WrestleMania Goes Patriotic Under Triple H's Watch: National Anthem Replaces America the Beautiful

A subtle but symbolic shift took place at WrestleMania 40 last night, marking a potential change in direction under the leadership of Paul "Triple H" Levesque.

For the first time in recent memory, WrestleMania kicked off with a live performance of the U.S. national anthem by singer Coco Jones, replacing the traditional rendition of America the Beautiful.



According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, this change stems from Vince McMahon's personal preference. Meltzer claims McMahon "hated" the national anthem, favoring America the Beautiful instead. With McMahon's recent departure from the company, Triple H appears to be steering WrestleMania in a new direction, embracing a more patriotic opening for the event.

This isn't the only indication of a changing of the guard. WrestleMania 40 also featured surprise appearances from celebrities like Jason Kelce and Lil Wayne, adding a layer of mainstream appeal that may not have been as prevalent under McMahon's leadership.

Fans eagerly await tonight's WrestleMania 40 Night Two to see if more subtle cues emerge hinting at Triple H's vision for the future of WWE.
