Ex-AEW Stars’ Big Appearance Confirmed During WWE WrestleMania 42 Week
The major appearance of former AEW stars has been confirmed for WrestleMania week.
WWE WrestleMania 42 is just 7 days away, scheduled to take place on April 18 & 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Last year, the company stripped New Orleans as the host of the Show of Shows and decided to “run it back” with Las Vegas, owing to the financial success it achieved.
Unfortunately, those plans have blown back massively as a large number of tickets have yet to be sold.
Despite its struggles, the Stamford promotion has managed to keep the WrestleMania week interesting for fans, allowing them the opportunity to interact with some of the company’s superstars in person.
WWE World is scheduled to operate from April 16 to April 20, providing fans with photo and autograph opportunities with their favorite wrestlers and personalities.
The line-up includes wrestlers from the current decade as well as legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Jim Duggan, The Undertaker, and Trish Stratus.
Through a tweet on X, Fanatics also revealed that former AEW stars Hardy Boyz will also be in attendance on Friday, April 17.
Time to get extreme.🔥
The Hardy Boyz are headed to WWE World on Friday, April 17.

Kevin Owens Appearance At WWE World Canceled
Kevin Owens has been in rehabilitation following a neck surgery that he underwent last year in June.
Owens has not competed since March 2025 and was last seen during December’s Saturday Night’s Main Event while attending John Cena’s final match.
So, fans naturally got excited when the Canadian superstar was announced as one of the attendees during the WrestleMania 42 week.
However, days before the event, they were notified that Owens’s appearance had been canceled.
While Owens misses out, another name that has not been seen in WWE since 2022 will be at the event.
Brandi Rhodes is one of the renowned figures scheduled to be a part of the WrestleMania week.
Following the announcement by Fanatics, she took to X to express her excitement about her first appearance at the event.
First time at WWE world! Excited to sign some Lil’ Bran Bran figures, new and old! 😊 https://t.co/puokgrkxy5
