Two former WWE stars are set for appearances during WrestleMania 41 weekend.

WrestleMania season is just around the corner and, as well as the two-day spectacular itself, the promotion has begun advertising special events for the weekend’s festivities. As part of this, it has been announced that fans have the opportunity to attend a ‘Superstar Brunch’ as an add-on experience.

The brunches, which take place on both mornings of WrestleMania 41, April 19th and 20th, cost $449. For that, fans get brunch, an event-exclusive souvenir, and an appearance from either Hall of Famer Rikishi or multi-time Women’s Champion Mickie James, depending on which session they choose. There will also be other, yet-to-be-announced WWE Superstar appearances at all of the brunches.

Recently, Nick Aldis revealed that WWE “would love to do more” with Mickie James and he believes it’s only a matter of time until the legendary star is inducted into the Hall of Fame. James most recently appeared at Bad Blood, where she was shown in the audience.

Meanwhile, Rikishi has been retired for five years now, but in recent months he has become more outspoken about storylines revolving around his sons, The Usos & Solo Sikoa, and the rest of The Bloodline.

WWE Hall Of Famer Rikishi Surprised By CM Punk’s Addition To WarGames

Rikishi has expressed his disbelief that CM Punk was added to The Bloodline’s WarGames match at Survivor Series. The star admitted he “didn’t see that coming,” instead expecting Paul Heyman to bring in someone like Brock Lesnar. Despite his initial shock, though, the former Intercontinental Champion realised that the pairing “just fit,” and could lead to some interesting developments going forward.
