#1. A big 'Four Horsewomen' angle could be in the works to end WrestleMania 35

Will this affect WrestleMania 35?

With Ronda Rousey struggling to find her footing as the white meat babyface on Monday Night Raw, her astonishing turn towards the bad side has brought more anticipation to the Raw Women's Championship match.

The Rowdy One's heelish antics would be far more suitable in advancing the narrative whilst keeping Becky Lynch in the spotlight as the ultimate underdog heading into WrestleMania 35.

While many have believed that Vince McMahon's anger with Ronda's latest tweets could have coerced the decision, but there could be more to the story than meets the eye, at the moment.

There's a genuine possibility that a shocking 'Four Horsewomen' angle could be in the works for WrestleMania 35, and would prove to be incredibly beneficial in setting the story for the entire 2019.

#2. Samoa Joe vs. John Cena could be in the works for WrestleMania 35

While it was long overdue, Samoa Joe has finally ascended to the top of the heap and defeated the likes of R-Truth, Andrade 'Cien' Almas, and Rey Mysterio to win the United States Championship.

In a shocking turn of events, The Destroyer could now be the favorite to walk in at WrestleMania 35 with the gold and with R-Truth continuing to mention John Cena every single week, there could be more to this story than meets the eye.

With Joe now working as a dominant champion, there's a genuine possibility that Vince McMahon could be planning Samoa Joe vs. John Cena for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 35.

The Cenation Leader has always advocated the idea of elevating the prestige of the gold and with Cena having such an interesting history with Joe, they could really tell a fine story in New Jersey.

#3. The Revival's insistence to bring more focus on the tag-team division has worked

Forever the Revival

Despite receiving huge backlash for not bringing any legitimate attention to the tag-team division on Monday Night Raw, the recent ascension of the division has struck the right chord with the WWE Universe.

Ricochet and Aleister Black's inclusion has been successful in elevating the stature of the division and with the company giving it the spotlight it deserves, this could really be a monumental year for tag-team wrestling.

There's no denying that The Revival deserves a lot of credit here. The Raw Tag-Team Champions' willingness to catapult the division to a different stratosphere coerced Vince McMahon to think otherwise and channel his inner genius, once again.

Both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live have seen a gradual yet effective change in their tag-team division and with the creative team continuing to give them the spotlight, the company's aim to excel in all departments is working.

With so many teams now looking to grab the brass ring under Vince's supervision, it definitely seems like The Revival's insistence to solidify the division has worked.

#4. Kevin Owens is a legitimate babyface

Is this experimental?

There's no denying that Kevin Owens possesses all the credentials in the world to become one of the most talented WWE superstars of all time.

However, despite portraying a conniving heel all his life, the former Universal Champion is now steadily transitioning into a babyface role on SmackDown Live.

Owens' startling collision with 'The New' Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship could be a way for Vince McMahon to gravitate more attention towards Owens' babyface transformation and his adulation for the WWE Universe.

Since the former NXT Champion claims to have a perspective now, he could really be in line for a riveting feud at WrestleMania 35 which could also invite the possibility for a heel Sami Zayn.

Regardless of what is currently transpiring on the blue brand, Owens' shocking transformation has struck the right chord and could really prove to be worthwhile for KO.

#5. Dean Ambrose could turn on Roman Reigns at Fastlane

Will he implode the band again?

With Roman Reigns willingness to have one last ride with The Shield, the dominant faction is now reunited on Monday Night Raw and are all set to slug it out with the forces of Drew Mcintyre, Bobby Lashley, and Baron Corbin.

Ad

While the decision for the reunification has divided the internet wrestling community, there's a genuine possibility that Vince McMahon might have something big planned for Fastlane.

Considering that both Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose don't have any confirmed opponents for WrestleMania 35, there's a chance that The Lunatic Fringe could embrace the dark side once again and turn his back on his brothers.

Despite the contractual situations that surround the former WWE Champion, Ambrose turning heel on Fastlane could definitely pave the way for an outstanding showdown between him and Roman Reigns at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
