WWE Superstar quotes celebrity Hall of Famer before WarGames debut
A WWE RAW star has issued a bold statement ahead of tonight's Survivor Series Premium Live Event from Chicago, Illinois.
JD McDonagh is set to make his WarGames debut tonight as he teams with Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio to take on Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn. The Men's WarGames match is expected to be the main event tonight.
McDonagh took to Instagram today for one final message as he prepares to step inside the double-cage structure for the first time. He quoted lyrics from Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" single, featuring vocals by celebrity WWE Hall of Famer Ozzy Osbourne, which is the Survivor Series theme song for the second year in a row.
"Day of Judgement, God is calling. On their knees, the War Pigs crawling. [smiling face with horns emoji] [spade suit emoji]," he wrote with a promotional graphic for the match.
Osbourne was featured in the Survivor Series opening video package that aired with "War Pigs" in 2022. The anti-war protest song was also the official theme for NXT TakeOver: WarGames in the past.
Vince Russo previously discussed WWE's use of the song on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW and blasted Triple H for choosing a song originally released in 1970.
