That's a good question, and makes for good theoretical discussion. While no one really "knows for sure," a lot of people probably have their own ideas or predictions for the year. I have a few.
To throw my two cents in about that... I don't know who the guy will be to face Austin, but I don't think it'll be Hulk Hogan. They had been there, done that, with The Rock, and The Rock was clearly > Hogan. So doing that for Austin wouldn't really mean much. I think it'll be the last person we'd expect, if it occurs. (No, I don't think Bret will ever come back.)
I liked WMXIX as Austin's last match. Because The Rock worked hard to put Steve over, and Austin was on his way out the door. Also because they made The Rock and Steve out to be 'equals.' This match was clean. It was thourough, it was rough, and there was no interferance. This was the match I was waiting to see Austin in. The Rock brutally kicking his ass was icing in the cake to me. But Austin did REALLY well at selling his, "I'm getting old," and "I am the Rattlesnake... but The Rock is just too much for me anymore."
HHH in a cage, I'm thinking it'll be Mick Foley or Shawn Michaels. I say this because Foley put HHH over in gimmick matches on his way out the door the first time.
