WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton is setting her sights on an unforgettable WrestleMania moment one that blends the worlds of wrestling and pop music in spectacular fashion. In a recent appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, Stratton revealed her dream of having pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter create and perform a brand-new entrance song for her at the “Showcase of the Immortals.”
A Star-Studded Vision for WrestleMania
Stratton, famously known as the “Buff Barbie Doll,” is no stranger to unique and dazzling entrances. At this year’s WrestleMania, she made a striking statement by emerging inside a custom Barbie box created by Mattel, reinforcing her distinctive character. Building upon that momentum, she now wants to elevate her entrances further with a live performance.
“Sabrina Carpenter would be so cool. She’s really hot right now; she just came out with a whole new album,” Stratton said during the interview. “I think that would be a banger, and I would want her to create my own entrance music and have her perform it for the first time at WrestleMania for me. Sabrina, if you’re listening, let’s do this … It needs to happen, let’s manifest it.”
This vision echoes WrestleMania’s tradition of featuring major music stars performing live for WWE superstars, making the show a crossover event that resonates beyond the wrestling world.
Past WrestleMania Music Collaborations
WrestleMania has a rich history of pairing wrestlers with big-name musicians to create memorable entrances. Recently, Slayer’s Kerry King performed live for Damian Priest’s iconic entrance, while Living Colour wowed the crowd accompanying CM Punk. WWE veteran Bayley has also expressed her desire to have the band Paramore perform her entrance music live, showing the continued appeal of these musical moments.
According to a WWE insider, “WWE loves to blend pop culture with wrestling, especially at WrestleMania it’s the perfect stage. Bringing Sabrina Carpenter in would not only give Tiffany Stratton an incredible spotlight but also attract a broader music fan base.”
The Appeal of Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter’s rising status in the music industry makes her a compelling choice for Stratton. Known for her catchy pop anthems and dynamic performances, Carpenter recently released a new album that has garnered widespread praise. Her involvement could bring fresh energy and mainstream appeal to Stratton’s WrestleMania entrance, potentially making it one of the evening’s standout moments.
Beyond just a soundtrack, having Carpenter perform live adds an emotional and electric atmosphere that prerecorded music cannot replicate, turning Stratton’s entrance into a memorable spectacle.
Challenges and Expectations
While the idea is exciting, securing a major pop star like Sabrina Carpenter to perform live at WrestleMania is no small feat. High-profile artists command significant fees, and logistics can be complex given the scale of WWE’s production. However, WWE has shown willingness in recent years to invest in these special moments, recognizing the benefits of cross-promoting wrestling and mainstream music.
Sources close to WWE management suggest that discussions about integrating elite musical talent for premium events like WrestleMania are ongoing, but concrete plans require alignment on creative vision, timing, and budget.
Tiffany Stratton’s Rising Star in WWE
Since arriving in WWE, Stratton has rapidly distinguished herself with a unique blend of athleticism and charisma. Her character work, inspired in part by vintage Barbie aesthetics, has garnered strong attention and fan engagement.
This ambition to have a custom live entrance performed by Sabrina Carpenter reflects her desire to carve a lasting legacy, especially as WWE invests heavily in its women’s division with growing viewership and prominence.
Looking Ahead to WrestleMania
If realized, Tiffany Stratton’s vision would join the ranks of iconic WrestleMania entrances that define the event’s legacy. WWE fans and wrestling media alike will be watching closely to see if Sabrina Carpenter takes the stage alongside Stratton in the future.
For now, Stratton’s message is clear: she is manifesting this dream and inviting Carpenter to be a part of what could be a historic moment at wrestling’s grandest stage.
