With becky now becoming the top heel on raw taking liv's place, and the addition to roxanne and guilia who are 2 heels to raw, I think liv would be a perfect tweener right now! She'll still do her heel work but she gets cheered for it!

  @Draysin Martin Ooh, nice question. Thanks!
  
  Rusev was near the top, but he came back...
  X-Pac is open to a rumble appearance, and he can do everything he used to.
  Daniel Bryan would blow the roof off.
  Big E returning for one or two more runs will make me very happy.
  Rob Van Dam isn't opposed. And I love watching him.
  My #1 would be Big Show for a final run with the company.

  @Draysin Martin I'd also like Ziggler, Goldberg, Ryback, Hornswoggle and Zack Ryder back.
  
  Despite how mid it was, I grew up with the PG era, and find a strange comfort in it.
