2. Sgt. Slaughter

Mercifully, WWE's PG direction and the crucial pressure of various sponsors and partners probably preclude the company from reintroducing Sgt. Slaughter as an ISIS sympathiser. Then again, Jinder Mahal swapped his 'Ls' and his 'Rs' in order to "get heat" at the expense of Jinder Mahal in that freezing cold, racist summer of 2017 - so, conceivably, Slaugher may swap his allegiances from Saddam.

Moreover, since the three hour modern RAW format almost necessitates at least one over-long match, perhaps we'll see a retread of his 20 minute Boot Camp special. It can't be any worse than John Cena Vs. Elias, the worst Christmas present ever.

Less facetiously, a short background cameo in a short backstage skit is what likely awaits Slaughter.
