Peacock, the streaming platform, has announced that WWE WrestleMania 41 coverage will commence at 4:00 PM EST. This hints towards a potential three-hour pre-show each evening prior to the start of the main events. However, this is subject to changes should any be made to the schedule.
Previous WWE WrestleMania XL saw a memorable moment when Chris Motionless, of ‘Motionless in White’, sang Rhea Ripley’s entrance anthem – “Demon in Your Dreams,” live during her walk-in. She was entering the ring for a Women’s World Title face-off against Becky Lynch. Despite being on an enormous platform, Motionless confessed his performance was dedicated to Ripley above anyone else.
He made these feelings known during a later interview on “Primordial Radio,” expressing how crucial it was to him that the performance was perfect for her. He deemed it as a dream come true for both him and Ripley. Speaking about the event, he explained,
“I’m going to be completely honest with you, never in my mind once did I put that show on for the fans watching. In my mind, it was, ‘Oh my god. I just want to do right by Rhea. I just want her to be stoked on this moment. I want to come in here and kill it for her and just make her feel like this super human that she is.’ That’s what I cared about. I think the next down [in importance] would be Triple H, who, obviously, was there giving us his feelings on the creative direction of what he wanted to see and everything. So we were there to celebrate Rhea, and that was a moment that I took very seriously,” he said. “I don’t think I thought about what other people would think, or who was watching, or where we were. It was just like, ‘Let’s do this. Let’s get it right. Let’s make her proud, feel like this was all worth it, and again, give her that lift that I’m sure she didn’t need. But, man, when I see the clips back of her getting into the ring and doing the power stance that she does on the ropes. It’s just like, God, the pairing of that moment is just so epic to me, and that’s what I thought about, and that’s what I cared about, and, yeah, we did it.”
