The most realistic option at this stage is The Rock.
Because his movie flopped he would appreciate the WrestleMania payday. Plus showing he can and will draw at the wrestling box office will reassure Hollywood he still has some relevance.
Second realistic option is either Steve Austin or John Cena.
We've seen Austin work somewhat year ago, there's nothing stopping him having a 2-3minute signature/finisher fest like Goldberg does. Cena can easily still go. Can sell a Roman match as 'redemption' for his Summerslam loss, a "passing of the torch" or a best of 3 going back to their No Mercy match.
Third option is Cody Rhodes. People say he's not presented as strong enough to beat Roman but as if HHH gives a shit. Also sends a message to AEW talent
>if I put the belt on and push the guy who buried my developmental program, imagine what I'll do for you
Fourth option CM Punk.
No idea if all this shit the past few months was a work or not, dunno if he's leaving AEW or no. Either way IF the rumours are true and WWE wants him, it's a good way for Triple H to send a message and put the belt on the guy who he was at odds with for years.
