It looks like Machine Gun Kelly is now also invading the wrestling world as the rapper turned pop-rocker has signed on to executive produce the soundtrack to the WWE 2K22 video game.
You can check out a trailer below featuring MGK along with the Undertaker promoting his association with the game.
MGK has curated the entire soundtrack which is set to include songs from WU TANG CLAN, MOTORHEAD, Poppy, ROYAL BLOOD, BRING ME THE HORIZON, The Weeknd, TURNSTILE, ASKING ALEXANDRIA and KennyHoopla, as well, for good measure of course, a couple of his own tunes.
On top of that absolutely wonderful news, it has been revealed that Machine Gun Kelly will also be available as a playable character in the game in a future downloadable content pack. Essentially meaning you can pummel MGK with power bombs, piledrivers, suplexes and body slams. Which doesn’t sound half bad.
“Machine Gun Kelly has been an integral part of the WWE family for more than a decade including performances at WrestleMania and Tribute to the Troops, soundtracking our premium live events with his music, and making frequent storyline appearances on WWE programming over the years,” said Neil Lawi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, WWE Music Group. “He has curated a unique soundtrack for WWE 2K22 that includes not only his own music but a diverse array of artists from The Weeknd to KennyHoopla. The 12-track soundtrack is the perfect complement to this edition’s enhanced gameplay.”
Look for WWE 2K22 arriving on March 11. Pre-orders are available at this location.
