Slipknot’s ‘Unsainted’ Is the New Theme of WWE’s NXT TakeOver
Looks like Slipknot's "Unsainted" is the new "#NXTLOUD Theme" for WWE's upcoming NXT TakeOver: Toronto 2019, to take place Aug. 10 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. This week, wrestler Paul "Triple H" Levesque shared a promotional clip featuring portions of the song and its music video.
It's not the first time the wrestling giant has anchored its entertainment to the sights and sounds of Slipknot. Earlier this year, WWE selected the one-off "All Out Life" as a NXT theme. Slipknot's new album We Are Not Your Kind comes out Aug. 9. Watch the WWE NXT video down towards the bottom of this post.
"#WeAreNotYourKind because #WeAreNXT," Triple H relayed in a hashtag-heavy Facebook post from Wednesday (July 1) that included the clip. "'Unsainted' by Slipknot is #NXTLOUD. #NXTTakeOver."
Slipknot hit the road this summer on the Knotfest Roadshow with Volbeat, Behemoth and Gojira. They'll also tour Australia with Metallica later in the fall. See the dates below and get ticketing info here.
