5 Legends That Could Return At WrestleMania

Will We See Any Legends Return At The Grandest Stage Of Them All?
Will We See Any Legends Return At The Grandest Stage Of Them All?

It's WrestleMania season everyone, so anything can happen.

Because anything can happen it makes people wonder if any of the WWE legends that we know and love will return to the company at WrestleMania.

If they do, it is usually not a long term storyline. The usual occurrence is that of legends like Steve Austin, Mick Foley and Shawn Michaels returning for a segment at the Show of Shows, so they can beat up some lower-card superstars and generate some hype.

Overall, it doesn't matter if it is just a one-night thing, because when that music hits, and a legend walks down to the ring, we all lose our minds, no matter whether we are watching from home or there in person.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Some WWE legends could be returning this year at 'Mania and these are the 5 who are the most likely candidates -


#5 Shawn Michaels

"Mr. WrestleMania" Shawn Michaels could appear at the event

Do you remember that Shawn Michaels wrestled last year? I honestly forgot, and that's depressing. But let's forget about Saudi Arabia and remember the legendary heartbreak kid.

There is nothing I love more than watching a perfectly-delivered superkick, and although he is old now, HBK can probably still perform a good one.

He is definitely going to be in town for the show as he is a producer in NXT, but it is not guaranteed that he will appear. He could do a few different things if he does appear on the show - he could interrupt the Elias concert and maybe give us a verse of 'sweet chin music' that we can remember forever.

He could interfere in his best friend, Triple H's match against 'The Animal' Dave Batista. He interfered in Hunter's match with Sting at WrestleMania 31, and could likely do the same thing again this year. Either way, it is always a treat to listen to his entrance music.

#4 Ric Flair

The Batista vs Triple H feud has been awesome. Out of all the matches at 'Mania, that is the one that I am personally most excited for.

Part of that storyline was Batista beating poor Ric Flair half-to-death on Raw a few weeks ago. Flair doesn't even have to appear in front of the live crowd; he could just do a backstage interview and be asked about the match.

Flair will probably be there as his daughter is going to be in the first-ever women's main event - the first member of the family to do so, since he never main-evented the Showcase of the Immortals. Whatever he does, it would be great to see the 16-time world champion at WrestleMania.


#3 Stone Cold Steve Austin

What?
What?

It's WrestleMania, so if there was ever an excuse for us fans to see Steve Austin again, this is it.

Every superstar wants to be on the receiving end for Steve Austin's stunner, and I'm sure Elias is no different. The pop would be huge - Austin coming to the ring, hitting Elias with the Stunner, and then drinking a few beers at Metlife Stadium. What could be better than that?

#2 The Undertaker

While The Undertaker doesn't have a match at WrestleMania this year, he is scheduled for WWE's currently-unnamed show in Saudi Arabia, which takes place in May.

Considering Undertaker's legacy at the WrestleMania, even if Vince is really angry at Taker for contributing to Starrcast II - and possibily making an appearance there - he can make an exception for the man who has the longest undefeated WrestleMania streak. The Undertaker hasn't missed the Grandest Stage of Them All since WrestleMania 2000, where he was unable to compete due to injury.

Whether it's just an appearance or an impromptu match, there is a big chance that the Deadman could show up.


#1 The Rock

The Rock hasn't appeared at WrestleMania since he beat up the Wyatt Family at WrestleMania 32 in Dallas.

Given his status in Hollywood, he is a busy man. But since he hasn't been in WWE for a while, surely he can get one day off from whichever movie he's filming this week, to have a one-off appearance.

He doesn't have to set up a feud or do a big angle - it would just be nice to see him inside a ring again. Whether it happens or not, it's definitely a possibility.

Let me know which legend you think could be appearing at WrestleMania 35 down below.
