Rumors of a WWE return for Hulk Hogan are running wild, brother. Last week we reported that the WWE is getting much closer to bringing Hulk Hogan back into the fold after a two year hiatus. So much to the point that Irish sports book Paddy Power is now offering favorable odds on the Hulkster making an in ring appearance at Wrestlemania is Orlando this year.

According to the site, “Hogan has been away from the WWE since 2015, but the company has been making frequent references to Hulk and many are perceiving the mentions as the foreshadowing of a huge return.”

The Hulkster isn’t the only person not currently on a WWE roster who has odds to appear.

Get your money out, because here are five non-roster stars who have the best chance at showing up at Wrestlemania 33.

Kenny Omega 10/1

$100 bet will win you $1,000.

The hype over Omega has died down a little bit since his epic Wrestlekingdom match that many have called one of the all-time greats. However, Kenny’s contract with New Japan is allegedly ending this month. Triple H has publicly stated interest in the Bullet Club star, but he currently has the longest odds on this list to make a Mania appearance.

Rey Mysterio 8/1

$100 bet will win you $800.

Mysterio has been out of the company for some time, but the WWE is currently missing a big named Latino star. Kalisto fulfills the void left by Mysterio in the ring, but he has yet to capture the WWE Universe’s imagination in the same way Mysterio did. Last seen on Lucha Underground, Rey will likely find his way back home sooner or later.

Conor McGregor 5/1

$100 will win you $500.

We know Triple H is interested. Conor McGregor has heeled all over the WWE Universe for the past year. McGregor said he would fight Floyd Mayweather for 25 mil. How much would it take for him to get in a WWE ring?

Ronda Rousey 3/1

$100 bet will win you $300.

Dana White has flat out said he feels Rousey is done with the UFC. Triple H and Stephanie have never made any secret that they’d love to have Rousey in the WWE. Let’s make this happen!

The only thing that could put this on the backburner would be that Rousey’s bad ass image has suffered a little from back to back losses in the octagon. WWE may want to wait a little while longer to bring her in.

Oh, and she has to want to do it.

Hulk Hogan 1/3

$300 bet will win you $100.

Sometimes you have to spend money to make money. The rampant rumors of Hogan’s return has turned the odds all the way around on a Mania appearance for the WWE legend. Odds in wrestling are much different than in regular sporting events as there is someone (likely multiple someones) in the company who already know whether Hogan will be back or not and could have leaked the information to the outside world.

For comparison, heading into the Royal Rumble, Randy Orton was a 3/1 favorite and we saw how that went down.

We should note that these odds are just for these superstars to step inside a WWE ring, NOT to actually wrestle a match. So, whatcha gonna do brother when the Hulkster returns to Wrestlemania all over you?
