A viral band is set to play Cody Rhodes out to the ring at the upcoming WWE Bad Blood PLE.
On October 5th, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia, Cody Rhodes is set to team up with Roman Reigns and take on Solo Sikoa, and Jacob Fatu. Rhodes and Reigns will keep their differences aside for one night and take on the bigger threat in the room.
However, just weeks before his match, a special entrance for The American Nightmare was announced. The University of Arkansas Pine Bluff band recently went viral last month on August 29th with their ‘Kingdom’ performance when The University of Arkansas Pine Bluff faced Arkansas. They have now announced their involvement at Bad Blood.
The University of Arkansas Pine Bluff band announced on X (Twitter) that they will be performing Cody Rhodes’ theme ‘Entrance’ at the PLE. Before his match at Bash In Berlin, Rhodes reacted to the band’s performance and praised them.
Berlin had me already fired up for #WWEBash
But THIS may be played once or twice in the locker room before my match today.
Awesome stuff @UAPBM4 ❤️ https://t.co/cYA5lcG8Lw

The University’s director of bands John Graham also spoke to ESPN after the performance went viral. He commented:
When our arranger put the song on paper for us, I looked at it [and] some of the students were shaking their heads thinking, ‘No, why are we playing this’ and then we started rehearsing it, the piece came alive. I said, ‘This is going to go. As soon as I dropped the hammer and we started playing, I looked over and saw fans reacting like, ‘They’re playing “Kingdom,’” Graham continued. “I saw them standing up with excitement and positive reactions, and I told myself, ‘We’re in here now.’ It was a beautiful moment.”
