Road Dogg would be a good shout, since they had him appear at the Slammy's night.
I also think logically there is a good chance of X-Pac and Rikishi turning up.

If you think about the HHH/Nash feud there were constant references to the 'clique' and X-Pac was name dropped many times.
Same for Rikishi, it has been made no secret that he is the father of Jey & Jimmy Uso, and it has been mentioned numerous times.

I also expect to see Goldust in there to enhance his ongoing rivalry with his brother Cody.

Regal will be in there, but I feel giving him the title would be a bad idea. To help increase the prestige of the championship, it needs to switch hands much less than it is doing currently, this could extend to almost every championship in the WWE.
He's sadly no longer relevant, and giving him the title wouldn't be good for business, I can't see many people tuning in to see Regal as champion, especially when you consider the WWE's demographic.

Not every guy is in the business to be a main eventer, and Regal has had a largely successful career as an undercarder, but I don't feel he is deserving of a World Heavyweight Championship reign. A GM position, or even an induction into the Hall of Fame: Yes. A Championship run: No.

I had never thought about a team of Kingston & Gabriel. It sounds like a rather good idea though. Neither man is really doing too much at the moment, and I don't feel Gabriel has enough character to establish himself as a solo competitor, so an 'African Untie' team would make sense.
It would also give the tag team division an international theme with the Puereto Rican tag champions, the Samoan Uso's, possibly Hunico and his bodyguard for a Mexican team and two guys such as Reks & Hawkins for an American tag team.

Honestly, Alex Riley is one of the people on the current roster I could not care less about, I fully expect him to get his release soon.
I don't see their motivation in ushering a guy like John Morrison out of the door and keeping generic FCW clones like Riley.

Ah, a Top 5. I'd wager that you were older than me, from your list. I was born in 1993, so mine will be a little more recent.

1. Mick Foley
2. Chris Jericho
3. Kurt Angle
4. Stone Cold Steve Austin
5. Eddie Guerrero.
