10 Potential WWE WrestleMania 31 Opponents For Stone Cold Steve Austin

10. Seth Rollins

As Mr. Money in the Bank -- not to mention the crowd jewel of The Authority -- Seth Rollins is one of the fastest-rising stars in all of WWE. It's possible that by WrestleMania XXXI, his stock could have soared even higher -- conceivably, he could have successfully cashed in his briefcase and become WWE World Heavyweight Champion. With the belt or without it, though, Rollins would be a great opponent for Austin. Each former member of the Shield has proven himself as a world-class talent and a future WWE Champion, but it's Rollins who's broken out as a singles heel -- and not just any kind of heel... a corporate sellout. With Austin as the ultimate rebel, it makes sense that he'd dust off the boots one last time to open a can of whoop ass on the modern era's chosen one, the handpicked champion. Uh-uh, as Austin would say. That ain't gonna cut it. The match itself would see Rollins bumping his backside off for the Hall of Famer, but managing to get the advantage with underhanded tactics and pressing it with scintillating offense. Austin would make his comeback, though, and he and Rollins would go tooth and nail for the right to be called the winner. Whoever comes out on top, though, expect a Stunner to send "The Architect" flying into the lower atmosphere.
