Bronson Reed Wanted Death Grips’ ‘Guillotine’ as His WWE Entrance Music, Triple H Was Not a Fan

"Guillotine" was the breakout song from Death Grips, pushing the boundaries between hip-hop and ketamine-induced psychosis. Bronson Reed wanted to bring in "Guillotine" as his entrance music for WWE, but he wasn't able to get the approval from Triple H.

While wrestling on the indies, Reed (fka Jonah Rock) had some epic entrances to Death Grips. "Guillotine" brought an unhinged aura to each building he wrestled in, leaving the crowd to wonder what acts of violence the 'monster' could be capable of.

Vince McMahon famously hated licensing music from outside artists (as CM Punk recently recalled) but with Triple H now in charge of creative, Reed tried to petition The Game for "Guillotine."

“Those things are important. When you come out for your entrance, it sets the tone, so I always wanted something that was distinctive. I have that with WWE, it’s obviously a bigger scale and budget. They like to do their own in-house music, but I do miss my old music sometimes,” Reed told AFL Today.

“Well, the thing is, this is going to expose my boss, but he’s a good dude. I once showed 'Guillotine' to Triple H and he was not a fan. I think maybe he didn’t listen to it in the right atmosphere. You know, listening to something on your phone and then hearing some crazy man start rambling. I’m like, if you heard it in an arena with the bass and the treble and stuff, then you would understand it works. But yeah, he was not a fan of 'Guillotine.'”
