The Showcase of the Immortals is headed to Las Vegas next year as WrestleMania 41 is going to emanate from Allegiant Stadium as announced by WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque. The last time we saw a major WWE Premium Live Event being held in the same stadium was SummerSlam 2021 where the likes of main event stars such as Becky Lynch made their triumphant return.
The WWE Universe has already begun to speculate which dream matches will take place at WrestleMania 41 with headliners likes of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, and Cody Rhodes expected to be on the show. But as witnessed this year, the fans could be in store to even witness the return of WWE Legends for The Show of Shows next year.
Here are 4 WWE legends who we might see at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas next year:
1. The Rock
The Final Boss of WWE, The Rock stole the show at this year’s WrestleMania with his involvement in the heated rivalry with The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes. The People’s Champion teamed up with Roman Reigns to take down Cody Rhodes and Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins at WrestleMania 40 Saturday in a spectacular main event for the ages.
With WrestleMania 41 taking place in Las Vegas next year, it is highly rumored that The Rock will be appearing on the show. Moreover, it has been heavily rumored that The Rock would compete in a one-on-one showdown with either his heated foe, Cody Rhodes or his iconic cousin, Roman Reigns.
2. John Cena
John Cena sent shockwaves with his surprise appearance in the main event of WrestleMania 40 when the leader of Cenation came to the aid of The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes to even the odds in his title match. The former 16-time World Champion is arguably, one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time with fans roaring their hearts out in his support every time he returns.
WWE Universe has a list of dream matches lined up for Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect before he hangs up his boots for good that he has already set a timeline. So it would make sense for Cena to possibly have one last major match at WrestleMania 41 next year against the likes of Cody Rhodes or his greatest rival, Randy Orton.
3. Stone Cold Steve Austin
The Megastar who has arguably defined The Attitude Era along with The Rock is his iconic rival, Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Texas Rattlesnake stole the show when he competed against Kevin Owens in the main event of WrestleMania 38 Saturday, showing the WWE Universe that he indeed “still got it.”
Moreover, it was heavily rumored that the former WWE World Champion was supposed to make a special appearance at WrestleMania 40 but it didn’t come to fruition due to financial negotiations. With this year’s Show of Shows in the books, WWE can eye to bring Austin next year in Las Vegas for perhaps, an appearance or one last showdown inside the squared circle.
4. AJ Lee
The former WWE Divas Champion, AJ Lee is regarded as one of the most popular women to enter a WWE ring of all time. Lee retired in 2015 and ever since then the WWE Universe has been calling her out for one more match. With the likes of Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Roxanne Perez, there are plenty of opponents who would love to battle AJ in her final match.
However, recently, during an Interview, her husband CM Punk stated that AJ Lee isn’t likely returning to wrestle, but an appearance at the Showcase of Immortals could be on the cards. Much like how Brandi Rhodes made a brief appearance before Cody Rhodes’ match at WrestleMania 40, AJ Lee could do the same for CM Punk delighting the fans with her long-awaiting showing on WWE television.
