5. Steve Austin vs. Anybody!

It's over two years now since Steve Austin worked Kevin Owens in the main event of WrestleMania 38's opening night. That 'No Holds Barred' effort was worth the wait for fans who had been bothering 'Stone Cold' since his last match in 2003, but it didn't lead to more part-time work in 2022 or 2023.

Will Austin ever lace up his boots again? That's his decision, but Triple H would love to have his old adversary involved in some capacity come 'Mania 41. He'd also leave it in Steve's hands to pick exactly who he worked with. The Rock? Nah, that ship has sailed and he's busy anyway? Roman Reigns? Busy.

It's more likely to be a surprise opponent like KO was.

A heel Sami Zayn would be a hoot, although he'll surely still be pounding the heartfelt babyface drum for another year or so. Sheamus is another option, and so are the likes of Dominik Mysterio and even AJ Styles. Over to you, 'Texas Rattlesnake'.
