WrestleMania is always guaranteed to be a star-studded event. Often WWE parades out a cavalcade of legends each year for a quick pop from the crowd. This year will surely be no exception given it will be the first WWE show in front of a crowd since the start of the pandemic.
The surprise returns from yesteryear stars have always been a welcome addition to the show. It's become synonymous with the show. It would feel unusual for the immortals' showcase not to bring out those immortals who made the show so important in the first place.
This year's Hall of Fame class will include members of the 2020 and 2021 classes. This will include the nWo, Rob Van Dam, Kane, The Great Khali, The Bella Twins and many others.
There's also an expectation of seeing faces from past HOF classes. Let's take a look at some of the Hall of Famers who could potentially turn up at this year's WrestleMania.
#5. The nWo reunite at WrestleMania
It appears the nWo have the potential for a pop return at WrestleMania this year. The nWo was the centerpiece of last year's Hall of Fame class. Due to the ongoing pandemic, fans will finally see the legendary group officially inducted this year.
It just makes sense for the group to come out for a quick return. For one, since they're a part of this year's official inductees, we can see them make an appearance to promote their HOF induction. What better way to promote the Hall than to roll out the biggest inductees?
It's also perfectly set up. Hulk Hogan is set to host this year's WrestleMania alongside Titus O'Neil. Since the Hulkster is already there, why not just make it happen?
You can almost picture it. Hulk Hogan is on stage giving a speech in the name of WWE. Suddenly, Hogan rips off the iconic yellow and red shirt to reveal the legendary black and white. Then you hear that classic entrance music with Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and X-Pac all rolling out to flank the Hulkster.
Would you like to see the nWo reunite for an appearance at WrestleMania? It definitely feels possible at this point.
#4. Kane reappears for a one-off appearance with The Undertaker at WrestleMania
Kane should appear at this year's WrestleMania, possibly alongside The Undertaker. Kane is being inducted into the Hall of Fame as a part of this year's class. There's no doubt that Kane has forged a legacy worth commemorating.
The Big Red Machine is truly one of the greatest characters of all time, and that's one of the things WrestleMania encapsulates so well. The larger-than-life characters are what makes wrestling so unique. Why not celebrate that with two of the best making a cameo during the showcase of the immortals?
It almost feels like it's certain that The Undertaker will make an appearance at WrestleMania somehow. Now that he's retired, it's not as certain as to how he will be involved in the show.
It's a safe bet he will be brought back as a special attraction for a moment to make fans happy. We can combine these two things by reuniting the Brothers of Destruction. It's a great way to send off Kane as one of the best performers in the industry's history.
#3. Stone Cold returns to WrestleMania for the fans
Steve Austin could return to WrestleMania to create a moment for the fans. Austin is one of the most iconic superstars of all time. He's so legendary that it feels like he could turn up on any given Mania card.
The Rattlesnake will always be over with the fans. He could come out to a crowd of 15, and it would sound like a hundred. That's exactly why now would be the perfect time for Austin to make an appearance at WrestleMania.
This year has been challenging for many people. As hard as the year has been for the WWE due to no fans, reworked shows, and talent stuck in isolation at times, it's arguably been harder for fans. That's why the company needs to reward them for their loyalty.
The upcoming WrestleMania will be one of the first major sporting events to have fans. This will be WWE's first show with fans in attendance. What better way to show the fans they matter than to let Austin hit a few stunners and have a beer bash?
#2. D-Generation X reunites for one night at WrestleMania
WrestleMania could also see D-Generation X reunite for one night only for an enduring 'Mania moment. Much like Austin, DX could be seen as another over act who'll be wheeled out whenever the company wants some cheers. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
The grandest show of them all is once again a two-night affair. That means WWE will have to stretch for more content for the two nights. Because of this, all hands need to be on standby.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels are always nearby to give WWE some star power. The company guys could always come out as a duo to give the fans a pseudo-DX moment if need be.
The company could also bring the group out in earnest. Seeing the duo flanked by Road Dogg and X-Pac would be an exceptional sight.
It also seems possible for Billy Gunn to appear alongside his longtime stablemates. If Chris Jericho can appear on a show with Steve Austin, why can't Gunn appear alongside DX at WrestleMania?
#1. Goldberg returns to WrestleMania to challenge the Tribal Chief
Goldberg could potentially make his WWE return at WrestleMania. Goldberg hasn't been seen on WWE television since his loss to Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble. Goldberg could return to challenge Roman Reigns at this year's showcase.
It's been reported that Goldberg is still contracted to wrestle at least two more matches in the WWE. It's been a mystery as to who his opponents will be, but a match with the Tribal Chief would make sense.
A bout between Goldberg and Reigns was supposed to occur at last year's WrestleMania. However, when the world went into lockdown, Roman opted to stay home and not risk traveling because of his previous bouts with Leukemia.
The match was hastily changed to Strowman vs. Goldberg, which took place on night one.
If WWE were looking to bring out legends, it would make sense for Goldberg to make an appearance. The master of the jackhammer is a proven draw despite having fallen out of favor with some of the fans.
If Goldberg returns, WWE could finally set up a confrontation, and eventual match, between him and Roman Reigns. What do you guys think?
