5. John Cena

A match with Steve Austin might pique John Cena's curiosity. It could, in theory, be the kind of thing that makes him call up his agent to say, 'Hold those Hollywood gigs for now'. After all, 'Big Match John' rose to prominence just as Steve was on his way out of wrestling.

They've never locked horns.

Cena was 'Stone Cold's' successor as WWE's cash cow too. That means there's a quick story to tell, one that both guys would smash on the microphone during the bout's build. F*ck, just hearing Austin chew JC's kid-friendly image a new one would be worth the price of admission alone.

Last year's SummerSlam clash vs. Roman Reigns proved that Cena still has a taste for this stuff. There's no way he'd be disinterested in a series of promos and then a blowoff match with Austin in 2022. That's the kind of showdown worth returning one more time for.
