AEW Talent Pitch For Kendrick Lamar To Make An Appearance

Some in All Elite Wrestling have pitched for the promotion to bring in Kendrick Lamar for an appearance, according to reports.

The Compton rapper is on top of his game, with his recent Superbowl half-time show capping off a remarkable 12 months which also saw K.Dot eviscerate Toronto’s Drake in a highly publicised beef. With Drake appearing in the crowd at WWE’s recent Elimination Chamber event in Toronto, talent and staff within AEW have pitched to bring Lamar in for obvious reasons - per a report from Fightful Select - but the logistics of making it happen would be extremely difficult.

Whilst AEW has a history of working with hip-hop stars such as Lil’ Uzi Vert, and Snoop Dogg, amongst others, Kendrick is a different beast, with Lamar rarely making public appearances outside of musical performances, and projects produced and released via his PGLang creative company.

The history of pro wrestling crossing over with hip-hop is a long one, with WWE especially leaning into the community in recent years, with Travis Scott part of John Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber, whilst Sexxy Redd has made several appearances in NXT.
