Reigns and Lesnar were my first thoughts too. I was thinking that if they wanted to get Austin on both nights of Mania this year, he could be the special enforcer for the main event and make sure The Usos don’t screw Brock. That gives them a pathway to putting the belts on Brock and to put Austin’s name into Roman and Heyman’s mouths.
I figured Roman could win Money in the Bank, win his belt back by crashing whatever the main event is there (maybe Brock vs. Edge vs. AJ or something?) and he keeps cussing out Austin. Boom, SummerSlam.
By the time you get to WrestleMania, which is where I may do Austin vs. Brock, Heyman could be courting Lesnar again because “It’s the match we always talked about. It’s the match you cannot lose. You need me. And I need you to win this. You’ve beaten everybody. Everybody. But you get one shot at this, and we both know your ego can’t handle having that one guy you never beat.”
I get the thing with Brock’s style and why you wouldn’t be too tempted to put Austin with Brock, even if the idea is good. But I dunno — I think I do trust both men as workers. And the thing’s a blockbuster.
I’d love them to get a cheeky Austin/Goldberg in there too. And I can see him wanting to work with a guy like AJ Styles, but that will all depend on how many he’s got in him and how special you want it all to feel. But if they, say, got until WrestleMania 40 with Austin (his last Mania before turning 60). You could have Reigns at SummerSlam, maybe the UK PPV (this could be AJ?), Goldberg at Crown Jewel, maybe the Rumble and then Brock at Mania. Hmm, maybe call it there? Haha, or just do Austin vs. Owens at Mania 40 after that.
That’d be 7 matches. His magnificent seven. Including a Rumble where he gets to work with a whole bunch of people.
