I'm feeling a bit tin foily so I'll throw out a random theory. I want to preface this by saying I don't expect any of this to happen, but it's always a possibility.
Ok, Here goes. So we know that this arc isn't anywhere near finished. From the start we thought this arc was going to be contained to just the Diabolos and Selene plot lines. Now with Ignia's arrival and the resurrection of Dogramag, as well as a larger plan that may be leading to a revival of more dragons, it seems this arc has a lot more in store even after the seemingly "final" fight against Dogramag. Now looking at the opponents that everyone in the labyrinth has faced so far, we can see some thematic clashes. Suzaku being the sword and Natsu being the armor, Wendy and Haku both being small, Laxus and Kirin both using lightning, Erza being scarlet and Misaki being Azure, and so on. Looking at it from that point, the best opponents for Gray and Gajeel would have been Skullion and Madmole, Skullion being the revenge match Gray never got, and Madmole being all about defense while Gajeel is also defense oriented with his iron body. However the moment those two were taken out in the beginning of the arc, I knew Gray and Gajeel were destined for greater things. But the problem of the thematic match still remains. Aside from Skullion, the only thematic match for Gray would be an Ice user, a fire user, or a demon. There is no ice user in this arc (as of yet), but there is a potential demon who is also a fire user. And as for Gajeel, he already has a history of matching base and LFD Natsu as well as fighting a dragon god.
Here's how I see it playing out. Suzaku and Natsu could continue their fight against Dogramag. Something could happen that could trigger Natsu's rage form like back against Mercphobia. He'll rampage attacking friend and foe alike. Selene will see this and teleport Suzaku away (the relationship between them seems to be building towards something like this). Gajeel Gray and Wendy will stumble upon the scene and Gray will realize it's the demon rampaging. Gray will be able to finally put his devil slaying magic to use and Gajeel will get his second fight against a dragon god, while Wendy will stay behind and continue healing Erza (hopefully). I don't think it'd be too inappropriate for the setting if Gajeel is the one to take on Dogramag as he wasn't even part of the original quest objective and there's so many more potential enemies and plotlines in this arc that Natsu's big moment to shine in the arc could definitely be there. And who knows, maybe this could be a chance for Gajeel to finally master dragon force. (Of course I won't consider Gray and Gajeel fighting these new potential enemies as they will likely be dragons. While Gajeel's still good there, Gray doesn't have dragon slaying magic.)
Now all that being said the most likely thing to happen would be them fighting a restored Skullion and Madmole, or worse..... do nothing.
