Dave Meltzer reported that Konnan will be doing the honors for Rey on the night before WrestleMania. Meltzer noted that this was at Rey's request and it was approved by the company.
Konnan was the most obvious choice because they have been close for decades, dating back to Rey and Konnan's early days in the wrestling business. This might be Konnan's first appearance at a major WWE event. Konnan wrestled briefly as Max Moon on non-televised matches in 1992 but those matches never aired and he left the company before the character debuted on TV with Paul Diamond playing the role.
