10 Big WWE Returns That Could Happen In 2020

Less realistically, but more lucratively, WWE might just have a very particular opponent in mind should Punk wrap the tape back around his wrists.

At the back end of September, Stone Cold Steve Austin alerted observers both within and outwith the wrestling industry when, having upheld his retirement for the past 16 years, he casually let drop that he is "absolutely" physically fit for one last match. Though he made certain not to promise anything concrete, the Rattlesnake was unequivocal in stating that "in theory" he could go one more time.

What'll prove that theory is opportunity and opponent. Austin is savvy enough not to trade his reputation on a trip to Saudi Arabia - see also why The Rock has never flown to Riyadh, but the disgraced Hulk Hogan has welcomed the venture with open arms. A WrestleMania main event pitting returning a CM Punk against his hero on the other hand?

Now that might work.
