Grammy award-winning gospel singer Yolanda Adams is set to kick off the main card with “America the Beautiful.”

She joins Elias, who will likely get interrupted by No Way Jose or… I don’t know, Dean Ambrose for one last hurrah, and Joan Jett, who will be performing “Bad Reputation” as Ronda Rousey makes her way down to the ring in the show’s main event.
