Every time I read that I think the Lion must be the most likely to return! The 'his wounds long healed' part reinforces this. Its set up perfectly for a return imo, the 'waiting for a final battle' part makes me think the return of some of the Primarchs were intentionally left 'open' for either gw to continue the timeline and bring some back or leave it up to the reader/player, much like the 2 lost Primarchs were left open to let players design their own armies.

I would love them to write the Lion back in though, it would be great because it would most likely be written in way that none of us here thought of, and would be interesting to see what they would do with it.

From a story point of view, surely the current state of the galaxy has to be close to triggering his 'release clause'? The Imperium needs him. Also potentially one of the best to bring back as his intentions would not be clear, although he is obviously loyal. Where we could probably more accurately predict what Guilliman and Russ would do, who knows what the Lion would get up to.
