Brentford striker Ivan Toney returned to the side after an eight-month-long absence. However, not his return, but the pregame build-up made more headlines. The audience at the game watched in awe as the entire stadium was transformed into a WWE arena. It was a unique move to play the theme music of the WWE legend, The Undertaker, as Toney walked out to mark his presence on the team. As the stadium erupted, people began getting excited to see Toney in action again.

So, did Ivan Toney manage to stamp his authority on the pitch, or did he fizzle out after having a grand entry? Did Brentford win the match? Let us look at the video closely to see what exactly happened.

The video was uploaded by an account named StokeyyG2 on Twitter, which has been recently rebranded as X. In the 29-second clip, the scene opens to a spectacular backdrop of the stadium bathed in red light. However, just after a few seconds, the fans got a surprise that surely nobody was expecting. As the players were about to make their way out of the tunnel, the music of The Undertaker hit. Subsequently, the stadium lights went off one after the other, much like how the legendary wrestlers would come out in WWE.

As the anticipation built around the possible reason for the setup, a video of Ivan Toney was displayed on the giant screen. This was enough to make the fans go berserk. Toney had been the star striker for Brentford and was serving an eight-month ban because of betting issues. His return meant that Brentford would significantly boost their striking force. As the players took to the field, anticipation around Ivan Toney grew.
