ARSENAL continued to rock the WWE anthems through the Emirates PA system during their clash with Manchester United.
The Gunners and Red Devils fought out a goalless draw in North London on Saturday night.
But as Mikel Arteta’s stars entered the pitch for the second period, they were met by the sound of ‘Hell, Fire and Brimstone’.
Just 24 hours before the WWE Royal Rumble extravaganza, the iconic theme music of wrestling legend Kane echoed around the Arsenal home.
And it seems to be becoming a common occurrence in N4.
Back in July they ran out for the second half against Liverpool with the sound of WWE star Triple H’s theme tune blaring.
Fans loved the choice of music and it seemed to do the trick for the Gunners as they hung on to pull off a shock 2-1 win over Liverpool.
And earlier this month they shocked viewers when their players emerged to Kurt Angle’s WWE entrance music.
It was a bizarre choice from the FA Cup holders, as it is common for fans to chant ‘You Suck!’ to the tune.
The song was played as their players emerged for the second half of their drab 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

Many on social media found the funny side to the song considering Arsenal’s fall from grace in recent years.
One wrote: “Finally, Arsenal have found the right theme song.”
Angle, who has been involved in WWE for more than two decades, was also amused by Arsenal’s actions.
He tweeted: “Arsenal using my theme song. The only thing missing, due to COVID, is 30,000 fans chanting ‘You Suck’.”
The club’s PA announcer, DJ Selenki, is said to be a big wrestling fan – so it probably won’t be the last time we hear a WWE anthem at the Emirates.
