Now that WrestleMania 35 has officially concluded, we can finally look forward to whatever WWE has planned next, as tonight's installment of Monday Night Raw will likely be extremely newsworthy.

Typically, the post-WrestleMania edition of Raw features a few NXT call ups. On top of that, don't be surprised if you see a few familiar faces return to television during tonight's show, with two potential names being former WWE Champions.

The Raw after WrestleMania usually has the hottest, and most enthusiastic crowd of the entire year, which WWE will undoubtedly take advantage of during tonight's show by bringing back a few big names who have either been injured, or have been kept off of television.

As for who will make their return to television during tonight's post-WrestleMania edition of Raw, well, there are three possibilities, and as previously mentioned, two of which are former WWE World Heavyweight Champions.


#3 - Bray Wyatt

Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt is reportedly set to return to television at some point in the near future, and on top of that, it's being reported that the company has made a few changes to his character.

It's been quite a while since we last saw Wyatt in action, so it'll be interesting to see where he's slotted upon his return. Prior to being taken off of television, the ex-Wyatt Family leader was completely taken out of the main event scene, as he was pretty much an afterthought during his tag team run with Matt Hardy.

Plenty of people have been hoping to see some type of major change to Wyatt's character, as many thought his persona was getting stale. It appears that WWE is aware of this, which is why they're planning on making a few changes to his character when he returns to television, and we could see exactly what those changes are during tonight's episode of Raw.

#2 - The Undertaker

While he didn't appear on the WrestleMania 35 card, it was reported that The Undertaker was in the New York area during the event at MetLife Stadium, which could mean that he's still in town for tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw.

WWE has another show in Saudi Arabia at the beginning of next month, which The Undertaker will be a part of. As of this writing, we don't know what "The Deadman's" role will be on the show, but one would assume that he's going to be in the ring with one of the company's top guys.

So while we don't know who The Undertaker will be in the ring with at next month's show in Saudi Arabia, we could find out during tonight's episode of Raw. Does that mean that the future WWE Hall of Famer will make an appearance tonight? Perhaps. But at the very least, we should get a better idea of who the legendary "Phenom" will face on May 3.

#1 - Sami Zayn

Back in December, WWE ran a promo which was teasing the return of Sami Zayn, who has been out of action due to injury. The promo didn't give a specific return date, as it only promised that the former NXT Champion would be returning "soon."

While WWE could wait another week to bring Zayn back, as that's when their annual Superstar Shakeup will take place, he could very well be brought back as a surprise during tonight's episode of Raw.

In fact, you shouldn't rule out the possibility of him returning as a heel, where he could end up being Roman Reigns' next opponent should WWE decide to not put "The Big Dog" back in the Universal Championship picture just yet.

Speaking of Raw's main title, Zayn could end up being Seth Rollins' first challenger if he does return during tonight's show, as the now former Champ Brock Lesnar will likely be going away for a while following his loss at WrestleMania 35.
