Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor is ready to rumble, and taking WWE NXT’s side in their Wednesday night ratings feud with upstart All Elite Wrestling, angering AEW fans. The lead singer of the popular heavy metal band gave the following introduction to this week’s most recent edition of WWE’s NXT on USA. Slipknot’s most recent single “All Out Life” is the official theme song of the show so it comes to no surprise why Corey Taylor would do this video package.

Corey Taylor: “Now is the time, the future has arrived. If you’re asking “who is NXT” I’ll tell you who we are. We are hellacious, a ruthless dream, we are the Kings and Queens of kicking Full Sail ass and we are undisputed. Let us not forget where we came from, but make no mistake, there is no going back. From now on we are the most exclusive brand of combat in the world. If you’ve been looking for something more – welcome home. We are NXT.
