Not only will he be a playable character in a downloadable content pack as part of the new wrestling instalment ("So now you can slam me through a table as much as you want," he joked on Twitter), MGK is also serving as Executive Soundtrack Producer, and has picked out an awesome 12-song tracklist featuring Bring Me The Horizon, Poppy, KennyHoopla, Turnstile, Royal Blood and more.

“Machine Gun Kelly has been an integral part of the WWE family for more than a decade,” says Neil Lawi, Senior Vice President and General Manager at WWE Music Group. “He has curated a unique soundtrack for WWE 2K22 that includes not only his own music but a diverse array of artists from The Weeknd to KennyHoopla. The 12-track soundtrack is the perfect complement to this edition’s enhanced gameplay.”

WWE 2K22 is due out on March 11.
