE streak is very much alive and well.
