Previous WrestleMania's have had the wrestling calendar’s most highly-anticipated matches and this year’s card - across two nights - is no different.

This year’s Showcase of the Immortals will be extra special, too, with the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin and appearances from celebrity duo Logan Paul and Johnny Knoxville.

Below, marvelbet369.com looks at the sports stars and celebrities who have appeared at WrestleMania over the years and how much they were paid to do so...

Muhammad Ali and Mr T - $100,000

The inaugural WrestleMania took place inside the iconic Madison Square Garden in 1985.

Hollywood star Mr T teamed up with Hulk Hogan to defeat Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper in the main event.

Boxing great Muhammad Ali brought more star power to the match by being the special guest referee.

It is understood that Mr T was so upset with his own lack of offence that WWE chiefs gave him another WrestleMania bout the year after where he beat Piper in a boxing match.

But what would have cheered the Clubber Lang actor up was that he was the , ahead of Ali, as he raked in $100,000.

Mike Tyson - $3.5million

Following two successive defeats to his boxing rival Evander Holyfield, Tyson starred for WWE as a special outside enforcer in the main event of WrestleMania 14 between Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels.

He played a big role in the match, too, as Iron Mike double-crossed Michaels, whom he later knocked out, with a quick three-count to allow Austin to win the world title.

At the time, Iron Mike was serving a suspension from boxing and was supposedly down to his last $150,000 – a lot to many, but not to his extravagant lifestyle – and Vince McMahon saw the perfect opportunity to pounce.

Former WWE commentator Jim Ross claimed McMahon did everything he could to keep Tyson happy, which included making his son, Shane, the boxer’s concierge and buying him a motorbike.

And for his appearance at WrestleMania and the few guest appearances leading up to it, The Baddest Man on the Planet was offered $3.5million!

Floyd Mayweather - $20million

Another boxing crossover saw Money Mayweather have a high-profile match against Big Show at WrestleMania 24.

The undefeated boxer was reportedly paid $20million for the match, which lasted under 12 minutes and actually ended up BREAKING Show’s nose!

And in an interview, Big Show revealed he actually told his rival to do it…

He said: "I told Floyd to break my nose. If he didn't do something huge that night, our angle was dead in the water.

"It's just the size disparity, I was trying to do something different than a normal wrestling angle, so this is an opportunity with a trained professional, who I trusted, and is one of the greatest fighters who ever boxed [to do something special].

"I'd spent a whole year messing around the ring boxing, so I knew he knew how to break my nose without shoving it through the back of my head. It was a left hook, it was awesome.

"There's a way he could have broken my nose that would have sprayed it all over my face, I mean, I can do that.

"I can hit someone in the nose and spread it all over their face - Floyd did it and it was fine."

Snoop Dog - $75,000-100,000

WrestleMania 32 was an historic show for women’s wrestling with ‘the Divas Championship’ being rebranded as ‘the Women’s Championship’.

Charlotte Flair came out on top by beating Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch in a memorable triple threat match.

Rapper Snoop Dog, who had also appeared at WrestleMania 24 and 27, performed ‘Sky's the Limit’ for Banks’ music entrance.

The WWE Hall of Famer also accompanied Banks to the ring as the moment was made extra special with the pair being real-life cousins.

Snoop Doggy Dogg can command anything between to perform - having also served as the Master of Ceremonies during the Playboy BunnyMania Lumberjack match at WrestleMania XXIV.

But he recently revealed a row with WWE over appearing in rivals AEW meant McMahon's company were forced to shell out double his usual rate to include him in an upcoming video game!

Shaquille O’Neal

O’Neal’s time in a WWE at WrestleMania 32 was swift.

The former NBA star and Big Show had a classic stand-off in the ring during the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

They put their hands on each other’s throats, before being eliminated at the same time by several wrestlers.

It yes to be revealed what O'Neal was paid for the brief, albeit memorable, cameo.

Donald Trump - $4 million

Trump feuded with Vince McMahon in a Hair vs Hair Battle of the Billionaires match at WrestleMania 23 in 2007.

Both powerhouses picked a wrestler to represent them with Trump’s man, Lashley, beating McMahon’s pick Umaga.

It resulted in McMahon having his head shaved off to the delight of the 80,000-plus fans inside Ford Field.

Trump also got physical with McMahon when he took his rival down outside of the ring and all to receive a cool $4 million for his charity.

Tyson Fury - $15 million

The WBC heavyweight champion is now heading for a all-British title fight with Dillian Whyte, but prior to capturing his heavyweight gold from Deontay Wilder, he fought in a WWE ring.

Fury battled the six-foot-eight, 300lb goliath Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia and he won, too!

The pair went eight minutes back in October 2019 before Fury won via knockout and raked in £11.9 million ($15m) for his outing.

The Gypsy King had shown up on WWE's SmackDown debut on FOX a little earlier that year and he would make another appearance, this time befriending Strowman, when WWE came to Manchester in November.

Fury was active on social media as well and he got into several spats with then-WWE champion Drew McIntyre. Fury admitted he was meant to appear at WrestleMania 36 in 2020 but the pandemic scuppered those plans.

“I was supposed to be at WrestleMania 36, but obviously with the coronavirus I couldn’t be there," Fury told talkSPORT.
