WWE have often brought in new, fresh faces to the WWE after WrestleMania, on the first RAW and SmackDown of the marquee event, either from NXT or from other promotions.

Here, let's take a look at 4 Superstars outside WWE who could debut after WrestleMania 35:


#4 Rob Gronkowski

It's a well-known fact that former NFL player Rob Gronkowski, is a long-time WWE fan, having even come to the aid of his friend and WWE Superstar, Mojo Rawley, at WrestleMania 33.

Gronkowski helped Rawley win the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal after he attacked Jinder Mahal in the ring.

And following his retirement, there has been a lot of buzz about him making the switch over to the WWE. Stephanie McMahon congratulated him and even said that the "doors are always open" for him in the WWE.

Former Universal Champion spoke about the former NFL star in a recent interview, calling Gronkowski a "great athlete".

"It's hard to tell with him. He seems like a crazy enough guy. He seems like he's wild enough and has a great personality. He's clearly a great athlete," said Reigns.

Rawley has not been seen on RAW lately, but could the signing of his friend reinvigorate his WWE career? A tag team of Rawley and Gronkowski could work for both Superstars.

Tenille Dashwood, who went by the ring name Emma in WWE, recently announced that she is a free agent after parting ways with Ring of Honor (ROH). The Australian wrestler left WWE in October 2017, after a few years of competing in NXT and then RAW and SmackDown.

She moved around between NXT and the main roster, but still found opportunities limited on the main roster which led to her leaving the WWE.

Emma was then a part of the indie circuit as well as ROH, which she left last month. Could we maybe see her return to the WWE following WrestleMania 35 and bolster the Women's Division? That's highly possible considering the women's division needs some refreshing, which will probably see a few NXT Superstars get the call-up to the main roster as well.

#2. Kushida

The Japanese Superstar is rumoured to have been at WWE's Performance Center in Orlando, recently, which indicates that an announcement of his signing is set to take happen soon.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider has also reported recently that Kushida could very well make his debut at NXT TakeOver: New York, which will happen just before WrestleMania 35.

If Kushida does sign with the WWE, he will mostly be added to the NXT roster. The former NJPW Superstar was also a former MMA fighter, with six wins from his eight matches back in the 2000s.

#1. Conor McGregor

While this may be a long shot, considering Conor McGregor's past comments about the WWE, which were not particularly good, we all know that McGregor likes money. If Vince McMahon and co. can tempt the Irish star with big bucks, much like Brock Lesnar, he would be one of the biggest coups in sports entertainment.

McGregor is perfect for the WWE - he's athletic, quick, and can trash talk till the sun comes up. He also has an underdog story that fans will back and love him for.

McGregor recently announced his retirement from MMA, and while many don't buy the Irishman retirement announcement, this could perhaps be a way for him to do other things before he returns to the Octagon once again

Finn Balor teased a McGregor appearance with a reply to his retirement tweet, telling his fellow Irishman that he will see him at Mania!
