#4. Steve Austin could make his return to WWE as a manager of a NXT Superstar
One thing that WWE is lacking at present is decent managers. The likes of MVP and Paul Heyman are the only real managers on the main roster at present, which needs to change if the company wants to start creating meaningful stories.
Stone Cold Steve Austin was always head and shoulders above most competition on the mic and could be part of some interesting stories if he is given the chance to manage an up-and-coming star.
There are a number of superstars in NXT at present who could use his guidance on the mic and they could then target anyone on the main roster for a feud.
As noted further down this list, the most obvious person to go after would be Kevin Owens since he stole Austin's finishing move and this could be seen as disrespectful in WWE, even though he did ask permission.
Austin as a manager could be a good ratings boost for WWE heading into 2022 if they are able to find him the right partner.
