    And according to PWInsider, the WWE wanted Tyson to provide a voiceover for the opening video package, centred around Cena and Reigns.
    But it is claimed they could not negotiate a deal with the heavyweight boxing legend.
    Tyson, 55, is a WWE Hall of Famer and famously enforced the WrestleMania 14 main-event against Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels.
    Iron Mike, suspended from boxing at the time for biting Evander Holyfield’s ear off a year prior, was paid a reported £2.5million.
    Boxing champions Floyd Mayweather, 44, and Tyson Fury, 33, have also starred on WWE PPV’s.
    More recently, Tyson has featured on WWE’s rival promotion All Elite Wrestling.

    He awarded Cody Rhodes with the AEW TNT Championship at the Double or Nothing PPV in May 2020.
    At the time, Tyson was preparing to make a return to the boxing ring, 15 years after retiring.
    And he did so last November, drawing with Roy Jones Jr, 52, in an eight-round exhibition.
    Also making a comeback is Cena, now a Hollywood superstar, who shocked fans by returning at Money in the Bank in July.
    He immediately feuded with champ Reigns, setting them up with their SummerSlam clash.

      WWE icon Kurt Angle delighted Arsenal use his theme but laments Covid keeping fans away and stopping ‘You Suck’ chants

      by

      ARSENAL shocked viewers on Thursday night when their players emerged to Kurt Angle’s WWE entrance music.
      It was a bizarre choice from the FA Cup holders, as it is common for fans to chant ‘You Suck!’ to the tune.

      The Gunners have under-performed in the Premier League this season, winning just seven games.
      The song was played as their players emerged for the second half of their drab 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.
      Many on social media found the funny side to the song considering Arsenal’s fall from grace in recent years.
      One wrote: “Finally, Arsenal have found the right theme song.”

      The Gunners have not qualified for the Champions League since they finished second in the Premier League in 2015-16.
      Angle, who has been involved in WWE for more than two decades, was also amused by Arsenal’s actions.
      He tweeted: “Arsenal using my theme song. The only thing missing, due to COVID, is 30,000 fans chanting ‘You Suck’.
      Perhaps Angle was unaware the Emirates holds 60,000.

      It is not the first time Arsenal have used a WWE song.
      Last July they ran out for the second half of their match against Liverpool with Triple H’s theme tune blaring.
      The club’s PA announcer, DJ Selenki, is said to be a big wrestling fan – so it probably won’t be the last time we hear a WWE anthem at the Emirates.
