Shaq Walks Out to Desiigner’s “Panda” at WrestleMania 32
The WWE held its premier event, WrestleMania, on Sunday night in Arlington, Texas, and plenty of surprises were in store for the 101,763 people in attendance. Amongst the surprise guests was newly inducted NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal. The Big Diesel was an unexpected entrant in the third annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and made quite the entrance, using Desiigner's "Panda" to announce himself.
Once he hit the ring, Diesel went toe-to-toe with the Big Show before executing a choke slam on Kane. The big man was eliminated quickly but the former NBA superstar made his presence known and was one of the highlights of the night.
WrestleMania 32 was a haven for members of the hip-hop community as rappers flocked to the massive arena for the WWE's biggest show of the year. Sitting ringside to take in the show were Smoke DZA, Wale, MMG's Spiff TV, Peter Rosenberg and Fabolous, who brought his son along to take in the show. DZA treats the day like a national holiday and for the fourth straight year dropped a project to commemorate the day. Check out Ringside 4 via DatPiff.
Snoop Dogg was also in attendance to support his cousin Sasha Banks. In fact, he even provided her with original entrance music via a brand new theme song that Uncle Snoop premiered at the event.
