Perhaps the most enticing prospect of being a WWE fan is, absorbing the whole experience of the visual extravaganza, i.e. WrestleMania.
The whole event is a visual spectacle that celebrates the conclusion of long-term storylines and the significant journeys of the characters involved. The Raw after WrestleMania, however, acts as a commencement of a new journey.
Smoothie King Center in New Orleans will be hosting the Raw after WrestleMania this year and, if rumors are anything to go by, the show could be a path-breaker.
Here are the top ten predictions for Raw After WrestleMania
#10 A Superstar Shake-Up is announced
A gleeful segment featuring Kurt Angle could kick-off the highly anticipated episode in New Orleans on April 9th, 2018.
Currently involved in a mainstream feud with Ronda Rousey against Triple H and Stephanie Mcmahon, the Raw GM and, the Rowdy One are favorites to walk out as the winners at the Super Dome, ensuring Angle's managerial status.
An ideal option for his presence would be to kick-off Raw with a monumental announcement of a Superstar Shake-Up, to be held in the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
#9 NXT Superstars arrive
Triple H's visionary supervision has elevated NXT from a mere developmental territory to, a full-fledged brand.
Following the usual tradition, the Smoothie King Center could very well receive some shocking debuts from NXT.
Rumored names scheduled to be called up are, Andrade 'Cien' Almas, Johnny Gargano, Drew McIntyre, Ember Moon and, Authors of Pain. These shocking debuts could set the stage on fire in New Orleans.
#8 Bobby Lashley enters the frame
Capitalizing on the rumors of WWE possibly agreeing to a deal with Bobby Lashley, the company could be saving the former ECW Champion for the April 9th episode of Monday Night Raw.
Since his involvement at WrestleMania 34 would seem unlikely, unleashing him on the night after WrestleMania would be a perfect bet to restart his WWE career.
Despite being heavily linked to a feud with Brock Lesnar, the company would be looking to freshen things up with some different plans for Lashley, after Lesnar's contractual expiration.
#7 Sasha Banks turns heel
Sasha Banks vs Bayley rumored WrestleMania bout could be on the verge of cancellation, particularly after the latest rumors that have been surrounding the female superstars.
Therefore, the original plan of turning Banks heel could be set for the Raw after WrestleMania. Considering that both Sasha Banks and Bayley share so much history together, a shocking betrayal on Raw after WrestleMania could set the tone for things to come.
A heel turn could bring some freshness to the Women's division and could reignite a historical rivalry.
#6 Cesaro breaks out and follows his own path
Perhaps the most hard-working Superstar on the roster, Cesaro still finds himself out of the main event position, but 2018 could rejuvenate his personality for far more greater things. A more idealistic possibility to kick-off new beginnings would be to set different paths for both Cesaro and, Sheamus.
It won't come as a surprise if the Swiss Cyborg gets drafted to SmackDown Live in order to change his positioning within the WWE.
#5 Ronda Rousey teams up with Paul Heyman
Brock Lesnar's UFC aspirations could land him back to the Octagon, leaving Paul Heyman without a marketable client.
Therefore, a possible alliance between Heyman and the Rowdy One could resuscitate their positions in the company and, elevate the anticipation of the fans for the near future.
Ronda Rousey's promotion as a mainstream Superstar could elevate her credibility within the squared circle and who better than 'The Advocate' to company her.
WWE has big plans for the Rowdy One and judging by her advertisements for WrestleMania next year in New Jersey, the WWE Universe could be in for a treat.
#4 Seth Rollins gets drafted to SmackDown Live
Despite being one of the greatest technical wrestlers on the planet, Seth Rollins' lackluster creative booking has been a big blow to his credibility.
However, there could be some major changes within the WWE after WrestleMania 34 and one such could be Seth Rollins heading to the blue brand.
SmackDown Live has been poor this year and, bringing in Rollins could be the most bankable prospect for the blue brand.
#3 The Phenom retires with an emotionally driven speech
John Cena and the Undertaker's WrestleMania showdown could very well end up being a career-defining moment for the WWE.
Despite the disappointing performances of the Undertaker at WrestleMania, there is a definite possibility that he could be defeating John Cena, in what is considered to be his final outing.
The Phenom gravitates the attention of legions of his fans and, if rumors of his retirement are true, then we could be awaiting an emotional retirement speech in New Orleans.
#2 Samoa Joe crashes the party for Roman Reigns
Samoa Joe's terrific character impersonation has been significant in establishing him as the top guy on Monday Night's. Judging by the rumors that are floating around, Brock Lesnar's title defense at WrestleMania could very well end up being Roman Reigns' official coronation.
Considering Brock Lesnar's departure from the company and Braun Strowman's Tag-Team entanglement, Monday Night Raw definitely needs a monstrous heel to work a program with Reigns.
The Destroyer could be on the verge of a return and since his WrestleMania involvement was creatively blocked, the company will most likely bring him on Raw as a party destroyer for Roman Reigns' championship celebration.
#1 AJ Styles and Finn Balor join forces to form WWE's Bullet Club
Seth Rollins' eventual shift to Tuesday Nights could very well bring AJ Styles to Monday Night Raw. This opens up numerous opportunities for the WWE Champion, and the more idealistic one would be aligning him with the former Bullet Club Members.
The WWE Universe's dreams of seeing Finn Balor and AJ Styles join forces could be on the cusp of being fulfilled. Let the Good times roll in New Orleans!
