5 drastic changes WWE will go through before 2018

WWE will look to shift their on-going storylines to gear up for WrestleMania. After a small reset post-SummerSlam that has hardly made any difference in the main fixtures, one hopes to see some drastic changes by the end of this year. WWE has shown that it is capable of making drastic changes in its main storyline in the recent past.

Braun Strowman recently turned heel to form his own alliance with Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler. Becky Lynch turned heel to challenge her best friend Charlotte Flair for the Women's Championship. AJ Styles and Samoa Joe's feud has gotten really personal and Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton are going to clear their differences at Hell in a Cell once and for all.

There are various possibilities of what might follow this year. But looking at the current scenario, WWE looks confident of promising great content till WrestleMania. Let's take a look at 10 drastic changes WWE might go through before 2018.

#5 The Bar splits

Sheamus and Cesaro are both really talented wrestlers. While there seems to be no problem with their Tag Team division, it's high time both these superstars start competing in the single's competition again. This could happen sooner than expected. Rusev and Aiden English will take on The Bar in a match which will decide who will face the Tag Team Champions The New Day. It will be really disappointing if Rusev and Aiden English end up losing the match since Rusev has just shifted back to the Tag Team division.

The Bar, however, has hinted small differences between both the wrestlers in the past, but have managed to stick with each other as Tag Team for a couple of years now. If The Bar does split, it will provide the WWE viewers an opportunity to see Cesaro and Sheamus face-off against each other in what will be an amazing wrestling spectacle. Sheamus might start his old gimmick of being the Celtic warrior that he once was if The Bar splits.

#4 Aleister Black gets promoted to the Main Roster

Aleister Black should be promoted to Main Roster soon

Aleister Black has a certain mysticism around his character. I might not be wrong to acclaim him as the modern-day Undertaker. Aleister Black is a former NXT Champion. Currently out of action, Black was booked in a triple threat match against Johny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa at NXT TakeOver Brooklyn IV. He was pulled out from the main event due to a legitimate injury he suffered during a Live Event.

WWE Universe will be expecting Aleister Black in the main roster soon and he could well be making his debut in SmackDown or RAW in a couple of months.

#3 John Cena returns to SmackDown

John Cena on the Blue Brand

John Cena's much-anticipated return only seems evident if he returns on SmackDown rather than on RAW. The RAW roster is already filled with so many other wrestlers and Roman Reigns. I am not at all interested in Roman Reigns decimate another big return in the form of John Cena who has been missing from the ring since WrestleMania.

Cena on SmackDown will do the purpose of pitting him against other great prospects. And quite literally against NXT call-ups bound to happen.

#2 Bobby Lashley turns heel

Bobby Lashley should turn heel

Bobby Lashley's return has been anything but disappointing. WWE Universe expects more out of Lashley who used to be a dominant force during his time in WWE in the past. After being booked in really weak storylines, even performing the Shanti chant with Jinder Mahal, WWE will need to bring back Lashley as a heel to establish him as a dominant wrestler again.

#1 Jeff Hardy leaves WWE after Swanton Bomb

Jeff Hardy has been doing an amazing job despite health concerns and injuries. Hardy has always mentioned how he wants to do what he used to do back in the day. This involves a match at Hell in a Cell and a Swanton Bomb from the top of the cage. Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton's match might not have a specific choice as the winner. This is because the feud has been booked really well that as much as people are happy about Orton turning heel, a great amount of support has poured in for Jeff Hardy as well.

With health reasons only aggravating for the future Hall of Famer, Jeff Hardy might fulfil his long desire of a Swanton Bomb from the top of the cage and take some time off from WWE.
