WWE WrestleMania 42 is just a few days away and there is still time for some additional elements to be added to the two-night premium live event.

On the road to Mania, WWE has shown an extra focus on celebrity involvement with the likes of Pat McAfee, Jelly Roll, IShowSpeed and Lil Yachty all playing significant roles in storylines.

With the event taking place in Las Vegas, there could be even more guest appearances, whether it be celebrities or WWE legends.

Here are six potential WWE WrestleMania 42 guest appearances.

7. Sexyy Red

Sexyy Red has made multiple WWE NXT appearances since 2024

At WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2026, Sexyy Red made an appearance as the special guest in her hometown of St Louis.

The rapper has been closely associated with WWE in the past few years, showcasing her love for the product.

Considering how much of a fan she is, Red showing up at WrestleMania 42 feels like a real possibility.

Whether it be just appearing in the crowd or getting involved in an interaction with a talent on the roster, there is a variety of ways to use Sexyy Red as a guest at Mania this year.

6. Tyrese Haliburton

Someone else who has become no stranger to the WWE on-screen product in recent years is Tyrese Haliburton.

The NBA All-Star is one of the most popular and known WWE fans in all of sports today.

Often seen in the front row at various events over the years, Haliburton has showcased his love for WWE and wanting to be at the marquee events like WrestleMania.

After his association with Logan Paul in the past, it would not be surprising if WWE used Haliburton alongside The Vision and IShowSpeed in their six-man tag team match against LA Knight and The Usos that will open night one of WrestleMania 42 on ESPN2.

5. Israel Adesanya

In 2023, WWE and UFC merged under Endeavor to become TKO Group Holdings.

Since then, there have been various UFC stars who have appeared in the crowd at different WWE events.

Recently, Israel Adesanya mentioned that he is a huge fan of Oba Femi in an interview.

Adesanya accompanying Femi to the ring during his showdown with Brock Lesnar would be a memorable entrance for ‘The Ruler’ at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.

4. Metro Boomin

Another celebrity who has often shown up on WWE TV over the past few years is Metro Boomin.

The rapper and producer is someone who has actively showcased his fandom into the WWE product.

Going as far as to request making music for different WWE stars, Boomin could play a bigger role alongside the talent on the roster.

Whether it be in a backstage segment or just showing up in the crowd, Boomin feels like a safe bet to bring into play at the WrestleMania 42 PLE.

3. Kevin Hart

One of the most popular Hollywood friendships has developed over the past decade is between The Rock and Kevin Hart.

This has led to the comedian comfirming that he is a wrestling fan and even narrating the opening to WrestleMania 39.

Hart is one of the most known celebrities thanks to his movies, television shows and comedy specials.

Someone who could entertain in a segment featuring someone like John Cena or Danhausen, Hart could appear as a special guest at WrestleMania 42 and play a certain role in bringing more eyes to this huge event.

2. Floyd Mayweather

As well as his WWE appearances over the years, Floyd Mayweather also made a brief appearance at AEW Double Or Nothing 2024

Back at WWE WrestleMania 24 in 2008, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather made his in-ring debut in a win over Big Show.

In the years since then, Mayweather has only made a few appearances on WWE television.

Being a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, the famed boxer could make a return to WWE in some capacity.

Mayweather is a star of a certain level and has his history in WWE, so making a comeback to the company at WrestleMania 42 would make a ton of sense, especially adding his star power to the show.

1. Stone Cold Steve Austin

There have been rumors of Stone Cold Steve Austin returning to the ring at WWE WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia

Back at WrestleMania 41, Stone Cold Steve Austin made an appearance to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for the Immortal Moment with his match against Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart at Mania 13.

‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ then appeared to announce the attendance for the two-night event.

Heading into this year’s WrestleMania 42 show, there have been some rumors regarding a return for Austin in some capacity.

With Mania taking place from Las Vegas, Stone Cold could make another comeback and potentially interact with special guest host John Cena in what should be a memorable segment between these two all-time greats.
