WrestleMania events are famous for bringing celebrities to WWE, whether it be for a match, performance, or to just sit in the crowd as fans. This year’s grandest stage of them all in Philadelphia will be no different.
Meek Mill has already received an invitation from Triple H to attend WrestleMania 40. Now, it appears that they are teasing more than just Meek Mill sitting in the crowd for the showcase of the immortals.
Meek Mill x WrestleMania XL
During this week’s episode of WWE RAW, a commercial hinted at a possible WrestleMania performance from Grammy-nominated rapper Meek Mill. This would be appropriate, since he hails from the host city.

Following the airing of the commercial, Triple H took to social media to urge Meek Mill to keep his schedule open for WrestleMania. In another indication of Meek Mill’s potential WrestleMania performance, Triple H shared another teaser video titled “Dreams and Nightmares” later that evening.
It appears that there is a real possibility of Meek Mill showing up at WrestleMania 40 for something other than just watching the show.

Celebrities at WrestleMania
WWE has booked matches with celebrities in the past to light up the WrestleMania stage. Johnny Knoxville will never forget his Anything Goes match against Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 38, and there are so many celebrities who created everlasting moments in WWE history.
Pete Rose, known for his career as a player and manager for the Cincinnati Reds, made multiple WrestleMania appearances. Charlie Hustle belongs in the MLB Hall of Fame, but he is in the WWE HOF for a reason. At WrestleMania XIV, he served as a guest ring announcer and engaged in a physical altercation with Kane. Also, at WrestleMania XV, he donned the costume of the San Diego Chicken and encountered Kane once again for a punishing experience.
Floyd Mayweather Jr stepped into the WWE ring at WrestleMania XXIV for a No Disqualification match against the towering Big Show. Similarly, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal made waves at WrestleMania 32 by participating in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Lawrence Taylor, known for his career as a linebacker for the New York Giants, took center stage at WrestleMania XI against Bam Bam Bigelow. Meanwhile, Mike Tyson made a memorable appearance at WrestleMania XIV as the ringside enforcer for the main event.
Even figures from the music industry have graced the WrestleMania stage, such as Ozzy Osbourne, who is a heavyweight in heavy metal along with WWE Hall of Famer. At WrestleMania 2, Osbourne took on the role of manager for The British Bulldogs during their match against The Dream Team.
These celebrity appearances have become an integral part of WrestleMania’s legacy, and those names are just a drop in the bucket. There are many more that we could list, because there is also no shortage of celebrities who would love an experience under WrestleMania’s bright lights.
We will have to see if Meek Mill is able to block off his schedule for WrestleMania 40. By the look of things, they certainly have something planned.
