5 predictions for WWE after WrestleMania 35

WWE is well on its way to WrestleMania, with just a few short weeks before the company invade New York and Metlife Stadium, but when it's all said and done, the company will have to work on a whole new year of programming before they head to Tampa in 2020.

With so much talent and a Superstar Shakeup planned for the weeks following 'Mania, this year could be one of the best in company history, and for once, the WWE Universe seem optimistic about it.

While there is plenty to talk about for the next year, today we are going to take a look at the WWE overall, and give 5 predictions for things we think will happen in the months following the WWE's biggest show of the year 2019.

#5 The Juggernaut moves up

Ever since coming to 205 Live by way of dropping considerable weight, Buddy Murphy has been absolutely dominating, and after running through each and every cruiserweight on the show, it's time for him to follow in Mustafa Ali's footsteps.

Murphy may not be the most charismatic performer in the WWE, but he's a great character and an incredible performer in the ring, and seeing him battle the likes of AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, Finn Balor and countless others is something we all want to see.

Murphy has had classics every single time in the ring for the past year, and he's earned his way on to RAW or Smackdown, and although he's probably not ready for the main event slot, he could be a valuable mid-card performer for the next year.

Buddy is blazing a trail for all Australian wrestlers around the world right now, and he's one of the best in the entire business, so this makes total sense, and if they can keep his momentum, 'Main event Murphy' will take over the entire WWE.

#4 WWE begin build to WWE Four Horsewomen vs. MMA Four Horsewomen

The WWE have got so few dream matches left between its current wrestlers, but one that they can book is the MMA Four Horsewomen (Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir, Jessamyn Duke and Ronda Rousey) against the WWE Four Horsewomen (Sasha Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch and Charlotte).

This one has been teased since way back at the first ever Mae Young Classic, and with the problems between Lynch, Charlotte and Rousey, if the WWE can keep Rousey around, this would be a huge match.

Shayna Baszler is ready to move up to the main roster, and the other two will likely follow, and if the WWE can tell a good story, this could main event either SummerSlam or Survivor Series. Obviously, a lot of this depends on Ronda Rousey following WrestleMania, but if the WWE can get the pieces together to make this happen, it's a money match just waiting to happen.

#3 Bray Wyatt returns to feud with Daniel Bryan

Bray Wyatt has been cleared for a few months now, but the WWE have struggled to find a creative way to reintroduce him, but whether they've got a way or not, he needs to return after WrestleMania.

The Eater of Worlds is one of the most talented performers in the wrestling business, and his promo work is arguably the best in the WWE, and if the WWE return him in the right way, he could finally be the main event star we've been waiting to see for years.

We've seen another curveball in the KofiMania story on the latest episode of Smackdown Live, so no one truly knows what's going to happen at WrestleMania, but the perfect rivalry to bring Wyatt back is the current WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan. Don't expect him to win the WWE Championship immediately, but if the WWE can push him in the right way, he could be a cornerstone of Smackdown Live for the next few years.

#2 Brock Lesnar walks away for good

Brock Lesnar has been holding the WWE and it's Universal Championship hostage for a number of years now, but after he drops the Championship to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, he'll finally walk away for good.

It's been teased for the last few years, especially given the rumours that Lesnar wants to give the UFC one more chance, and although there's still some great potential bouts out there, it's best for him to walk away now.

As mentioned, we've been swerved with this several times before, even twice in 2018 following Summerslam and WrestleMania, but if he truly wants to get back into the Octagon, it needs to happen now. Most WWE fans won't miss Lesnar too much, and that's fair enough given his work ethic, but he truly deserves the fans respect on his way out the door, because he will likely be back for one final bout in a few years time.

#1 Roman Reigns long-awaited heel turn

The WWE Universe have been waiting for this one for the past few years, and after his return from his unfortunate health scare, it's the perfect time to finally pull the trigger. He seems to be on a crash course with Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania, but after that, the WWE would be silly not to give us a fresh angle with The Big Dog, and after our last entry on this list, he could replace Lesnar as the top heel on RAW.

Reigns has always been at his best when he has a little edge to him, and if he can finally let out his feelings on the WWE Universe, he'll cement his spot as one of the top guys for years to come.

Don't hold your breath on this one, but after returning to join his Shield brothers, this is the perfect time for him to turn on the WWE Universe, and we think WWE could possibly pull the trigger in 2019.
