A host of big names were backstage for WrestleMania 38, which took place in Dallas, Texas on 2 and 3 April.

Fightful Select reports that a host of legends and Hall of Famers were in the house. Their number included Brandi Rhodes (presumably there for her husband Cody's grand return to the promotion), Summer Rae, Jeff and Karen Jarrett, Trish Stratus, The Bella Twins, Michelle McCool, and Jimmy Hart, with others also present.

None of the above appeared on camera.

Interestingly, it is almost noted that leading indie group Game Changer Wrestling had a suite at the event, with their list of attendees including former AEW man Joey Janela. A number of wrestlers from Tony Khan's promotion were also visiting behind the scenes.

WrestleMania 38 was built largely around appearances from legends of previous eras. On night one, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin wrestled Kevin Owens in his first match in 19 years, while night two saw WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon do the same, pulling off his jacket and shirt to face Pat McAfee after the former NFL punter's victory over Austin Theory. Elsewhere, the Hall of Fame's Class of 2022 headliner The Undertaker was paraded on both nights.
