WrestleMania 35 is merely 10 days away from us. The Road to WrestleMania is about to culminate at the Show of Shows on 7th April as we'll witness the 35th edition of the grandest wrestling event in the history of the business live from the Metlife Stadium, New Jersey.
With the show already making headlines with a number of epic encounters lined up, WWE is all set to deliver a solid WrestleMania to send out a message to everyone that they still are the top dogs in this business.
WrestleMania 35 will witness the first ever Women's Main Event, as Ronda Rousey would defend her RAW Women's Championship against the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble winner, Becky Lynch, and the recently crowned SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte.
WrestleMania is considered as a show which is not just about wrestling, it's about moments. WWE fans often call these moments as "WrestleMania moments". While fans enjoy seeing an underdog realize his dream and win the big prize, another awesome thing about WrestleMania is witnessing the surprise appearances of legends, debutants or a big name from some other industry.

In this article, let's take a look at the 5 Surprising appearances that can happen at WrestleMania 35. Who will get the biggest pop from the fans?
#5 Stone Cold Steve Austin
The hottest storyline going into WrestleMania 35 is that of the RAW Women's Championship involving Becky, Charlotte, and Ronda. Throughout this build-up, the main subject of the story has been "The Man" Becky Lynch.
Ever since she turned heel at SummerSlam last year, her character has constantly been compared with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Her anti-authority figure, her behavior, the way she carries herself, everything makes a fan remember Austin's character.
Hence, an appearance from Stone Cold himself on the grandest stage of them all to confront The Man would be an awesome moment to witness. Just a backstage segment where Austin bumps into Becky wishes her good luck and they share a can of beer. Now that's what you call a WrestleMania moment!
#4 The Rock
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is known for making cameo appearances at the Grandest Stage of them all. Be it the iconic celebration with Austin and Hogan at WrestleMania 30, teaming up with Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 31, or beating down the Wyatt Family alongside John Cena at WrestleMania 32, The Rock has given the fans a number of amazing moments to cherish!
With WWE seemingly planning a match between him and The Big Dog, Roman Reigns, sometime in future, the seeds could be sown at WrestleMania 35 itself. Rocky could make an appearance after Reigns match against Drew McIntyre, play with the crowd a little before mocking Roman a bit.
The Rock need not go full heel, and the segment will most certainly end with The Rock holding Reigns hand high, but a small tease for a future encounter would be awesome to see.
#3 The Undertaker
The Undertaker is arguably the best performer in the history of WrestleMania. Holding the record of maximum appearances as well as maximum wins, Undertaker is known for his once undefeated streak of 21 straight wins at the grandest stage of them all.
Each year, as the Road to WrestleMania starts, the Undertaker shows up in some way or the other to face yet another opponent. Surprisingly, this has not been the case this year. While it can be argued that The Undertaker didn't make a significant appearance last year as well, John Cena had made it clear that the feud was going on even without him showing up.
With The Undertaker currently not booked or advertised for WrestleMania 35, an impromptu appearance or segment would surely make the fans in attendance and watching at home very happy. After all, that cryptic entrance is still one of the best in all of pro wrestling.
#2 Shawn Michaels
Much like The Rock, Shawn Michaels has also been showing up at WrestleManias time and again to give fans a small glimpse of the superstars they grew watching.
Michaels returned to in-ring action last year at Crown Jewel for the first time since WrestleMania 26, where The Undertaker retired him. Among a lot of speculations of him having a match at WrestleMania 35, Michaels made it clear that Crown Jewel was a one-night deal.
But that doesn't stop him from making cameo appearances on the Show of Shows. Michaels can show up during Triple H's match with Batista and assist him to keep the Animal down. If WWE wants to really play with fans emotions, they can give us a backstage moment with Michaels bumping into AJ Styles before his match with Randy Orton. Just that sight would make the fans go berserk!
#1 Conor McGregor
Yes! This might happen. And as soon as at WrestleMania 35. A couple of days ago, Conor McGregor announced his sudden retirement from the world of Mixed Martial Art or MMA.
Now to that, Finn Balor replied by saying "See you at 'mania brother". (You can watch the tweet below)
Now, what does that mean? Simple, Conor McGregor should show up at WrestleMania. But WWE superstars are known to play mind games with the fans, hence there's no confirmation of this tweet having any truth behind it.
Still, an impromptu appearance from the Notorious One would generate shock waves around the entire pro wrestling community. Just his presence in the crowd would keep everyone hyped and guessing what he'll do!
A confrontation with Vince McMahon or a backstage moment with "The Man" Becky Lynch or another ex-MMA player Ronda Rousey could turn out to be quite interesting.
Will he join WWE as Rousey did? Only time will tell. But the signs do point towards that.
