#3 Samoa Joe
Unlike with the previous two entries on this list, a Rey Mysterio vs. Samoa Joe match would be a complete clash of styles. However, as we've seen from recent events, Joe thrives in situations where he's working with a smaller, faster, high-flyer.
Also, Joe would be the perfect heel to confront Rey Mysterio when he returns, as he can probably get a ton of heat from attacking Mysterio on his first night back.
Do I think WWE will go right to Joe vs. Rey upon the latter's return? Probably not. As previously mentioned, I think they're bringing Rey in to work with Almas, but if that's not the case, I'd love to see him take on Samoa Joe upon his return.
