WrestleMania 37 is this weekend and the card for both nights has been set.

With seven matches each on Saturday and Sunday, WWE will most likely hold a couple of non-wrestling segments at the Show of Shows. This allows multiple big stars to appear at WrestleMania.

Over the years, the likes of The Rock, John Cena, and The Wyatt Family have made unannounced appearances during promos at 'Mania. This year might be no different, especially with the two-night format and live fans returning for the show.

Many major WWE Superstars are not scheduled for WrestleMania as of right now. It would be a shame if none of these names appeared over the weekend, but all hope is not lost. They could have a purpose on the show in some form or the other.

Here are five unannounced WWE Superstars who would appear at WrestleMania 37, and what they might do at the event.

#5 Bayley could host a WrestleMania edition of 'Ding Dong, Hello!'

It would be criminal to leave Bayley out of WrestleMania. The Role Model was one of WWE's top performers during the "Pandemic Era." She thrived as a heel, showcasing her in-ring brilliance and improving her promo skills tenfold.

Bayley was the SmackDown Women's Champion for over a year as she dominated WWE alongside Sasha Banks. She remained on TV after losing to her former best friend inside Hell in a Cell. Unfortunately, the former Hugger is not doing anything of note right now.

WWE gave Bayley her own talk-show on SmackDown, called 'Ding Dong, Hello!'. It has been entertaining so far. But it has been a while since she was last on TV. A full-time star as talented as her is an absolute must on WrestleMania, whether in a match or a special edition of her talk show.

Fans had hoped that Bayley would host the entire event, but she won't. She could ideally welcome a big guest on 'Ding Dong, Hello!' at the event though. Perhaps one of the names on this list. If not, Bayley could partner with Carmella to become surprise entrants in the Tag Team Turmoil Match on Night One.

#4 Charlotte Flair could make her presence felt at WrestleMania

Her status for WrestleMania seems to be low currently, but Charlotte Flair is still one of WWE's biggest stars. After being medically suspended by the company and testing positive for COVID-19, she has been cleared. But will she make an appearance at the Showcase of the Immortals?

The Queen should be a part of 'Mania even if there isn't a natural place for her on the card. She was pegged to face Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship at the event, but the aforementioned situations forced WWE to change its plans.

Charlotte could make her return at WrestleMania and play a role in the title match between Asuka and Rhea Ripley. She may become a last=minute guest referee, instantly making this much more interesting. After all, the multi-time champion does have a history with both women.

Maybe Charlotte Flair simply shows up after the match. She could attack the winner, turning heel in the process. This could instantly give her a ton of heat heading out of WrestleMania and set up the next title program. If not, The Queen may join Bayley in the Tag Team Turmoil Match on Night One.

#3 The Undertaker could return to WrestleMania for one final pop

This is almost impossible, but it would make for a fantastic WrestleMania moment. The Undertaker has not appeared in front of a 'Mania crowd since 2018, where he squashed John Cena in less than three minutes.

He put on a fantastic Boneyard Match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36, earning praise as one of the best cinematic matches of the "Pandemic Era." He then retired at Survivor Series and cut an emotional, heartfelt promo inside the WWE ThunderDome.

However, 'Taker may want a proper farewell in front of a crowd, and WrestleMania provides him with that opportunity. He could interrupt a lower card Superstar - Elias, maybe. Or it could be on Night Two so he can help Shane McMahon against Braun Strowman.

Seeing The Undertaker appear in front of the fans to deliver his final Chokeslam would be an epic moment. He could then enter the WWE Hall of Fame next year, when WrestleMania goes to Texas. Without a moment like this, The Undertaker's retirement might feel incomplete.

#2 Becky Lynch could shock us at WrestleMania

Becky Lynch's last match was against Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 36. She has not been on WWE TV since May 2020 when she announced her pregnancy and relinquished her RAW Women's Championship to Asuka. The Man has been sorely missed, and WWE's shabby booking of the women's division shows it.

Lynch could return four months after the birth of her first child at the Show of Shows, without doing anything physical. We mentioned Bayley possibly hosting a special edition of 'Ding Dong, Hello!' at WrestleMania. The Man would be the perfect guest on it.

The two horsewomen could have a fun segment. Becky Lynch is incredibly charismatic while Bayley has improved massively and could further her own character. If she is willing to get physical, The Man could lay out The Role Model. This segment will delight a live crowd.

#1 John Cena could surprise everyone at WrestleMania

He may have ruled out a WrestleMania return, but there's always the possibility of John Cena showing up at Raymond James Stadium. He has made surprise appearances at past 'Manias, once while recovery from a shoulder injury.

Cena has not missed a single WrestleMania since his debut in 2002, with his appearance at 'Mania 19 coming on the pre-show. What he does following his surprise appearance is anybody's guess. The 16-time world champion will likely cut a promo.

It could be one that caters to the live crowd until Cena gets interrupted by another superstar. Again, Elias is a possibility. The two have a history at the Grandest Stage of Them All, as Cena took The Drifter out for two straight WrestleManias. He could do so for the third time this year.

The least we can expect from him is an appearance via satellite from his filming bubble, but a live appearance cannot be ruled out. Hopefully, John Cena comes back to WWE for one final run. A storyline for him towards a potential 17th world title victory sounds compelling.
