Major returns could happen at WrestleMania 42.

WrestleMania 42 is only days away from taking over Sin City, i.e., Las Vegas, at Allegiant Stadium on April 18 and 19.

Both nights have stacked match cards with some of the biggest WWE superstars of the past and present.

Furthermore, the event could garner major attention if any major surprise returns occur. So here are the five WWE superstars who could make a significant comeback at The Show of Shows.

5. Trish Stratus

Trish Stratus has been confirmed to be in Las Vegas for the WrestleMania 42 week festivities. The Diva of the Decade will appear at WWE World and host Mania watch parties.

With Stratus already in town to build hype for WrestleMania, it could also lead to a potential appearance at either of the two nights of the show as well.

Bron Breakker’s impressive ascent was derailed at the start of the road to WrestleMania 42. The Unpredictible Badass has been on the sidelines due to a hernia injury, but a recent report stated that he was internally cleared for a return.

It could happen at WrestleMania 42, where Breakker could interfere in his rival, Seth Rollins‘ match against The Ring General Gunther.

3. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has been out of action due to serious neck issues for more than a year. The Prize Fighter was last seen in attendance for John Cena‘s farewell match.

He could return to television at WrestleMania 42, either by being in the audience or by appearing in a backstage segment.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is a native of Las Vegas, which plays host to WrestleMania 42 this year. The Bionic Redneck made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 41 last year in Vegas, and WWE could utilize his influence and star power by scheduling another surprise return of Austin for this year’s Show of Shows.

With rapid ticket sales concerns and major setbacks on the road to WrestleMania 42, WWE might have to play its secret card and bring back one of the biggest stars, The Rock.

The Final Boss was heavily rumored to make an appearance last year at WrestleMania, but it did not happen. However, he could finally be summoned back at this year’s show and stun the audience with his blockbuster return.

When and where will WrestleMania 42 take place?

The 42nd edition of the PLE will be a two-night event on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Who will headline the two nights of WrestleMania?

Night 1 will be headlined by Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton, while Night 2 will close with CM Punk putting the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Roman Reigns.
