It could even be Triple H. He'll almost definitely be wrestling at WrestleMania XXX. Why would he not? His career isn't officially over yet, he loves wrestling and he's one of their biggest stars. My dream Mania card would have Sting coming to the WWE and facing Triple H -- Icon vs. Icon, sledgehammer vs. baseball bat -- with Ric Flair as Special Guest Referee. Hey, that window of opportunity is closing for Sting each year he chooses to sign with TNA, and they recently had him lose a match which stipulates he'll never be World Champion again, and they're trying to cut costs. Maybe that would be a good match for the World Heavyweight Title to be contested in, actually. Sting winning the big gold belt at WrestleMania XXX would be a pretty memorable event.
But yeah, if that doesn't happen, I'd be all for Triple H vs. Cody Rhodes. There's history there, but would you drudge it up? I'd book it more as the old guard standing defiantly against the youth movement. Is Cody's time now? Triple H could talk about how good Cody is, but he's not great yet. Triple H could talk about Rhodes essentially having a ticket to immortality in his hands, but he's going to waste it on an announced opportunity -- that tells him that he's not yet hungry enough. Triple H could even play defacto heel to try and get under Rhodes' skin. Maybe he could fire Dusty as NXT GM/Commission/whatever he is and re-hire Goldust for a match against whoever is the monster they are pushing at the time. Triple H could make the feud real personal, real fast.
