With WWE lacking in star power due to injuries or other commitments, who are some athletes that you would like to see on the show? Is it a world famous soccer player? Some professional basketball player. How about a world class slugger. NFL superstar? Since it's their off-season. Cameo by a UFC star? Boxer? Who can realistically and potentially add some flair to the Wrestlemania 32 card in Texas.

Rousey's a bit up in the air now, but Conor McGregor would be interesting.
Hell, Dana would probably be all for it if WWE plugged the UFC 2 game. It's being released around that time I believe.

Sheamus and Becky Lynch w/Connor McGregor vs. anyone would be something I can see advertised. Irish Invasion.

Better idea.
Write better f***ing wrestling so you don't have to throw millions at some moron who won't be there on Monday.

Let's remake the whole Cyndi Lauper thing from the 80's with Katy Perry.

Oh, and, if Vince really wants to spend some money, why not some Dallas Cowboys legends (or the Cowboy cheerleaders)?
Go all out and have Troy Aikman, Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith & Roger Staubach backstage drinking Coca-Cola™ with Adam Rose & Santino. Have El Torito chasing the cheerleaders around catering. Induct Jerry Jones into the WWE Hall of Fame!

Could they get Kobe Bryant in his retirement year? April 3, 2016 9:30 EST Celtics vs. Lakers He's a little tied up. Hockey and Basketball players won't work. Baseball is in spring training. NFL players are most likely.

There needs to be a Vince McMahon-Jerry Jones confrontation. Battle of the crazy old out of touch meddling rich guys!

The problem with a sports person is outside of football and basketball everything is niche and you are not expanding interesting outside of males 18-40. Literally the only way a celeb is worth it imo is if they are Cyndi Lauper/Mr. T 2015 fame level adjacent then go for it. IE if they could get Katy Perry,Justin Beiber or someone from Big Bang Theory and have some kind of useful angle it would get huge media attention. Snooki,Maria what's her name or some boxer or non Ronda UFC fighther would just be pissing money and effort away.

Wrestlemania is a worldwide event; no footballers, basketball players or other sports bores no-one outside of America has f***ing heard of.

Maybe Wayne Rooney and King Barrett can finish their feud once and for all.
Or Lionel Messi vs. Kalisto.

David Haye/Tyson Fury* could be in someones corner and have the obligatory "knock out an irritating loudmouth Post match" spot
*But for gods sake WWE keep a mike away from him if you don't want bad press
