WWE WrestleMania entrances are often the biggest and most extravagant entrances that a WWE Superstar can make. Several superstars have walked onto The Grandest Stage of Them All through iconic entrances throughout the years.

WWE icons such as The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and John Cena are well known for the cinematic production level of their WrestleMania entrances throughout their WWE careers.

However, some members of the WWE Universe may be unaware that several up-and-coming WWE Superstars have featured in these iconic WrestleMania entrances.

Due to the amount of extras that are required for the extravagant productions, WWE utilizes talents currently under developmental deals with the company to fill the role required.

Some of the names who cameod during these WrestleMania entrances have since gone on to have incredibly successful professional wrestling careers in and outside of WWE.

Take a closer look at five WrestleMania entrance cameos by then-future WWE Superstars.


#5 Finn Balor (WWE WrestleMania 32)

The WWE World Heavyweight Championship was on the line in the main event of WrestleMania 32. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H defended the title against Roman Reigns at the conclusion of The Showcase of the Immortals in 2016.

However, before the match could begin, WWE COO Triple H made his entrance into AT&T Stadium in spectacular fashion.

Throughout the years Triple H has often showcased spectacular WrestleMania entrances. The Game has been performed to the ring by Motorhead, had Terminator video packages narrated by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and appeared on beautiful thrones before his major WrestleMania match-ups. 2016 was no different.

After a scintillating soliloquy by his wife Stephanie McMahon, Triple H was flanked by an army of figures wearing skull masks and carrying WWE World Heavyweight Championship replica belts as he made his way into battle.

One of the figures underneath the masks was none other than NXT Champion Finn Balor. Triple H is the founder and executive producer of WWE NXT, therefore it was only natural that the NXT Champion at the time would be a part of The Game's WrestleMania entrance.

This wouldn't be Balor's last WrestleMania appearance, as he himself made his debut at the event two years later at WrestleMania 34.

#4 Xavier Woods, Luke Harper, Sami Zayn, Rusev, and more (WWE WrestleMania 29)

WWE WrestleMania is synonymous with The Undertaker. The Deadman is arguably the greatest performer in WrestleMania history. His undefeated streak is the stuff of legend, standing at 21-0 before being broken by Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX.

The Undertaker's matches were often accompanied by spectacular theatrical entrances during his WrestleMania appearances. The Deadman has been played to the ring by Limp Bizkit, ascended from the depths of hell, and walked to Johnny Cash before entering the ring on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

One such spectacular entrance made by The Undertaker was at WWE WrestleMania 29 in 2013 before his match against CM Punk. As The Undertaker entered MetLife Stadium, silloutetes of seemingly lost souls attempted to reach out and touch the demon of Death Valley in a stunning visual.

It was later revealed that several up-and-coming superstars at the time portrayed these "lost souls" during The Undertaker's entrance. Future WWE Superstars such as Luke Harper, Xavier Woods, Sami Zayn, Adam Rose, The Ascension, Kassius Ohno, Byron Saxton, Rusev, and Erick Rowan all cameod during the entrance.

#3 Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, and Charlotte Flair (WWE WrestleMania XXX)

WWE WrestleMania XXX saw Triple H once again make a spectacular entrance prior to his match. In 2014, The Game opened WrestleMania in a match against Daniel Bryan. The winner was to be added to the main event of the evening against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Prior to the match, Triple H made a stunning entrance in which he rose from a golden throne and had a golden skull head-piece and red robe removed by three masked females. The entrance looked as if a New Orleans renaissance painting had come to life in an iconic WrestleMania visual.

It was later revealed that the three masked females who assisted Triple H during the entrance were all WWE NXT talents. Future WWE Women's Champions Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, and Charlotte Flair were all selected to cameo during Triple H's WrestleMania XXX entrance.

Since then, all three of the former WWE Women's Champions have all appeared at WrestleMania events, participating in their own spectacular entrances.

#2 Diamond Dallas Page (WWE WrestleMania VI)

Many in the WWE Universe may be unaware that WWE WrestleMania VI featured a surprise cameo from a future WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

During WrestleMania VI, Rhythm & Blues announced their intentions to sing their new hit song “Hunka, Hunka, Honky Love”. To mark this illustrious occasion, The Honkey Tonk Man and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, along with their manager Jimmy Hart, made a spectacular entrance into the Skydome in Toronto, Canada.

The trio were driven to the ring in a pink Cadillac by none other than future WCW legend Diamond Dallas Page. In reality, Page owned the vehicle, hence why he was able to cameo in the role of the driver.

Eagle eyed viewers can clearly see the Master of the Diamond Cutter in the driver's seat as Rhythm & Blues were accompanied by the “Honkettes” in the back seat. DDP made his own WrestleMania in-ring debut 12 years later at WrestleMania X8.

Ironically, Diamond Dallas Page's WrestleMania in-ring debut would also take place at the Skydome in Toronto, Canada. The WrestleMania journey truly came full circle for the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

#1 CM Punk (WWE WrestleMania 22)

Former WWE Champion CM Punk has had a serious amount of success at WrestleMania events over the years. CM Punk won back-to-back Money in the Bank ladder matches and retained the WWE Championship on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Punk also faced off against high-profile opponents such as Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, and The Undertaker at WrestleMania during his WWE career. However, CM Punk actually made his unofficial WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania 22 in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.

The main event of WrestleMania 22 featured John Cena defending the WWE Championship against Triple H. Before the match, Cena made a visually incredible WrestleMania-worthy entrance.

John Cena participated in a Chicago-inspired gangster entrance. The WWE Champion entered the All State Arena dressed as a Mafia boss and carrying a trademark early 20th century Tommy Gun in his hands.

Furthermore, a vintage Prohibition style vehicle also entered the All State Arena with more gangsters hanging onto the sides. One of the gangsters was none-other than CM Punk.

At the time, CM Punk was signed to a developmental deal and was competing in WWE's developmental territory OVW. However, Punk would make his WrestleMania debut 12 months later in the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 23.
