This year Wrestlemania is going to be better than ever as this year’s headlining match has Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar battling to unify the WWE and Universal Championships, the two top prizes in WWE.
Talking about celebrities taking part in WWE, it all started in 1985, when Mohammed Ali gave an appearance in Wrestlemania to set the standard for the show as the pinnacle of pop culture events which continues to date. After that, some big names like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Kim Kardashian, and many more have become a part of the biggest pro-wrestling show before.

The all-famous American Youtuber Logan Paul will team up with The Miz to face Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio, with both explosive media personalities set to make their mark and perhaps employ sneaky tactics.
On the other hand, Hollywood actor, filmmaker, and stunt performer Johnny Knoxville will look to make a “Jackass” out of Sami Zayn when the two unfriendly rivals clash on Wrestlemania 38 on Sunday.
