5 Ways WWE Could Use Mick Foley After the Royal Rumble

Posted: Jan 28th 2012 By: mikeiles

Mick Foley made his return to the WWE in November, and since then has managed to secure himself a spot in the Royal Rumble match. I think we're all aware that Mick is an outsider for the Rumble match, so what could the WWE have planned for him?

Foley Becomes RAW General Manager

Surely you saw this one coming? He was one of the suspects during the infamous flop of a storyline which was the anonymous RAW GM, but now could be a great time for WWE creative to let him step up into this role.

With John Laurinaitis' position "under review" on Monday night, RAW could be in need of a new person of authority. Assuming Triple H doesn't just reinstate himself, then Foley could be a great choice.

Personally, I'm not sure that it is the right time to take Johnny Ace off of WWE TV, as his character is starting to get a bit more interesting.

Foley Feuds with Cody Rhodes

While this may seem an odd potential feud to pick out, it makes perfect sense. During his "Undashing" gimmick, Rhodes was often compared to early part of Foley's Mankind gimmick, mainly the way in which he conducted himself during promos, backstage segments and interviews.

The fact is, Cody seems to be embarking on a "Legend Killer"-esque gimmick, following his feud with Booker T and his regular exchanges with Goldust. Working with Foley could add to this gimmick and the resulting promos would be highly entertaining.

Foley Feuds with Chris Jericho

If you've not read Undisputed by Chris Jericho, then I suggest you open up a new tab on your browser and order a copy. That five-second review aside, Jericho often mentions in his book how Foley never beat him in the ring; in fact, Jericho is 5-0 over Foley.

Maybe this isn't something which would be implemented immediately, but it is definitely something which could be considered down the line. Again, the promos would be second to none.

Foley Feuds with Dolph Ziggler

The other week on RAW, it was clear that something could be building between Foley and Ziggler. With rumours circulating that CM Punk is going to start a feud with either Triple H or Chris Jericho, Ziggler will be left without a rival.

Enter Foley. Zig and Mick are polar opposites in terms of look and wrestling style, however, they could, no doubt, put on a great show in the ring, and Foley could act as a high-profile stepping stone in Dolph's rise to being the biggest heel in the company.

Foley Faces the Undertaker at WrestleMania 28

While everyone is speculating that Triple H or Chris Jericho will face the Undertaker at WrestleMania 28, people are ignoring the fact that one of 'Taker's greatest opponents has also made his return.

Foley and 'Taker put on arguably one of the most famous matches in WWE history at King of the Ring, and a rematch between the two may not be too far off of the mark.

These are just a few of the options which the WWE could take, but what do you want WWE creative to do with Mick Foley? Get your opinions heard in the comments section.
