It was first reported by Brad Shepard that McMahon was considering an in-ring return at WrestleMania, but stated it was not official when he reported it earlier this week.
McMahon is 76-years old and last wrestled at WrestleMania 26 in March 2010 against Bret Hart in Glendale, Arizona.
In October 2012, he took part in a brawl with CM Punk, which was not recognized as an official match.
Over the years, he has gotten involved in physical angles including taking a headbutt from Kevin Owens during an episode of SmackDown in October 2017.
For McAfee, he wrestled twice in NXT including a singles match with Adam Cole in August 2020, which received a lot of praise. He also competed in the War Games match in December 2020 teaming with Danny Burch, Oney Lorcan & Pete Dunne against The Undisputed Era.
In April of 2021, McAfee was moved to the broadcast booth on Friday Night SmackDown alongside Michael Cole.
