It's just funny you'd have thought Austin's return to have been against a major opponent, someone that would've been equal to him as his prime, like a Roman or Brock. Neither of which really would be a great fit for Austin's return now at his age. So with Austin's age in mind Owens does really become a great choice. Specifically because he can take the bumps and also because he's such a strong character that the angles would more than likely hit like lighting. So this could be a good deal for everyone if it happens. I still have doubts.
Basically this. Austin returning itself is a big enough deal. He probably doesn’t want the spotlight of a main event his first match back, and Owens is probably hand-picked. There’s lots they can do with it. They show clips of Owens feuding with Shane and headbutting Vince to juxtapose with Austin’s anarchy. There can be a promo where Austin makes fun of Owens’ bull tattoo, and Owens can say he got it because he always backed The Rock.

It’s unlikely to reach the most epic levels of blood feud, but it can be raised to a bit beyond “just a match.”

I don’t think they’re putting the IC Title on Knoxville, lol. Sami has got the belt now to put some light on him as this really good wrestler. Knoxville will likely cost him the title and give Sami a reason to want to fight him.

The faces who make the most sense are Cesaro and Nakamura. That just comes down to what they want to do at Mania. I think whoever wins it is likely going to wrestle Sheamus or something. The other guy goes into a Tag Team Turmoil or something with either Rick Boogs or Ricochet as their partner.
