“The Biggest Party of the Summer” is getting closer and announcements are still coming. WWE SummerSlam is happening over two nights. As announced on Monday’s “WWE Raw,” Night Two will kick off with the National Anthem performed by Grammy Award winning singer Darius Rucker.
Rucker had a successful profession within the Nineties because the front man of Top 40 mainstays Hootie & The Blowfish. They’d hits comparable to “Only Want To Be With You,” “Hold My Hand,” and “Let Her Cry.” He reinvented himself as a rustic singer with hits like “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It,” “Alright,” and his cover of “Wagon Wheel.” Rucker is an enormous wrestling fan, specifically of the Nineteen Eighties. He also has a WWE men’s merch collection with Fanatics.
