UPDATE: Eminem’s spokeperson Dennis Dennehy denied that a deal is done and that it isn’t likely to happen. “There was a very brief, exploratory conversation that involved a third party and 2K Sports, not Eminem’s team,” said Dennehy to Pro Wrestling Sheet. “It has not gone beyond preliminary discussions, and any reports to the contrary are false. Right now there are no plans to further pursue it.”
When this year’s installment of WWE 2K20 hits shelves, fans of the series will be able to hear tracks from multi-platinum rapper Eminem.
As first reported by Fightful Select, the WWE and the musician came to an agreement earlier this afternoon. As part, he’ll contribute to the soundtrack of the yearly game. Eminem will join a long list of rap performers who have contributed to the WWE Universe including Machine Gun Kelly, who appeared at WrestleMania 28.
The deal will also see Eminem make an appearance on SmackDown at some point later. The appearance is meant to help promote the brand’s jump to FOX in October of this year. In addition, Eminem will also have another piece of hardware to add to his mantle, as the WWE will be providing him with a championship belt.
