In honor of our "Road to WrestleMania 38," here's a list of 38 other celebrities that have appeared on WWE TV in the past:

1. Bad Bunny

2. Ronda Rousey

3. Stephen Amell

Peacock / WWE

Best known for Arrow, Amell hit the ring in 2015 at Summerslam. And this was all before his pro wrestling TV show Heels. He teamed with WWE star Neville (now known as Pac) and got the win over Stardust (Cody Rhodes) and King Barrett.

4. Shaquille O'Neal

5. Jon Stewart

7. Kim Kardashian

The reality show star served as a ring announcer. Kim K helped out on the mic like many other celebs at Mania in the past. WWE never fails to grab up celebrities that are popular at the time.

8. Arnold Schwarzenegger

WWE Hall-of-Famer Arnold Schwarzenegger is an O.G. when it comes to celebs making their way into sports entertainment. He has made multiple appearances and even backhanded Triple H.

10. Snooki

WWE / Peacock

Snooki fought at WrestleMania 27 in a tag match at the height of the Jersey Shore's popularity. She won alongside all-time women's great wrestler Trish Stratus and fan-favorite John Morrison.

11. Hugh Jackman

USA / WWE

12. Drew Carey

Dare I say: the greatest Royal Rumble entrant ever? The Whose Line Is It Anyway? star entered the 2001 Royal Rumble and threw himself off before the Big Red Machine Kane could.

13. Logan Paul

WWE / Peacock

14. Cyndi Lauper

WWE

As far as WrestleMania is concerned, Cyndi Lauper was involved a lot with WWE on the music side, but her biggest moment was being kicked on the ground by Roddy Piper to kickstart his nuclear heat with WWE fans. Don't worry, they made up years later on RAW.

16. Elvira

WWE / Peacock

The Mistress of Darkness herself made her presence felt at WrestleMania 2. She had a typical celeb spot by talking to Jesse "The Body" Ventura, but I would have preferred her Movie Macabre as a Mania segment.

17. Raven-Symoné

Much like Kim Kardashian, Raven served as a ring announcer and delivered the fantastic line: "I'm so excited, WOO!" I believe this was the peak popularity of the Cheetah Girls.

18. Michael Che & Colin Jost

WWE / Peacock

19. Muhammad Ali

20. Honorable Mention: David Arquette (WCW)

At the halfway point, it's important to note Scream star David Arquette won the WCW world title. Could you imagine if Johnny Knoxville ended up winning the WWE title? I'm sure the Internet Wrestling Community would adore that.

22. Lawrence Taylor

WWE / Peacock

23. Snoop Dogg

WWE / Peacock

24. Pee Wee Herman

WWE / Peacock

"I know you are, but what am I?"

Paul Reubens donned his Pee Wee persona on Monday Night Raw and had segments interacting with the Miz and eventually the Rock. 

25. Steve-O

29. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Joan Jett performed "Bad Reputation" for Ronda Rousey's champion entrance at WrestleMania 35. As expected, she rocked.

30. Gladys Knight

WrestleMania IV featured one of the great voices of all time Gladys Knight performing "America the Beautiful." Plenty of talented artists have lent their vocals for this Mania tradition.

31. Bebe Rexha

32. The Muppets

USA Network / WWE

Yes, I am counting The Muppets as celebrities. The whole gang was a part of a Raw "super show" back in 2012. You can imagine "cool" wrestling fans weren't very happy by the kid-friendly guest stars.

33. Regis Philbin

WWE / Peacock

34. Alex Trebek

Jeopardy host Alex Trebek joined Regis Philbin as a backstage interviewer for Mania IV. "What is: I'm going to pin you, brother!"
