Triple H confirms Heavy Is The Crown as official theme
Summary
– Linkin Park song selected as official Royal Rumble anthem
– Triple H hypes the start of the Road to WrestleMania
– Event scheduled for Riyadh with four major matches confirmed
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H took to social media to build excitement for the upcoming premium live event. He officially announced that Heavy Is The Crown by Linkin Park will serve as the musical backdrop for the festivities. This high-energy track comes from the band’s latest album, From Zero, which marks a new era for the group following a long hiatus.
Fans first learned of the partnership during the recent Monday Night Raw broadcast in Germany. The selection continues WWE’s long-standing tradition of pairing mainstream rock hits with its marquee stadium shows. The song prominently features new vocalist Emily Armstrong, providing a fresh sound for the first Royal Rumble held in Saudi Arabia.
The 2026 edition of the Royal Rumble takes place on Saturday, January 31, in Riyadh. While the traditional thirty-person over-the-top-rope matches are the main draw, the undercard is filling up with massive stakes. AJ Styles is currently prepared to risk his entire career in a high-stakes clash against Gunther.
Gold will also be on the line as Drew McIntyre defends his WWE Championship against Sami Zayn. These bouts join the men’s and women’s Rumble matches to round out a stacked lineup. Momentum is building rapidly as the professional wrestling world prepares for the first major stop on the path to WrestleMania.
The Road to #WrestleMania starts in less than a week…and @linkinpark brings the soundtrack.
