In recent weeks, we have seen a lot more of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, specifically on Monday Night RAW. McMahon appeared to be assisting Austin Theory with his development in a number of backstage segments.

The Chairman first appeared at the Survivor Series pay-per-view in November carrying Cleopatra's egg given to him by The Rock. This was done to coincide with the release of The Rock's latest film Red Notice.

By the end of the night, the egg was stolen and a search began to find the culprit. The thief was ultimately revealed as Austin Theory. Vince McMahon was surprisingly impressed by Theory for having the guts to steal his egg and proposed he watch WWE RAW with him.

In multiple backstage segments, we saw Vince giving Austin Theory tips and warnings for the young superstar to "expect the unexpected." McMahon ended up slapping Theory, and Theory has since been out to prove himself to the boss man.

Where the storyline is going remains to be seen, but it is great to see Vince McMahon back on screen. That begs the question of which other WWE Superstars he could work with, with WrestleMania approaching.

That being said, let's take a look at five potential WWE storylines for Vince McMahon with superstars other than Austin Theory.


#5. Vince McMahon could question Roman Reigns' legitimacy as Head of the Table and bring in The Rock

We saw the gift Vince McMahon received from The Rock at Survivor Series. The storyline from the pay-per-view shows that he and The Great One are still close.

Vince McMahon may doubt Reigns and not see him as the true Head of the Table. Of course, Reigns is having an incredible run as Universal Champion but there could be one challenge the Chairman may want to see.

Vince may say that Roman Reigns will only be the real Head of the Table if he beats his older bloodline relative, The Rock. As we know, it has been speculated for a while now that a Roman Reigns vs. The Rock WrestleMania match could happen.

Vince McMahon could ultimately be the one to get that ball rolling to make it happen. He could even remain involved right up until the blockbuster match itself, and witness the passing of the torch moment.

#4. Vince McMahon could challenge Cesaro to step up his game

In case you didn't know, Vince McMahon and Cesaro have quite the history in the WWE. The jist of it is, The Chairman doesn't believe in the Swiss superstar's ability to become a main event talent in WWE.

The first time we saw an insight into Vince's thinking on Cesaro was on the Stone Cold's Podcast in 2014. The WWE Network special saw McMahon say that Cesaro lacked something and he couldn't put his finger on it.

What if this was all brought onto television on SmackDown going forward? Vince could say that he always knew Cesaro wouldn't make it. This would kickstart a storyline between the pair and end up with Cesaro potentially winning his first world title.


#3. Vince McMahon could endorse Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens recently signed a new contract with WWE. The former Universal Champion has put pen to paper on a multi-year deal, no doubt much to the delight of Vince McMahon behind-the-scenes.

This could be something the company uses on television moving forward. Vince could applaud Kevin Owens' loyalty to WWE and provide him with major opportunities.

The storyline could surround the idea that if you remain loyal to the boss, you'll be rewarded. It would make for some interesting scenarios, especially with the amount of talent that has left the company this year alone.

Of course, Owens would be a heel in this instance, but it would make for some great television with Vince and KO aligning.

#2 Vince McMahon could bring up Bron Breakker from NXT

If Vince McMahon is high on Austin Theory right now, we can be certain that he is also high on Bron Breakker.. Rick Steiner's son is raising the bar on NXT 2.0 and is being tipped to be a huge star in the coming years.

Maybe not right now, but somewhere like the night after WrestleMania, McMahon could introduce Bron. McMahon could flat out say that he is a future world champion, much like he did with Drew McIntyre back in the day.

Vince could even guide him for a short time, until he feels he is ready to let Bron Breakker loose on his own.


#1. Vince McMahon could feud with Goldberg

It was recently reported that Goldberg has one match left on his current deal. His final storyline could end up being a huge feud with Vince McMahon.

After all, Goldberg is the last of the WCW era superstars currently on WWE television. Vince could say that if it wasn't for him, Goldberg would have been forgotten about when WCW folded. He could also rip on Goldberg and say he was nothing, unlike his Attitude Era roster.

The conclusion could be a match at WrestleMania. Goldberg could be fighting for a new contract or be banished from WWE for good. Maybe Shane McMahon could step up to face the former WCW World Champion in a Street Fight.

Vince could even call on some of the roster to step up and take on the challenge. Austin Theory could be the one to finally prove himself to the boss. There are many possibilities.
