In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, WWE star Kit Wilson revealed details about the creation of his new entrance theme, Man Up, which recently became available on platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. Wilson explained his active role in shaping the track, drawing inspiration from prominent pop artists like Charli XCX and JENNIE from BLACKPINK to refine the sound.
Wilson described his collaborative approach during the production process:
“So there’s just so many references there. I sent them all. I timestamped the bits that I like, the choruses, I’m always trying to give as much as I can, so as much of me is there. And then they came back. Gave me the first draft. It sounded great. Few tweaks, few tweaks, few tweaks, and I felt like we hit it.” ? Kit Wilson, WWE Wrestler
Update on Elton Prince’s Injury and Its Effect on Wilson’s Career
Wilson’s transition to a singles competitor occurred after his tag team partner in Pretty Deadly, Elton Prince, suffered an injury during a match against Fraxiom in May 2025. This setback prompted Wilson to take on a more prominent role in WWE as Prince focuses on recovery.
Addressing Prince’s current health situation, Wilson conveyed cautious optimism about his partner’s progress:
“Everything’s on track and good, but it’s just a touch-and-go situation. It’s the neck. So it’s such a specialist area, that I think we’re just kind of taking it day by day. But he is doing good, which is fantastic.” ? Kit Wilson, WWE Wrestler
Significance of the Update for WWE Fans and Future Prospects
Elton Prince’s injury remains a critical concern given the delicate nature of neck injuries, which require specialized care and careful monitoring. Wilson’s candid update emphasizes the daily uncertainties faced during Prince’s recovery but also reflects hope for his eventual return to the ring.
Meanwhile, Wilson’s involvement in crafting his entrance theme highlights his growing influence within WWE and the evolving musical identity that accompanies his singles career. Fans can expect him to continue developing his persona alongside Prince’s rehabilitation, which will be a focal point for WWE audiences moving forward.
