WrestleMania is probably the biggest event in the entire pro-wrestling industry. It is where dream matches happen and new stars are born.
This year's event will feature some of the most-awaited dream matches in WWE. Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar will battle it out in a Title vs. Title - "Winner Takes All" match in the main event.
The SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair will defend her title against The Baddest Woman on The Planet, Ronda Rousey. Meanwhile, RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch will battle Bianca Belair in a much-awaited rematch from SummerSlam 2021.
The event is known to showcase the presence of some of the most iconic superstars from the past. Over the years, many legends have made their WWE return at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Just like every other year, fans are expecting some legends to return at the event.
Here are five WWE Legends who could make a return at WrestleMania 38.
#5. WWE Legend The Undertaker may appear at WrestleMania 38
The Undertaker is undoubtedly one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. He has the best record at the Show of Shows, having held an undefeated streak for 21 years straight.
His last appearance at the Showcase of the Immortals was at WrestleMania 36 in 2020, where he was featured in a Boneyard match against AJ Styles. Fans haven't seen him wrestle since then.
This year, the company will immortalize The Undertaker's legacy by inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2022. All Hall of Fame inductees from the class of 2022 are expected to appear at the event, just like every other year.
However, The Phenom deserves a special moment with the fans before he finally hangs his boots. He announced his retirement in 2020 but in the pro-wrestling world, coming out of retirement is not an uncommon practice.
Legends like Edge and Shawn Michaels have previously come out of their retirement, and The Phenom could do something similar.
Who knows? There may be one more match left in The Undertaker's decorated career.
#4. WWE Legend Trish Stratus may return at WrestleMania 38
Trish Stratus is undoubtedly among the most iconic superstars to ever appear in WWE. She is a WWE Hall of Famer who showcased her skills at multiple WrestleManias.
This year, fans have seen Hall of Famer Lita return for another match against Becky Lynch. Trish Stratus is a superstar who can do the same.
Looking at the WWE Legend's Instagram posts, it seems like she's more than fit enough to wrestle in at least one more match. The Show of Shows would be the best place for her to make a comeback to battle a current superstar.
As of now, many important female stars like Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks don't have a finalized match for WrestleMania. Trish Stratus could square off against any of them to entertain the fans in the AT&T Stadium.
#3. WWE Legend John Cena could return at WrestleMania 38
John Cena is one of the most beloved superstars to ever step into a WWE ring. He was portrayed as the face of the company for well over a decade. Basically, WrestleMania seems incomplete without Cena.
The former WWE Champion couldn't appear at last year's Showcase of the Immortals due to COVID protocols. Thankfully, the quarantine rules have now been relaxed, allowing him to make a comeback for one night without sacrificing much time from his Hollywood career.
He is one of the stars who could easily return just weeks before the show and still succeed in building a five-star feud with any credible star. This year, he could surprise his fans by making a surprise appearance at the event.
#2. WWE Legend The Rock could return at WrestleMania 38
Dwayne Johnson, known in the pro-wrestling world as The Rock, is the most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment. He would add incredible value to WrestleMania 38.
Last year's Show of Shows was in Hollywood and fans expected The Great One to appear at the event. Unfortunately, he couldn't be there. However, he can finally appear at this year's event to thrill the audience.
The WWE Universe has wanted to see The Rock take on his cousin Roman Reigns in a dream match for years, and this bout is rumored to take place at the 39th edition of WrestleMania.
A brief confrontation between the two will ensure one of the most memorable moments in WWE history.
#1. WWE Legend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin could return at WrestleMania 38
This year's WrestleMania is set to take place in Arlington, Texas. It is the perfect opportunity for the Texas Rattlesnake to make a comeback to WWE.
Stone Cold Steve Austin has publicly stated that he is physically cleared to wrestle one more match. Looking at his legacy, his appearance at the event is enough to sell the majority of the seats in his hometown. However, a match featuring him will be a blessing for the fans.
As of now, he is rumored to face The Prizefighter Kevin Owens at the event. Owens has been using the iconic Stone Cold Stunner as his finishing move for a while and a "Stunner vs. Stunner" match is perfect for the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Kevin Owens defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin at the Showcase of the Immortals will create a "passing the torch" moment to be remembered for years to come.
