Sure. I’ll pitch you one: Maiev goes on a vendetta and starts taking out Horde settlements. Maybe takes out an orc trading post or something. Baine tracks her, confronts her, and beats her down before she uses her warden powers to make her escape.
Edit: before Maiev fans freak out: A) it’s just a hypothetical; B) I picked her because she is one of the few Alliance characters who would be likely to attack Horde civilians AND is tough enough to provide an impressive foe for Baine. No one would be impressed if he beat down Sky Captain Rogers.

I’ve never known, what class is Baine lorewise? I’d love for him to step up. I’d love for the Tauren to get more screentime. There’s not much, in my opinion, in game that goes into the world / lore of the Tauren outside of the OG quests.
Bit late, but I’ll bring this up as many times as I have too.
Looking back, it’s rather telling that this was written and voiced, but cut from the game.

I can see why it was cut.
In theory, he’d be a warrior modeled after the old Tauren Chieftain hero unit from WC3. In practice, I’m not sure how he’d really be any different from a standard tauren warrior. The hero unit abilities were War Stomp (which all tauren have), Shockwave (which is a warrior talent), and Endurance Aura (+attack speed and maybe movement speed?). The ultimate was Reincarnation, which makes the unit respawn instantly - obviously that didn’t make it into WoW (certainly not for Cairne…).
Make Baine devour his rivals. Fierce I tell ya.
