Wrestlemania 40: Sylvester Stallone approached for an appearance
According to WrestleVotes, WWE is very interested in having Stallone in for WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. It’s not clear how far the discussions have progressed between the two parties but he’s being considered for a special role,
“Sources within WWE indicate there is interest in collaborating with Sylvester Stallone for WrestleMania in some form. While any communication status is unclear, I’m told there’s hope for it. Whether it ultimately ends up happening or not is to be determined. Stallone, born in NYC, gained fame through the iconic Rocky films, deeply associated with Philadelphia.”
Stallone has previously been associated with the WWE after he inducted Hulk Hogan into the Hall of Famer back in 2005. If he does sign a deal with the WWE then Stallone himself could be considered for a Hall of Fame induction under the celebrity wing during the Wrestlemania 40 weekend.
WrestleMania 40 is set to go down at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday and Sunday, April 6 and 7. At this point, the rumors suggest that Stallone could be doing the introductory video package for the annual WWE PLE if he does sign a deal with the WWE.
