5 Early rumors for the aftermath of WrestleMania 35

The build to WrestleMania 35 is happening in a great fashion. More or less this year's Mania is going to be a show to reminisce about for a long time. Though WrestleMania always garners a huge reaction from the crowd, this year WWE has utilized a perfect blend of quality storylines with just enough nostalgia.

The possibility of three babyfaces standing as the top champions of WWE at the end of the night is another huge positive for the show. The top show of the year is still more than two weeks away to unfold but the rumour mill has already started to abuzz with speculations regarding the aftermath of WrestleMania 35.

WWE will love to keep the momentum going after a seemingly good WrestleMania. Smackdown Live! will move to Fox in October which can bring some big changes to the blue brand of WWE.

So without any further adieu, let us dig deep to analyze all that is speculated to happen after WrestleMania 35.

#1 Drew McIntyre is going to challenge Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship

Drew McIntyre

Seth Rollins is all set to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Grandest Stage of Them All. WWE has put several other superstars against Lesnar but none of them was able to conquer the Beast. Except for Roman Reigns' brief run, Lesnar has kept the top title of raw brand hostage for almost two years now.

Seth Rollins looks like the perfect one to end the tyrannical run of Brock Lesnar. And if this past Monday Night Raw's match between McIntyre and Rollins is anything to go by then we are in for a treat post Mania.

There are several reports showing an advertisement promoting a match for the Extreme Rules PPV between Rollins and McIntyre after WrestleMania 35. In all likelihood, it would be for the Universal Championship. Plus, the way McIntyre has been booked for the most part of 2018 and in 2019 he is looking destined for greatness.

#2 No Evolution PPV in 2019

It was a great show

WWE Evolution was by far one of the best PPV of the WWE last year. It surpassed most of the male-dominated shows of the year. For many good reasons, it was a great start for the coming future. Seeing it's a massive success one would have coerced it to be a permanent part of WWE's PPV schedule each year.

Surprisingly, Evolution is nowhere to be seen in the PPV schedule for 2019 released by WWE. It gives a hint of WWE's intention of not going forward with an all-women show which is a shame. WWE currently holds the best women wrestlers of the world. Not giving them their own show can be a huge setback in WWE's profoundly talked about Women's revolution.

The schedule lists two exclusive shows to happen outside of the United States. Without much hardship, one can assume they will be in Saudi Arabia. Considering the quality of two Saudi Arabian shows of 2018 it is not a great sign. Still, there are some hopes left with the rumour on the next slide.

#3 Queen of the Ring tournament

'Queen' Charlotte Flair

The King of The Ring gimmick was a huge success since it's inception. The likes of Booker T, Jerry 'The King' Lawler, and many others used a victory in this prestigious tournament as a gimmick for a long time.

Recent versions of the king of The Ring tournament have not able to garner the same level of popularity. A big change being coerced by WWE Management is to organize a Queen of The Ring tournament in 2019.

In all likelihood, it will be a great idea seeing the plethora of talent in women's division of both brands. It can be a great addition to the long list of so many firsts in the Women's revolution. As discussed in the last slide WWE has not mentioned Evolution in PPV schedule of 2019 still there is a void in October month. A women-oriented PPV can be slotted at that part of the year.

#4 AJ Styles will move to Raw in the Superstar Shake-Up

The Club

AJ Styles has been the face of Smackdown Live since the initial brand split. Styles has done everything possible to be done on the blue brand. Considering this a move to Raw seems pretty much advent for former WWE Champion. It will provide WWE with a wide array of superstars to put against The Phenomenal One.

A feud for Tag Team Championship with an eye on becoming a Grand Slam Champion can be a great idea. Styles can have a blockbuster feud with everyone from Seth Rollins to Drew McIntyre. A feud with Finn Balor for the IC Championship if the latter wins it at the Mania from Bobby Lashley.

A feud between two former Bullet Club Leaders can be a possible future course of action. WWE may think about reinventing Gallows and Anderson by associating them to AJ Styles once again. The report stating a future match between Samoa Joe and AJ Styles has pretty much abrupted this plan but WWE Cards have always been subject to change.

#5 Lacey Evans getting a big push

Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans was one of the NXT call-ups announced last year on Raw. Since then, Evans has competed in only one match and that too in the women's Royal Rumble match. The only other thing beside that she has done is to randomly walk down the aisle and forth. She has not been engaged in any proper feud till now. There were rumours stating she is slated to face Asuka at WrestleMania.

Things do not seem to go in that direction with Asuka facing the winner of the fatal four-way match happening on SmackDown Live this week. Still, there are high chances for a huge push post Mania. With Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair now on the Raw, Lacey can establish herself as the top superstar of the blue brand in the coming days.

If WWE has big plans for the Lady of NXT then they must book her in a meaningful feud before pushing her in the title picture. A sudden push to the top can hurt her more than it can benefit her.
