Drake may be a global rap superstar, but this past weekend, he was just another fan soaking in the electrifying atmosphere of WWE’s Elimination Chamber. On Saturday night [March 1st], The 6 God made an unexpected appearance at the high-stakes event in his hometown of Toronto, joining fellow rapper and frequent WWE guest, Lil Yachty, in the front row.
While Yachty’s love for wrestling is well-documented, Drake’s presence sent shockwaves through the arena. Fans wasted no time flooding social media with reactions, posting photos of Drizzy dressed in a camo hat and black hoodie as he watched the action unfold.
“Did u feel his aura?” one X user joked, while others couldn’t resist weaving in references to Kendrick Lamar’s viral “Not Like Us”. Another fan tweeted, “Elimination of emotions: Drake is watching, and we’re waiting for a song about this night”.
But beneath the memes and jokes lies a genuine truth—Drake is no stranger to the world of wrestling.
Drake’s Longstanding Love For WWE
Drake has been an open admirer of professional wrestling for years, frequently referencing the sport in his music and social media. His 2011 track “The Ride” from Nothing Was the Same name-drops the legendary Randy Savage, a nod to his deeper appreciation for the craft. He’s also built connections with some of the industry’s biggest names, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
His involvement with WWE even extended to a promotional crossover in 2021, when he teamed up with the company to celebrate the release of Certified Lover Boy. That partnership, along with his repeated attendance at live events, proves that Drake’s passion for wrestling is more than just a casual hobby—it’s a genuine part of his cultural footprint.
Could This Lead To A Bigger WWE Moment For Drake?
With his surprise Elimination Chamber appearance now making waves, the question lingers—could Drake take his WWE fandom to the next level? Whether it’s a future collaboration, an in-ring promo, or even a WrestleMania moment, the possibilities are endless.
For now, fans are left wondering: Who was Drake really rooting for in the Elimination Chamber match? And more importantly—will this night inspire bars on his next track? Only time will tell.
