Cody Rhodes’ Entrance Theme “Kingdom” Performed by Arkansas Band During College Football Game

Cody Rhodes’ entrance theme song, “Kingdom,” performed by the band Downstait, has become iconic among wrestling fans, who eagerly anticipate hearing it every time Rhodes steps into the ring. Recently, this highly popular theme song made a surprise appearance in an entirely different setting—a college football game.

On Thursday night, during the season opener for Arkansas and Arkansas Pine Bluff on August 29, a band from Arkansas played Cody Rhodes’ “Kingdom.” While the game itself was one-sided, the crowd’s enthusiasm soared when the familiar notes of Rhodes’ theme song filled the stadium, adding an unexpected thrill to the evening.

It’s unclear whether the University of Arkansas band or the Arkansas Pine Bluff band performed the theme, but the moment didn’t go unnoticed by Rhodes himself. Taking to Twitter, Rhodes acknowledged the performance with a tweet that tagged the University of Arkansas Bands account, accompanied by one of his most popular GIFs, “🎺@uarkbands🎺.”

Earlier this year, “Kingdom” also achieved an impressive milestone, solidifying its status as a fan favorite. As Cody Rhodes continues to rise as a global sensation, it’s likely that his theme song will keep resonating beyond the wrestling ring, popping up in unexpected places and delighting fans wherever it’s played.

Whether “Kingdom” will be heard at more events like this remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Cody Rhodes and his theme song have made a lasting impact on both the world of wrestling and pop culture.
