Throughout its four decades in existence, WrestleMania has hosted countless celebrity guests. Ozzy Osbourne, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Maria Menounos, and more have stopped by WWE’s equivalent of the Super Bowl. One would imagine that, in the spirit of tradition, celebrity appearances will occur throughout the two nights of WrestleMania XL, but few would be as fitting as Sylvester Stallone. After all, the actor is no stranger to professional wrestling and its stars. For instance, he famously worked with Hulk Hogan on 1982’s “Rocky III.” In 2005, Stallone took part in the multi-time WrestleMania headliner’s WWE Hall of Fame induction.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that WrestleMania XL will take place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Though it’s true that Stallone was born in New York City, he’s undeniably synonymous with the City of Brotherly Love and has been since the 1970s, thanks to his iconic portrayal of Rocky Balboa, who makes a name for himself in the boxing ring while repping his hometown of Philadelphia. Thus, it’s a no-brainer to try and bring in the man behind the Italian Stallion for an appearance at the Philly wrestling supershow.
We’ll have to wait and see if Sylvester Stallone appears at WrestleMania XL when the highly-anticipated event unfolds on April 6 and 7.
