Guitar legend Nita Strauss will help kick off NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver in rock-and-roll fashion.

The lead guitarist for Alice Cooper will perform the National Anthem on Night 1 of the black-and-gold brand’s showcase event, which begins Wednesday night at 8/7 C on USA Network and streaming exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and on WWE Network elsewhere.

I am incredibly excited to get on stage to kick off #WrestleMania week this Wednesday with the National Anthem at #NXTTakeOver Stand & Deliver,” Strauss wrote on social media. “Time to get #NXTLOUD!!!! #WeAreNXT”

“I know what it takes to create a spectacle with WWE,” Alice Cooper, who appeared at WrestleMania III, wrote on social media. “Play it proud, play it #NXTLOUD!”
