In addition to Hulk Hogan and The Rock, other well-known wrestling stars will most likely appear at WrestleMania 40. An overview.
Philadelphia - Wrestling fans worldwide are counting down the days until the weekend, when the biggest event in the scene is approaching: WrestleMania. With the 40th edition this year, a significant number is celebrated, and so it is not surprising that the legendary stars of the 80s and 90s, who are actually already retired, were persuaded to make guest appearances. Some names have already been confirmed, while others are persistently rumored. Here's a rundown of the WWE Legends expected at WrestleMania 40.
WWE Legends at WrestleMania 40: These names have already been confirmed
Already confirmed: On Saturday, 51-year-old Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will compete in a tag team match alongside his cousin Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Experts do not rule out further matches. Hulk Hogan's appearance, on the other hand, is still surrounded by a lot of speculation: What is certain, however, is that Hulk Hogan will hold a VIP signing event at "WWE The World" at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia during the WrestleMania 40 weekend.
Stone Cold Steve Austin: Two years ago he surprised fans with an unexpected match against Kevin Owens. His appearance at WrestleMania 30 is still fondly remembered by many. Wrestling portals in the USA such as
wrestletalk.com
rate the likelihood of his appearance as high. A hint in the last issue of “RAW” also suggests this.
Fans remember WrestleMania 30 - when Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Hulk Hogan held the opening. The WWE shows an excerpt:

US sides are speculating about the possibility of her appearing at the WWE spectacle.
The WWE is also expected to pay tribute to the industry's recently deceased greats - such as the founder of the "Four Horsemen" and the suddenly deceased wrestling star Virgil. WrestleMania 40 will take place on April 6th and 7th, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The event will not be broadcast on free TV - fans must purchase paid access to the WWE Network platform.
