Michaels would be interesting. Wash away the sour taste of his last match. HBK vs Styles? vs Rollins?
I’m thinking RKBro win back the Raw Tag Team Titles and face Rollins & Owens. Maybe Gable vs. Angle? That would get me wet. But Angle could also slip into the spot I suggested for Batista — teaming with McIntyre against Corbin & Moss or something.

I just can’t get past the idea of Styles vs. Michaels. It’s just too good.

I get ya, but it is Austin. There’s something fitting about him coming back as the old gunslinger. I think it works better now than it would have when he was in his 40’s.

Lol, it’s weird to think that Austin retired when he was 38.

I’m also down with them bringing back WCW and sending most of their guys north of 40 there to prop it up and have Raw and SmackDown be for guys under 40, so they have to do something with them. WCW can cost on star power and experience. And they’d have a pretty awesome roster — Styles, Orton, Lashley, Balor, Rey, Shelton, Miz, Kofi, Brock, Cesaro, Sheamus, etc.

Steve Austin needs to face a brawler where they can do all the window dressing in the world. He has not done a return match for all this time, and Austin has been so protective of his character over the years...he's not going to put himself in a position to embarass himself.
Agree on both counts. That’s why I don’t really want to see Austin against a guy who orients their stuff around high spots, even if they are younger.
