We're now just over a week away from WrestleMania and, while there are already plenty of huge matches on the card, WWE is also working on some big surprises for fans.
There have already been rumblings about John Cena playing a role at the Show of Shows and PWInsider Elite is now reporting that WWE is in talks with both Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan about also making an appearance at the two-night event.
It sounds like neither man has agreed to take part at this time and, unfortunately, there's currently no word on what either would be getting up to.
In Austin's case, there's a widespread theory that both he and Cena will show up to help fend off The Bloodline, giving Cody Rhodes the chance to finish his story when he challenges Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. This isn't the first time we've heard Austin's name mentioned regarding this year's WrestleMania, so WWE is clearly keen for him to show up.
As for Hogan, it's highly unlikely that he'll see any physicality given his age and health problems.
Last year, the Hulkster talked about never getting the chance to step into the ring with the Texas Rattlesnake for a match.
"That's the reason I went back to wrestle The Rock was to get in the ring was Stone Cold Steve Austin, because me as a bad guy – as Hollywood Hogan – I could have torn the place down with him," Hogan explained. "You know, because he was the ultimate good guy at the time." But I think he was having some physical problems with his legs and nerve damage, and he was about at the end of his run. So if I had one guy to get in there, it would be [Austin]."
"My whole thing was to move on to Steve, but I had no idea that physically he was hurt," he added. "You know, so I don't know, with all this time passing...how it would even make sense. So you have to be crazy to get back in there my age anyway. But I just haven't talked to him about anything like that ever."
"If he would get in the ring, he would be the guy [for me]," Hogan concluded.
