Luke Littler debuted his brand new walkout song after he was contacted by a WWE superstar.

The teenage darts sensation usually gets the crowd pumping with popular tune 'Greenlight' by Pitbull and Flo Rida.

But after WWE Champion Cody Rhodes got in touch to request a new tune, the 17-year-old was forced to oblige over in the USA.

Playing in front of a bumper crowd at Madison Square Garden, Littler made his way to the oche to Downstait's single 'Kingdom'.

Littler himself is a huge WWE fan after it emerged Green Light was the theme song for WrestleMania 33 in 2017 when he was just 10 years old.

It was dream start over in the States for the youngster from Runcorn, taking him less than 10 minutes to beat Matt Campbell 6-0 on a dream debut at the US Darts Masters.

Rhodes' message emerged in the build-up to the event as he detailed his appreciation for Littler.

"My friend, I am a fan of yours," 'The American Nightmare' said. "I have an appreciation for you as an athlete and a performer and a competitor.

"My man, you are a champion's champion. From one champion to another, Luke, see you down the road."


It's been quite the emergence for the teenager ever since his burst onto the scene back in December, with his performances in the Premier League as of late continuing to catch the eye.

After an emphatic 11-7 victory over Luke Humphries, he took time to silence his critics in front of the cameras.

"One thing I want to say - for all the doubters, hello! I have just picked up this, you are not doubting me anymore," he told Sky Sports.

"It was just one of those weird feelings of people saying I wasn't good enough. I had just got to the World Championship final and got picked as I did and I accepted the invite and went onto win it."
