WWE Announces Special Celebrity Appearance For Summer Jam
It’s a good idea. Celebrities have been a part of wrestling for years now and that is going to be the case for a very long time to come. It makes sense to bring in outside names and see what they can do when they are put into the world of wrestling. Sometimes you can get something great out of this, while others are not quite the success. This time around, WWE is trying something new with a name who has been around before.
WWE has announced, courtesy of 411mania.com, that WWE Hall of Famer and rap legend Snoop Dogg will be hosting an in-game event for the WWE Champions mobile game. The event will see a 1990s version of Dogg being added to the in-game roster. In addition, a new version of Sasha Banks, Dogg’s cousin, will be available, along with a special block party themed arena. There will also be a sweepstakes for a change to win Dogg merchandise.
Dogg has been involved in wrestling several times over the years, including making multiple appearances for WWE. He rapped Banks to the ring for her WWE Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania 32 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2016. Dogg has also appeared for AEW, including an appearance on Dynamite in 2021 where he splashed Serpentico through a table.
Dogg does have a history with wrestling. Check out some of his appearance:

Opinion: Dogg is one of those celebrities who always seems to be having a good time when he is on a wrestling show so this should be a nice fit. It helps to have someone with so much charisma and a loyal following so it makes sense for WWE to want to use him in such a way. If nothing else, it made me realize that the game is still a thing, which is at least a step in the right direction.
