3 Major twists WWE could implement after WrestleMania 35

As a chance to refresh the product and overall creative direction of the company, WWE often rolls out major changes the night after the biggest show of the year. With some seemingly predictable results on the horizon for the currently slotted match-ups at WrestleMania 35, the night after the showcase of the immortals (or weeks soon following) provides ample opportunity to shock viewers and keep them tuning in for what's to come in the 2019 WWE landscape. The reliably boisterous post-Mania crowd (New York and New Jersey audiences always deliver) is the ideal scenario for any of the following game-changing scenarios to take shape.

#1 Roman Reigns Turns Heel and Reclaims the WWE Universal Championship

While it's expected Seth Rollins will defeat the beast Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania (current WWE Universal Champion), it's highly likely Rollins will issue an open title challenge the following night on RAW. Rollins has already boasted that he will be a full-time, fighting champion (unlike the famously mercenary part-time champion Lesnar) and consistently represent the prestigious title on weekly television. We saw Rollins do the very same thing during his recent stint as Intercontinental Champion (delivering a fantastic match on RAW with Kevin Owens).

Reigns will be Rollins' first surprise challenger, and WWE will use this as the opportunity for Reigns to turn heel (an alignment which he has yet to assume since the Shield split in 2014) and reclaim the title he never rightfully lost (last acquired by vanquishing Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2018). In the wake of Roman's leukaemia treatment and subsequent remission, even the most jaded of viewers won't see this coming- making his betrayal of his former Shield-brother and title win all the more impactful.

#2 Vince McMahon hands over control of the company to Triple H

In order to fully focus on the newly revitalized XFL brand (set to officially take off in 2020 under the umbrella of McMahon's newly established company Alpha Entertainment), Vince McMahon will step down and hand over the 'keys to the kingdom' to heir apparent, Triple H. For many years now, Vince's son-in-law has appeared to be the most logical choice to continue his legacy. This could lead to a dramatic, overarching feud against Vince's only son Shane McMahon -- as the two could battle for control over the company- running through SummerSlam 2019, or even next year's WrestleMania.

Triple H has been groomed to fill Vince's shoes for many years, taking the top leadership and production position of WWE's highly acclaimed developmental territory NXT (strong enough since it's explosion in 2014 to be classified as third brand-- often surpassing the quality seen on Monday Night RAW and Smackdown Live).

#3 Ronda Rousey Stays with WWE and Remains in the Title Picture

Ronda Rousey as RAW Women's Champion - a dominant run which began when she defeated Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam 2018

While it's been speculated that Ronda Rousey will be departing from WWE after WrestleMania 35 (likely dropping the title to rising star Becky Lynch), there is still a great deal of creative possibilities and potential money matchups on the table for the former MMA star.

WWE haven't gotten the full mileage out of Rousey's character and continually impressive in-ring performances. Rousey has been a main event, dominant babyface in the RAW women's division for almost an entire calendar year (debuting at WrestleMania 34 while tagging with Kurt Angle against Triple H and wife Stephanie McMahon). More time with the company would allow her the opportunity to fully explore her newly established, rouge heel persona and elevate other talent in the process (on either RAW or Smackdown Live).
