Now that WWE's biggest show of the year has concluded, we can finally look ahead to what's next, as we now have the post-WrestleMania 35 edition of Monday Night Raw to look forward to.

Sunday night's show at MetLife Stadium concluded with Becky Lynch pinning Ronda Rousey to win both the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships, which was the finish that most people were expecting.

However, there was some controversy surrounding the finish, as it appeared that Ronda Rousey got her shoulder off the mat prior to the referee counting three, which obviously means that they're heading towards a rematch at some point.

Also on the show, Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar to become the new Universal Champion, and Triple H kept his career alive by defeating his former protege Batista in a no holds barred match.

It's probably pretty safe to assume that all three matches will be followed up on during Monday's post-WrestleMania edition of Raw, which should end up being a memorable show.


#3 The Undertaker Appears

While the legendary Undertaker didn't appear at WrestleMania for the first time in nearly two decades, he is reportedly scheduled to be a part of WWE's next show in Saudi Arabia, which will take place at the beginning of next month.

As of this writing, we don't know who "The Deadman" will end up in the ring with, but we could find out during Monday's Raw show.

Prior to Sunday night's show, it was reported that the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion was in New York, which led many to believe that he was going to have a role at WWE's biggest show of the year. So, don't be surprised if you see The Undertaker make a surprise appearance during Monday's show, where he could announce who his opponent is at the company's next show in Saudi Arabia.

#2 Brock Lesnar quits WWE

In a shocking turn of events, the opening match for WrestleMania 35 was the Universal Championship match between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins, in which the latter ended up defeating "The Beast," thus ending the ex-UFC Heavyweight Champion's second reign with the red brand's main title.

It's been reported that Lesnar is eyeing a UFC return, which will happen this coming August, where he'll challenge Daniel Cormier for the company's Heavyweight Championship. On top of that, his advocate Paul Heyman teased that, after Mania 35, Lesnar will leave WWE and return to the Octagon.

So don't be surprised if Lesnar and/or Heyman appear during Monday's edition of Raw simply to announce that the now former WWE Universal Champion is quitting the company in favor of a UFC return. Of course, this doesn't mean that he'll be gone forever, but it could mean that he's not going to be around for the foreseeable future.

#1 Becky Lynch Defends Raw Title Against Ronda Rousey

As mentioned in the intro, there was some controversy surrounding the finish of the first ever women's main event in WrestleMania history, which probably suggests that Ronda Rousey will be granted a rematch.

One would expect this rematch to take place at WWE's next pay per view, however, there is a pretty good chance that Rousey will be done with the company following tomorrow night's show.

The post-WrestleMania edition of Raw is usually the most newsworthy show of the year, and it also has the hottest crowd of the year. So, it would only make sense to do the Rousey vs. Lynch rematch on the show, as it would probably end up being one of the hottest and best matches in the history of the red brand.

On top of that, it'll give WWE the opportunity to have Lynch defeat Rousey in a more decisive way, which could involve the new Women's Champion tapping out the now former Raw Women's Champ.
