5 legends WWE could recall for WrestleMania 41
WWE WrestleMania 41 will air live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas next year. The promotion will likely have several dream matches set up for The Show of Shows and may have some surprises in store, too.
WrestleMania is the company's biggest event of the year, and the build toward the show has already begun. There may be several legends of the past who appear at the event next year, and some may even compete in a match.
Listed below are five legends WWE could recall for WrestleMania 41.
#5. Rikishi could appear at WWE WrestleMania 41
Rikishi is the father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa in real life. Sikoa is the leader of the new version of The Bloodline and refers to himself as The Tribal Chief. The Usos have reunited with Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn on SmackDown and will be competing against The Bloodline in a WarGames match at Survivor Series at the end of the month.
The Bloodline became fractured after Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL earlier this year. RIkishi could return at WrestleMania 41 to try and bring the family back together once and put an end to their conflict once and for all.
#4. Kurt Angle could return at WrestleMania
Kurt Angle's final match was a shocking loss to Baron Corbin at WWE WrestleMania 35. Corbin's time with the promotion came to an earlier this month as the company elected not to renew his contract. The Lone Wolf is a former United States Champion, but retiring Kurt Angle might be the biggest accomplishment of his career.
Angle could return at WrestleMania and find himself a part of an impromptu match. The legend could perhaps pick up a quick victory over his opponent to get one more win on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
#3. Kevin Nash may show up at WrestleMania next year
WWE legend Kevin Nash recently got into a war of words with Logan Paul and has also taken shots at United States Champion LA Knight in the past. Kevin Nash hasn't competed since 2018 and currently hosts a podcast called Kliq This.
Nash could make a surprise appearance at WrestleMania next year in Las Vegas to have a confrontation with Logan Paul. Wrestling fans would likely side with Nash during the confrontation, and the two stars may be able to create a WrestleMania moment next year.
#2. Trish Stratus could reignite her rivalry with Zoey Stark
Trish Stratus has not wrestled since she was defeated by Becky Lynch in a Steel Cage match at WWE Payback 2023. Zoey Stark also betrayed the legend after the match and hit her with a Z360. Stratus recently hinted that she had unfinished business with the Pure Fusion Collective star.
Stratus could potentially return during the Women's Royal Rumble match in January and have an altercation with Zoey Stark during the match. The two stars could then enter into a rivalry, culminating in a singles match at WWE WrestleMania 41 next year in Vegas.
#1. Stone Cold Steve Austin may compete at WrestleMania
Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38 in Texas and proved that he still had a lot left in the tank during the match. The Rattlesnake recently disclosed that he would be interested in making an appearance at WrestleMania 41 because it was in Las Vegas.
WWE could book Stone Cold Steve Austin for a dream match against CM Punk at WrestleMania now that The Second City Saint has returned to the company. The promotion may also consider having Austin square off against a younger star, such as Bron Breakker, to give the Intercontinental Champion an iconic victory at the company's biggest event of the year.
