Machine Gun Kelly Reveals WWE 2K22 Soundtrack Lineup
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.
Next is Turnstile's I Don't Wanna Be Blind and Asking Alexandria's The Final Episode (Let's Change the Channel), and closing it all out is KennyHoopla's Hollywood Sucks.
"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.
