Snoop Dogg's Surprise Elbow Move Leaves Fans In Awe At WrestleMania
WWE fans are praising WrestleMania 39 co-host Snoop Dogg on Twitter after the rapper hopped into the ring on Sunday and “saved” an impromptu match following a surprise injury to wrestler Shane McMahon.
Snoop, co-hosting with The Miz, jumped in after McMahon landed awkwardly on his leg and held onto his knee, reportedly from a torn quad muscle.
The Miz, McMahon’s opponent in the bout, circled the fallen McMahon as medical staff checked the damage until Snoop socked his co-host in the head.

“Hold on, I can’t believe that, cuh, you knocked my homeboy out like that? Like that? That’s what you gon’ do?” asked Snoop before landing another brutal hit on The Miz.
The rapper later dropped his mic and ripped off his sunglasses before delivering a “people’s elbow” to defeat The Miz.
Watch the move below:
Snoop, in an interview with WWE’s Cathy Kelley, said he didn’t know he would be part of the match.
“He may want to go solo after this,” quipped Snoop about his co-host.
Wrestling fans on Twitter showered Snoop with love and lauded him for his “professional” improvisation.
