“He Wanna be Kanye So Bad”: Fans Go Wild After 41-Year-Old WWE Star Gives Kanye West Vibes
Follow Us
It seems to be a good time to start watching WWE. Thanks to Triple H and his creative crew, WWE has undergone some significant changes and is becoming a lot more intriguing every day. WWE has a lengthy history of incorporating pop culture elements. Similarly, WWE Superstar Finn Balor recently showed up at Extreme Rules with a Kanye West mask.
The audience erupted in excitement as soon as Balor made his entry without Judgement Day, as was first anticipated, and instead by himself while wearing the iconic Ye’s mask.

It goes without saying that Hunter once again put on a great PPV, not just in terms of the matches but also in terms of the many other aspects that contributed to its appeal. Notably, one such event that awed spectators was Balor’s appearance.
Kanye West, an American rapper, and producer, is credited with popularizing the mask that Finn was rocking. In a nod to the old Yeezus-era Kanye, he donned ski masks. Notably, Kanye for his studio album, ‘Donda 2’, utilized and marketed it.
There are many different types of ski masks, but ever since Hip-Hop was born, i.e. in the 1970s, rappers, and artists have had a brief propensity for it due to its alluring appearance and ability to further a performer’s or artist’s image. Meanwhile, it may imply that Balor chose it since he is a huge Ye’s admirer, and indeed, after his entrance, fans went crazy and began discussing it online.
Fan reactions to Balor wearing Kanye West mask
One fan humorously said that Kayne somehow managed to get into WWE in response to the entrance. It should be noted that WWE is known for bringing in surprising celebrities, so there could be a subtle signal there.
