That performance caught the attention of WWE, so when Rhodes teams up with Roman Reigns at WWE’s next Premium Live Event, Bad Blood, on October 5 in Atlanta, the M4 will be there.

WWE has a history of including HBCU bands in their biggest live events. The Texas Southern Ocean Of Soul accompanied Bianca Belair to the ring for her championship match against Becky Lynch at Wrestlemania 38 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
