Austin will be at the HOF and WM XXX he confirmed.

WWE reportedly has some ideas for him we'll see if Austin accepted one of them and appear or he will just be in the back/stands

As GOAT as Austin always is I never enjoy fans remembering that WHAT? was a thing when he returns. That always takes a while to go away again.

He'll probably just stun BNB, but I wouldn't mind seeing Austin interact with D-Bry and HHH.

Am I the only one thinking that Austin being at Wm drastically increases the chance punk will be there?

Probably. They reached out to a bunch of people including The Rock. They need all the star power they can for this for the Network imo.

Also I'm seriously hoping the ME is a great match for 20 minutes, then just devolves in to a ridiculous overbooked mess with punk, austin, hhh, bryan, hogan all running in

hhh returning to interfere and knockout bryan

only for punk to run out and stop hhh and gts him

only for austin to run out, have an epic staredown with both, then stunner both of them

that would be fun

Could imagine something like HHH beating Bryan dirty, then Hogan tries to put Bryan in the fatal four-way, Hunter says he's in charge and it's not happening. A screaming Vince appears on the titantron being backed into a corner backstage by Austin on an ATV with vince yelling for HHH to put Bryan in the damn match!

Or maybe they'll overbook it and have Austin as the special guest referee

Game going over, then ending Wrestlemania with a Rock interruption to set up a year long feud between HHH/Rock for the title at WM 31 would be incredible.

I frequently want to slap you.

Bryan/Batista seems like the most likely feud coming out of WM. I would expect either Bryan or Batista to pin Orton that way the other one can say they never lost the match.

I mean WrestleMania has ended on a happy note for Team Babyface 26 out of 29 times. That's obviously far above simple variance and speaks to their philosophy on how they like to book this show.

If they had a long-term booking reason to put Bootista over then that's one thing, but I really can't think that's the case given that they wanted him to get over as a babyface leading up to this and have now frantically just tried to book themselves out of it.

I don't really fear him leaving Mania as champ.

House shows are showing Orton vs Bryan main eventing after WM. Pretty good indicator of where things are going.

If Batista was going to leave champion, putting either HHH or Bryan in the match makes no sense to me at all

They added the Bryan/HHH stipulation because no one cared about Orton vs. Batista.

I'm pretty excited about the Austin appearance. He has said he wouldn't go unless he has something substantial to do and WWE pitched him a bunch of ideas. I think he'd probably pick a good one.

Orton is having his entrance theme played live. Made me think of how awesome it would be if they got a full symphony orchestra to play Flight of the Valkyries when Bryan comes out.

I can't see anything on the card that would at all benefit from Austin showing up (but I really have no tolerance for Austin). Same with Hogan. Both are too hurt to take a bump, so it's not like they can do much but put themselves over and get the crowd to pop for them instead of the guys actually working.

Seen as though HOF is on WWE Network this year and I assume a few people here will be watching, do we just post here about it or should it be in its own thread or some other existing thread
