Lil Uzi Vert stopped by WrestleMania 39 on Saturday (April 1) to perform and hint at a future appearance in the ring.
With a performance of their hit song “Just Wanna Rock,” the rapper provided a nice introduction for wrestling duo Joshua Samuel Fatu and Jonathan Solofa Fatu, aka The Usos. Uzi’s WWE debut, but they weren’t the only musician to make an impression. Snoop Dogg and the Miz co-hosted the event, with Bad Bunny providing Spanish announcement table commentary.
The performance of “Just Wanna Rock” comes shortly after Uzi performed the song on The Tonight Show, accompanied by dancers and a colourful stage design.

“I can’t believe I’m here, I can’t believe I saw so many people I’ve always wanted to see my entire life,” Uzi said backstage. “I wanted to fight, and I was prepared to fight.” But you’ll see me in April, 2024, in Philadelphia, so I don’t want to give away all the surprises. But you’ll recognise me.”
WrestleMania 39 was held in Inglewood, California, but it will be held in Philadelphia, Uzi’s hometown, next year. It appears that Uzi will make their ring debut at WrestleMania 40, and they were even asked who they would like to face. Uzi responded, “Dominik [Mysterio].”
