The month of June should be a momentous one for WWE and the whole of the WWE roster because things seem to be getting back on track with a live crowd. Sure, it's not a paying audience and the WWE Universe has been replaced by NXT recruits but their presence has made the show a lot more watchable.
And it also seems like RAW, SmackDown, and NXT are just going the extra mile to tell better stories to make up for the lack of the WWE Universe. Since the world is pretty much going to be the same through the month of June, expect WWE to just ramp it up when it comes to storylines and surprises.
So, with that said, I would like to present 5 surprises that could set your TV screens on fire in the month from June to enhance the WWE product.
#5 Xavier Woods returns to WWE from injury
A few months ago, on an episode of WWE's The Bump, Xavier Woods had this to say about his return:
Rehab is going great. I’m doing single-leg heel raises, so I’m getting there. I’ve got a few more months on me, but that’s mainly because I want to make sure that I’m not only good physically but also mentally.
From the looks of it, The Forgotten Sons are being given a very big push at the moment and chances are that WWE will pit them against The New Day going forward in all likelihood. And if this is the case, we all know that The Forgotten Sons have the numbers advantage and it won't bode well for The New Day.
Do you guys think that it will eventually be Xavier Woods who is revealed to be the SmackDown Hacker who has been responsible for some interesting WWE moments?
#4 Mandy Rose is caught on camera by the WWE hacker, talking to Strowman
Everyone in the WWE Universe seems to be digging the alliance of Otis and Mandy Rose and why would they not, especially if you consider that it was them that pushed for the two of them to get together all the way to WrestleMania 36. But this dream couple could face a roadblock or two in their WWE careers because the nature of WWE programming is steeped in conflict and without any drama, what is the point of watching the show?
And so, Otis could be shown footage of Mandy Rose talking to Braun Strowman backstage and this could indeed set him off in a fit of rage and disappointment, thanks to the WWE hacker. But eventually, it could turn out that this was all a ruse from Mandy Rose so that the Universal Champion could be distracted and the WWE Money in the Bank contract could be subsequently cashed in as well. SmackDown seems to be running on drama these days, and this could be a great way to give the current storyline some legs.
#3 Jinder Mahal takes down Drew McIntyre following his win over Lashley at WWE Backlash
Whenever you have a moment, be sure to catch this excellent interview that my colleague Alan John conducted with the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre. Also, be sure to follow Sportskeeda's YouTube channel for more exclusive WWE content of this nature which will be uploaded on a regular basis.
Believe it or not, there are many members of the WWE Universe who would like to see a dream clash between Jinder Mahal and the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre because both men belonged to the same faction once upon a time, were let go by WWE and both reinvented themselves and came back to become the WWE Champions again thereafter.
Soon after Drew McIntyre has defeated Lashley at Backlash, I have a feeling that he could be jumped by Jinder Mahal considering the fact that their clash is being built up in such a major manner by WWE India at the moment. Where there's smoke there's definitely fire, and this will be a fiery clash for sure.
#2 Lana finds a new client to manage in the WWE roster
From the looks of it, one of the most predominant WWE storylines going forward will be the clash between Lana and MVP. Both are managers who can be great mouthpieces and spokespersons for those in the WWE roster who are not necessarily the best promos. And yes, MVP has assembled quite the roster of talent thus far and it only stands to reason that Lana will go scouting for talent as well.
The most interesting name that Lana can manage and push all the way to the top is Akam from The AoP. We all know that he has the potential to be a powerhouse on his own, even without his partner, and with Lana acting as his mouthpiece, he would very well dominate the WWE roster.
For Akam to be working with someone like Bobby Lashley in a clash of the managers going forward would make things very interesting indeed because it also opens up the possibility of a feud with Seth Rollins and his faction (because of their shared history), while Rezar recovers from his current injury.
#1 The greatest wrestling match ever ends in 10 seconds (ultimate WWE surprise)
There is a lot that is being done to build up the idea of the upcoming clash between Edge and Randy Orton at WWE Backlash as the greatest wrestling match ever. In fact, WWE legends such as Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair, who have had some of the greatest wrestling matches ever are being brought in to weigh in on the contest and the fact of the matter is that whatever does happen at Backlash, if it's a regular wrestling match, then it's going to disappoint a lot of fans.
But the most likely outcome that I can actually think of is that WWE will have Randy Orton deliver a low blow or just roll Edge up and this will lead to a 3-count in merely 10 seconds. This will be the ultimate swerve from WWE from fans who will expect this contest to last an hour or more. This, to me, is the only way that WWE books themselves out of this pickle they're currently in.
