    WWE chief Triple H has revealed that this year's Survivor Series theme song will be a charity tribute to Ozzy Osbourne

    The late Black Sabbath rocker's rendition of War Pigs with Judas Priest will be used for the wrestling event later this month, with all proceeds going to the Glenn Tipton Parkinson's Foundation - a charity founded by the heavy metal band's guitarist - and Cure Parkinson's.


    Ozzy passed away at the age of 76 in July after suffering from Parkinson's for more than two decades.

    In a statement, Triple H said: "Ozzy Osbourne's music has been a part of the soundtrack of my life. I was lucky to be a fan and eventually call him a friend. This year, all profits from the sale of Ozzy/Judas Priest's version of War Pigs will be donated to The Glenn Tipton Parkinson's Foundation and Cure Parkinson's. Support his iconic sound and this great cause. For Ozzy."

    War Pigs - a song by Black Sabbath originally - has been the theme song for Survivor Series since the War Games format was adopted in 2022.

    Black Sabbath's version of the track was used in the first two years before being replaced by a T-Pain cover of the song.

    Triple H - whose real name is Paul Levesque - paid a heartfelt tribute to Ozzy, who was a celebrity inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021 after making several appearances at wrestling events, following the sad news of his death and urged him to reunite with late Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister in heaven.

    The 56-year-old star wrote on social media: "Rock and Roll Heaven just received The Prince of Darkness, and if I know Lem, he asked what took you so Fkn'g long to get up there!!

    "Ozzy was one of a kind. His relentless passion for music was something I always looked up to. From the moment I heard the first riff of Paranoid I was hooked on this sound that I never heard before. My dream turned into reality as Ozzy would become involved with WWE and eventually inducted into the Hall of Fame.

    "My condolences to Sharon, your children and grandchildren who had the fortunate pleasure of your time.

    "Give Lem a hug from me and I'll see you on the other side. Give em Hell Ozzy."
