WrestleMania 35: 5 Superstars who could return at WrestleMania 2019 & 5 who may not

WrestleMania, the Show of Shows, and the biggest night for WWE will be held at the MetLife Stadium on April 7, 2019. The packed card has quite a few matches that have the potential to be show-stealers, which includes the match for the four big titles in WWE - the Universal Championship, WWE Championship, as well as the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship.

There's enough star power on the card to make the WrestleMania 35 PPV the best in WWE's rich history. WrestleManias are usually about drama, action, athleticism, and surprises.

WWE usually keeps its cards close to its chest regarding the Superstars - past and present - who could make a return to the WWE at the marquee show.

Here, let's take a look at 5 Superstars who could return at WrestleMania 35 & 5 who may not:

---

#1 John Cena - Could Return

John Cena

WWE has been tight-lipped about the status of John Cena for WrestleMania 35. Cena, who had a short and uneventful match against The Undertaker last year at WrestleMania 34, was for a long time believed to be Kurt Angle's last opponent in the WWE.

But WWE pulled a huge swerve when Angle announced that Baron Corbin would be his final opponent in a WWE ring at WrestleMania 35.

The rumour around Cena's WrestleMania 35 status has been that Cena could come out to perhaps interrupt some other Superstar's segment, with many predicting that it could Elias's performance at the MetLife Stadium.

But we can't rule out a last minute switch in the Angle match. Cena could maybe attack Corbin and give fans the match that they have wanted for a long time - Kurt Angle vs. John Cena.

#1 The Undertaker - Won't Return

The Undertaker and John Cena faced off last year at WrestleMania 34

The Undertaker has not been on WWE television since his match at Crown Jewel, where he teamed up with Kane to take on Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Since that match, 'Taker has been a part of a few wrestling conventions and non-WWE interviews.

It looks highly unlikely that The Undertaker will wrestle at WrestleMania 35, or even make a surprise appearance, considering how there's been absolutely no build for his Wrestlemania 35 appearance.

One theory that was floated about recently is that 'Taker could interrupt Elias' musical performance, but, to me, that makes no sense as there's been no build to the feud. The Undertaker and Elias have not faced each other in the past, and will possibly not in the future as well.

#2 Dolph Ziggler - Could Return

Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler made a surprise return at the Royal Rumble earlier this year, just days after announcing that he will be away from the WWE to concentrate on his WWE career.

Earlier last month, Ziggler had this to say about his agreement with WWE:

"Technically, I am, yes. It's weird because for the last two years I've had somewhat of a handshake agreement, kind of behind closed doors deal with WWE. I've been able to do a lot of things, on my own, not at WWE, just because of the relationship we've had for the last 14 years. I have a bit of a handshake agreement right now, but we'll know some more details in the coming months."

Although he may not have any feuds currently, he could return to take revenge on Drew McIntyre, who brutalized him on RAW. McIntyre faces off against Roman Reigns in a singles match at WrestleMania 35.

He was featured in a few videos for WWE's YouTube channel recently, which may indicate that he is set to return to the WWE.

#2 The Rock - Won't Return

The Rock

The Rock has spoken about how he wants to return to the WWE, but with a stacked film career, where he's a producer and actor, Dwayne Johnson may not have the time to accommodate WWE in his packed schedule.

There have been rumors that WWE could bring back some legends for a segment at WrestleMania 35, but The Rock may not feature on the show as he is currently shooting the sequel of the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle movie.

The Rock even missed a few shooting dates recently for the movie as he fell ill.

“I was so sick that I couldn’t finish the job,” said The Rock.

The Rock's last appearance in the WWE was three years ago at WrestleMania 32, where he defeated Rowan in six seconds, in the penultimate match of the night.

#3 Bray Wyatt - Could Return

Bray Wyatt hasn't been on WWE television for quite a few months

Bray Wyatt has been off WWE television and WWE live shows for quite some time now, with his big return show happening at Starrcade in November, where he defeated Baron Corbin, while his last RAW match was back in August, when he was teaming up with Matt Hardy.

Wyatt is currently fit and healthy, but WWE does not have any storylines to put him in, according to various reports.

With Matt Hardy having moved to SmackDown to team up with brother Jeff, Wyatt will probably return to the WWE as a singles star.

PWInsider reported this week that Wyatt is in New York City ahead of WrestleMania 35 and that there is a possibility that he could make an appearance at the Show of Shows, on Sunday.

Wyatt recently announced that he and WWE announcer Jojo Offerman, are expecting a baby soon.

#3 Sami Zayn - Won't Return

Sami Zayn has been out of action since June 2018 as he had to have double shoulder surgery

Like fellow Superstar and friend Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn had to sit out a few months due to injury, as he had to have double shoulder surgery. Zayn has been out of action since June 2018, with his last match coming against Bobby Lashley at the Money in the Bank PPV.

Recent reports have suggested that Zayn is fit and could return to action, although we are unsure where he will slot in at WrestleMania 35, as his friend Kevin Owens, also does not have a match, currently.

Zayn was last seen on RAW along with Kevin Owens, but with The Prizefighter now on the blue brand, it remains to be seen which brand Zayn will be put in, after his return.

#4 Hulk Hogan - Could Return

Hulk Hogan

It seems that Hulk Hogan will be involved in WrestleMania weekend in some form or the other. He was a part of the team that announced that next year's WrestleMania, WrestleMania 36, will be held in Tampa.

Rumors have indicated that Hogan could be a part of WrestleMania Axxess, WWE's fan convention on WrestleMania week, while other reports have indicated that he could induct his friend Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Reports have not ruled out a brief appearance at the WrestleMania 35 show, as he as well as Stone Cold Steve Austin have been linked with a surprise WrestleMania appearance.

Since being re-integrated back in the WWE, Hogan has made one appearance at a PPV, as he was the host of the show.

#4 Kane - Won't Return

Kane

Like The Undertaker, Kane's last appearance in the WWE was back at the Crown Jewel PPV. Kane, the mayor of Knox County, has been busy with his duties as a civil servant.

Mike Johnson of the PWInsider reported recently that Kane, like Bray Wyatt, is set to be in New York City during WrestleMania weekend.

While a reunion with The Undertaker will bring the roof down at the MetLife Stadium, we aren't sure what the two could be doing at the Show of Shows as one Superstar they last feuded with, Triple H, has a high-profile match against Batista, while the other, Shawn Michaels, has not been on WWE television for quite a while.

There is a possibility that he could be another replacement option for Baron Corbin in the match against Kurt Angle, but I'm not sure if fans would enjoy the two veteran Superstars, who are on the wrong side of 50, duke it out.

#5 Lars Sullivan - Could Return

Could the NXT Superstar finally debut on the main roster at WrestleMania 35?

NXT's Lars Sullivan was supposed to be a part of the group of Superstars, which consisted of the likes of Ricochet, Tommaso Ciampa, Aleister Black, EC3 and Johnny Gargano, to make the jump to the main roster.

But an unfortunate nervous breakdown led to Sullivan not showing up. Sullivan, though, teased a return at WrestleMania 35 as he replied to Elias' tweet, but quickly deleted it.

Sullivan tweeted this: “They don’t know what to do with ya huh? I’ll tell ya what, the ol Sullster knows exactly what to do with ya. All I’m saying is you better be playing a good song at Mania”

There's a possibility of Sullivan interrupting Elias' musical performance this Sunday at WrestleMania 35 and officially making his switch to the main roster in a big way!

#5 Jason Jordan - Won't Return

Jason Jordan

It is quite unfortunate what has happened to Jason Jordan. The former American Alpha tag team specialist had to undergo a serious neck surgery which has put him on the shelf for over a year.

Unfortunately for Jordan, it doesn't look like there's a way he will return back into the ring anytime soon.

Jordan is rumoured to have been working backstage as a producer. WrestleVotes revealed earlier last month that the former WWE RAW Tag Team champion has also been sitting in creative meetings backstage alongside the likes of Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, and Bruce Pritchard.

Although it is nice to see Jordan still be involved in the WWE in a backstage role, it's a pity that he's not showing his phenomenal ability inside the ring. I think it's safe to say that Jordan will not be on the WrestleMania 35 card, although a surprise return to help his "father" Kurt Angle defeat Baron Corbin, would get an incredible pop from the New Jersey crowd!
