Nolan Arenado has agreed with the Rockies on a contract extension worth $260 million over the next eight seasons. There is also a little insurance for Arenado as there is a player opt-out clause after three seasons where he could become a free agent after 2021.

This song is also well known as it is the official theme music for Shane McMahon of the WWE.
