WrestleMania 35: 4 WWE Legends Who Could Confront Elias At The Show Of Shows

As we know by now, WWE superstar Elias is set to perform a live concert at this coming Sunday's WrestleMania 35 show, which one would expect to be interrupted by a big name babyface.

This is the perfect opportunity for WWE to have a legendary name from the past confront the current Raw star, as many will be expecting to see a significant name interrupt his live show at MetLife Stadium.

There are some legends who will be backstage at WWE's biggest show of the year, so it's not like the company won't have any big names in town for the event. On top of that, it's probably pretty safe to assume that they figured out who is going to end up in the ring with Elias prior to the performance being announced.

As of this writing, there are four potential names who could confront Elias, starting with this man!

#4 Hulk Hogan

Even though WWE hasn't used him a ton, Hulk Hogan is officially back in the company, and according to Mike Johnson of PW Insider, the legendary "Hulkster" will be at MetLife Stadium for this coming Sunday's WrestleMania 35.

The report didn't describe what Hogan's role would be at the event, or if he'll even appear on television at all. It's very possible that he could just be there to film some stuff for the WWE Network, as the company hasn't teased that the 65 year old former World Heavyweight Champion will be at their biggest show of the year.

This year's show will be in the New York market, which is certainly one of the most pro-Hogan regions in the United States .

If he is scheduled to appear at the show, this is really the only role for him that makes sense, even though he probably won't be allowed to do anything physical.

#3 The Rock

Elias has called out The Rock on more than one occasion, which has led many to believe that the two will be face to face at some point, possibly at this year's WrestleMania.

It's pretty safe to assume that if The Rock does appear, he won't be competing in a match, as it would be a pretty bonehead move by WWE to not promote a match featuring arguably their biggest star in history in advance.

But The Rock could come out with a guitar in hand to do somewhat of a duel with Elias before either shaking his hand and endorsing him, or by taking him out with a Rock Bottom and People's Elbow following the concert.

This is really the only potential role for The Rock at this coming Sunday's show, unless the company wants to have him ringside to support his cousin Roman Reigns during his showdown with Drew McIntyre.

#2 Steve Austin

Also according to PW Insider, WWE is reportedly making plans that involve Steve Austin at WrestleMania 35.

"We are told that WWE is currently finalizing plans on other names from the past they are seeking to bring in WrestleMania weekend as well, with Steve Austin's name floating around quite a bit."

Much like with The Rock, it's pretty safe to assume that Steve Austin won't be competing in an impromptu match against Elias at WrestleMania 35, but rather, he'd come out and either endorse him or give him a Stunner, and if I had to guess, it'd probably be the latter.

The last time Steve Austin made an onscreen appearance at a WrestleMania event was back at the show's 32nd installment, where he joined fellow Hall of Famers Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels in a memorable in-ring segment with the League of Nations and The New Day.

#1 John Cena

After it was reported that WWE has a match booked for John Cena at WrestleMania 35, which will, as of this writing, be against a mystery opponent, fans and pundits started racking their brains to figure out who the match will be against, but it's rather obvious.

Sure, there are some who think that Cena will take on Lars Sullivan, as that was the original plan several months ago. However, it's more likely that he'll interrupt Elias, have a match with him where he'll either win or lose, and then after the match, he'll get taken out by the debuting Sullivan, setting up a match between the two for a future date.

Also, Sullivan destroying Cena after a match with Elias would be the perfect way to write the former 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion off of the show for a while, as he'll likely resume his work in Hollywood after this Sunday's big event.
