5. Vince McMahon

Ever since the brand split, the days that we see Vince McMahon are few and far in between. He likes to focus on his backstage role directing the shows, while appearing on camera sparingly to make some moments even more special.

Vince showed up after WrestleMania 33 to announce Kurt Angle as Raw’s General Manager and that there was a Superstar Shakeup, and he was just on Raw when Roman confronted him backstage about Brock Lesnar.

But, let’s not forget his most memorable moment in recent years when he got headbutted by Kevin Owens, which led to Kevin’s Hell in a Cell match with Shane McMahon. So, for Vince to take control of SmackDown Live for a week or two on the Road to WrestleMania would make a lot of sense.

Vince could make the Sami and Kevin vs. Daniel and Shane make so Shane can get his revenge on the duo. Vince could also reinstate Shane as Commissioner or appoint someone else to the position so he can comfortably get off of the TV screen after WrestleMania.

Mr. McMahon is an all time great authority figure, and even if it is just for one week or two, it would be pretty cool to see him back in that role again.
