Rhea Ripley will get a live entrance performed by Ash Costello inside Raymond James Stadium.
Rhea Ripley’s entrance theme, ‘Brutality’ is unique as compared to other superstar entrance themes in the modern era because of the inclusion of vocals by New Year's Day vocalist Ash Costello.
Just in time for her first singles match as an official member of the main roster, the Raw Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 37, Costello has announced that she will play Ripley to the ring live on Sunday, April 11, 2021.
By overwhelming demand, I am so excited to announce that I will be performing #Brutality LIVE for the most bad ass @rhearipley_wwe at #wrestlemania37 ! If you’re ready and will be watching, leave some ---------- below!!!! I am honored to sing in support of such a genuine and strong woman! and as a wrestling fan, excited to a part of something I love. YOUR support made this dream a reality.

Speaking to Revolver in 2019, Ripley expressed her gratitude for having one of her favorite rock stars provide the soundtrack to her career.
"I'm so grateful to Ash for making that for me," says Ripley. "I rely heavily on that song to get into character as I enter the ring."

Costello had stated last year on social media that she wanted to play Ripley to the ring for her WrestleMania debut against Charlotte Flair. Of course, WrestleMania 36 was held in front of an empty WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida because of the global pandemic.
With this news, Rhea Ripley joins the likes of Triple H, Undertaker, Sasha Banks, and Lawrence Taylor as having a musical performer play her entrance to the ring.
Fightful will have live coverage of both nights of WrestleMania and all events throughout the course of WrestleMania week.
