WWE Plans on Having Multiple Legends Compete at WrestleMania 32

With just three days until WrestleMania 31, the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter states that WWE plans on having multiple legends compete at WrestleMania 32 in Arlington, Texas. The event will be held at AT&T Stadium, as previously reported, and will need a lot of star power to sell-out and fill up the venue.

According to the report, WWE executives are asking any WWE legend that can still compete to possible appear and work the event. The only person that’s been ruled out already, is two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair.

Undertaker is another name that is being discussed carefully, as whether or not he agrees to work his last match ever at WrestleMania 32 could possibly alter the course of how his match with Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31 will turn out. ‘Taker is said to be willing, but his body will tell the story on March 29.

WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and former WWE Champion Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson both have been discussed for matches, and definitely appearances at WrestleMania 32. While Austin may only appear as a special guest referee, his name being attached to the card would sell a significant amount of tickets. However, if it was “one more match” for the Rattlesnake, the buys would be astronomical.

The Rock is currently penciled in to face current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar at the event, although with a year to plan, the card could always change. However, Johnson has disclosed that the match is being discussed, and that he would love a rematch with Lesnar. The last time the two crossed paths, Johnson lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Lesnar at “SummerSlam” in 2002.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has been adamant about competing in one last bout before he not only hangs up his wrestling boots, but burns them. Hogan has been training vigorously for months to re-appear inside the squared-circle sometime soon. April 3, 2016 may be the day, as WWE will want anyone that has ever had drawing power to appear on the card.

This could lead to Legends being included in the third annual André The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, as well as main event matches. Sting, who only signed a talent contract for six dates and one match at WrestleMania 31, will likely be asked to face The Undertaker in Arlington, bringing to life one of the all-time biggest “dream matches” that have been asked for by fans. Not only by fans, but both Sting and ‘Taker have said they’d love to face each other.

With both men living in Texas, and WrestleMania 32 and the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony taking place there, Sting and Undertaker are rumored to be facing each other in their last match ever, and possibly be inducted into the Hall of Fame the same weekend.

While it’s too early to say who all will be appearing at WrestleMania 32 this far in advance, it’s safe to say that 2016’s event will likely be the biggest WWE has ever hosted.
