The month of March had its fair share of highs and lows. While WWE continued hyping and building up to WrestleMania 35 throughout the month, it did give us some amazing and special moments (The Shield reunion, for instance).
On top of that, the huge success of Fastlane, plus, WWE giving fans what they crave for by pushing the fan favorites in the title scene, meant that WWE ended the month on a high.
However, as we dive deep into one of the most important months of the year, WWE would be hoping to continue with the same good work. Given this month of April features the biggest pay-per-view of the year in the form of WrestleMania, thus, it is not only one of the highly anticipated months of the year but it is also one of the most important months for WWE. And with the Show of Shows being just 2 days away, the WrestleMania fever is running wild more than ever on the WWE fans.
On another note, with a few superstars rumored to leave/retire from WWE very soon, it would be interesting to see what does this month has in store for us. So, to feed all our curiosities, for the time being, we take a look at 4 predictions for WWE this month.
#4 Ronda Rousey takes a break from WWE
Ronda Rousey is rumored to take a break from WWE after WrestleMania 35 in order to start a family. And the recent turn of events plus, WWE portraying her in a negative role might just have confirmed the same.
On another note, Rousey is scheduled to clash with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in a winner takes all triple threat matchup for both Raw and SmackDown's Women Championship. However, with Becky Lynch speculated to win the whole thing, this could very well be the last outing of The Rowdy one before she takes her rumored break.
Except WWE to go on with a fake injury angle to explain her absence.
#3 Viewership takes a hit after the WrestleMania season
Given it is the WrestleMania season, WWE is enjoying a good phase when it comes to viewership. The recent go home episode of WWE's flagship show, Monday Night Raw saw a rise in viewership from the last week as it drew 2.63 million viewers. However, the viewership is still under 3 million which should be a major concern for Vince McMahon.
However, once this WrestleMania season gets over on April 7 expect the ratings to take a major dip. Well, this might not happen as quickly as on the very next night as Raw after WrestleMania is one of the highly anticipated nights of the year, however, as I said, once we dive deep into the month, expect ratings to take huge dips.
Thus, Vince McMahon and WWE Creative need to be on top of their game to avoid/counter such scenarios.
#2 WWE switches Intercontinental title to SmackDown Live and the US title to the Red brand
While the US Championship currently features on the blue brand, the Intercontinental Championship features on the red brand. However, both the titles are scheduled to be defended on April 7.
While Bobby Lashley, the current Intercontinental Champion is scheduled to defend his title against Finn Balor, Samoa Joe will defend his US title against Rey Mysterio(if he is cleared to compete). While Samoa Joe is expected to retain his title, Finn Balor is speculated to defeat The All Mighty to become the new Intercontinental Champion.
On another note, WWE has already announced a superstar shake-up which is scheduled to take place on April 15 and 16. And given the fact that the odds of Balor landing on the blue brand is more than ever, WWE might end up switching the titles between both the brands(as one brand can't feature both the titles). This would then automatically mean a potential switch of Joe to the red brand.
#1 Becky Lynch becomes the face of the company
The Man, Becky Lynch is scheduled to face Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in a winner takes all triple threat match for the Raw and SmackDown's Women Championship. And a win for the Women's Royal Rumble match winner is totally on the cards. To be honest, there is not any conundrum surrounding the main event of WrestleMania as Becky is almost certain to walk out as the new Undisputed Women's Raw and SmackDown Champion.
While she has been the face of the women's division for quite some time now, expect The Man to begin her reign as the face of the company after April 7. The mere fact that WWE has kept this match featuring her as the main event of the Show of Shows means a great deal. Thus, there could be some huge things in line for Becky Lynch and who knows, she might very well feature on the cover of WWE 2K20 video game, which is not any minimal feat.
