First, he was featured in a special video package on the pre-show, in which he hyped up the significance of the NFL’s biggest game of the year.

Then, “The Great One” came to the field at SoFi Stadium, where he delivered a promo reminiscent of his days as a WWE star. “The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment” introduced both teams and stated that it was “finally” time for the game to begin.
