He could go back in time and meet his younger self, or not and simply change events around. Then he returns to the future, either the worlds throne is waiting for him or a new Eggman who had no nede to time travel to begin with is sitting on it.

It's either an alternate modern Eggman or Classic Eggman from Sonic Mania that will be in the upcoming game.
