WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer Wants Megadeth To Play Her To The Ring At WrestleMania 42

Thrash metal legends Megadeth continue to see their influence bleed far beyond the stage, with the band now firmly tied into the world of professional wrestling thanks to current WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer — who has openly named the group as one of her biggest musical inspirations and even floated a dream scenario involving a WWE entrance theme.

With Megadeth currently underway on their farewell tour and fresh off the milestone achievement of landing their first-ever #1 album on the Billboard 200 with their self-titled final record, the band’s legacy remains as dominant as ever. Decades into their career, their impact continues to reach new audiences — including inside the squared circle.

Vaquer, who is preparing to defend her title at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, has long been an outspoken metal fan. While she credits artists like Iron Maiden, Slipknot, Drowning Pool, and Motörhead for shaping her early connection to the genre, she made it clear Megadeth sit at the very top of that list.

Speaking about what draws her to metal culture as a whole, Vaquer emphasized the deeper identity she feels within the scene:

“That’s what I love most about it, besides the clothing and overall style. I really connect with the metal aesthetic; l’ve always identified with it and felt like I belong in that world. It feels like a part of who I am.”

When it comes to entrance music inspiration, Megadeth are front and center in her vision. While acknowledging the historic WWE legacy of Motörhead, she pointed to a specific Megadeth track as a personal dream walkout moment:

“It would be a dream to have Motörhead accompany me, even though I know it’s impossible… It would also be a dream to come out to Megadeth’s ‘Head Crusher’.”

Beyond individual tracks, Vaquer also highlighted her deep admiration for the band’s classic era, naming Rust In Peace as her all-time favorite Megadeth album — widely regarded as one of thrash metal’s defining releases.

“It brings back so many memories and every song on it is great.”

With Megadeth’s legacy already firmly cemented in metal history, Vaquer’s comments only reinforce the band’s enduring cultural reach — and hint at a crossover WWE moment that would hit just as hard as any riff in their catalog.
