WrestleMania season is in full swing, and The Weeknd is back to set the tone. WWE recently confirmed that “Timeless,” a collaboration with Playboi Carti, will be the official theme for WrestleMania 41, extending The Weeknd’s reign as the sonic heartbeat of the event for a record-breaking sixth consecutive year. The announcement dropped during the March 28, 2025, airing of SmackDown, complete with a high-energy promo that ties the song to the road to Las Vegas. With a lyrical shoutout to The Rock, the track feels tailor-made for the star-studded spectacle ahead.
The Weeknd’s WrestleMania legacy is unmatched. From the electrifying “Blinding Lights” at WrestleMania 36 to the moody “Save Your Tears” for 37, the anthemic “Sacrifice” with Swedish House Mafia at 38, “Less Than Zero” for 39, “Gasolina” at 40, and now “Timeless” for 41, Abel Tesfaye’s versatile catalog keeps WWE’s biggest night pulsing with energy. Whether it’s a soulful slow-burn or a high-octane hit, his music has become a WrestleMania staple.
