The 2025 Royal Rumble just got a little more bratty! WWE announced on Monday that Charli XCX’s summer hit “Von Dutch” from her album Brat will be the official theme song for the event. The announcement was made by none other than Triple H himself, who posted the news on X (formerly Twitter) while playfully asking if he fits the “brat” mold.
“From BRAT Summer to #WrestleMania season, @Charli_XCX’s ‘Von Dutch’ is the official theme of #RoyalRumble,” Triple H wrote, fully embracing the vibe that’s sweeping pop culture.
This move continues WWE’s trend of partnering with chart-topping artists for their event soundtracks. The current WWE SmackDown theme is Megan Thee Stallion’s “Neva Play,” while WWE Raw sports Travis Scott’s “4×4,” a track that debuted during the show’s Netflix-era premiere. That particular episode also featured Jey Uso and Travis Scott sharing a moment involving, let’s say, smoke and vibes.
As for whether Triple H truly embodies “brat,” Collins Dictionary defines the term as “characterized by a confident, independent, and hedonistic attitude.” The word was named Collins’ 2024 Word of the Year, largely thanks to Charli XCX’s influence. So, is the cerebral assassin officially brat-certified? We’ll let the fans decide.
With its infectious beats and bold lyrics, “Von Dutch” is sure to set the tone for one of WWE’s most exciting nights. Expect the Lucas Oil Stadium to be bouncing when the song hits as 30 men and women battle it out for a shot at WrestleMania glory.
