Today WWE 2K22 revealed that Machine Gun Kelly will be executive producing the 2K22 soundtrack on top of being a playable character, and now we have the full tracklist. Machine Gun Kelly kicks off the new soundtrack with two tracks, those being Concert for Aliens and Body Bag (with YUNGBLUD and Bert McCracken), followed by Wu-Tang Clan’s classic Protect Ya Neck and Iron Fist from Motorhead. Then we get a little NXT love in the form of Poppy’s Say Cheese, which in this case is the live version she performed on NXT. After that, we’ve got Royal Blood’s Typhoons and Bring Me The Horizon’s Happy Song, followed by The Weeknd’s Heartless.
