April was a new beginning for WWE as WrestleMania took the excitement to brand new heights and the Superstar Shake-Up commenced on both WWE brands. May will be the month when all eyes are on WWE because it's a 'make or break' month for the company.
We all know that things haven't been the best for the company, at least from a talent relations perspective. There is a lot of discontent backstage and the company has also received a lot of backlash for its booking. AEW's first event- Double Or Nothing will take place in May, which makes it a very critical month for the company.
In this article, I will suggest 5 surprises WWE can book in May not just to counter the threat of Double Or Nothing but just shake things up in May. These 5 simple surprises could certainly ensure that WWE emerges victorious in this new war between wrestling promotions.
So, here is the list of potential swerves we could see in May...
#5 The Club is reformed
Is it a surprise if you can see it coming from a mile away? I mean the only reason why Gallows and Anderson, The Club, has been drafted to RAW is so they can form a potential alliance with AJ Styles. We can all see this coming because it's certain to be a big part of WWE programming over the months that follow.
The only factor that can play spoilsport in this regard is that they will have no other trios to work against (actually turn the page and you may find out whom they can contest with). But it will certainly be a major step up for both Gallows and Anderson.
Will it also mean that AJ Styles will go heel soon? That may be the best course of action for him as well.
#4 The Firefly Fun House debuts
We're all loving the weekly vignettes that WWE has been showcasing to us but let's be serious for a minute. Unless the vignettes translate into an on-screen push for the highly talented Bray Wyatt, there may be no point at all to the skits. And therefore, I think that he should make his debut as early as next month with his brand new Wyatt Family.
If I had to book this group, I'd say that they should be an act on WWE RAW. SmackDown Live is only two hours long, and they do not want to be sidelined. I'd have Eric Young as Mercy The Buzzard, Nikki Cross as Abby The Witch and Killian Dain as Rambling Rabbit. We always knew that SAnitY seemed like a Wyatt Family lite faction.
They could feud with the likes of The Club. That would be quite interesting for fans to see!
#3 Sasha Banks becomes Miss Money in the Bank 2019
Now the whole situation with Sasha Banks is one that we don't have a lot of clarity about. But one of the rumors that has been doing the rounds is that she could potentially return at Money In The Bank and actually win the match.
And that could potentially be the case because with the departure of Ronda Rousey, there are only a handful of names in WWE to bolster the women's division. WWE would want to hang on to Sasha Banks and not have her leave in time for AEW Double Or Nothing.
In fact, if the WWE Universe sees the company doing right by her and actually rewarding her with the contract, their perspective towards WWE may change entirely. The fact that the company has overlooked talented individuals like Sasha Banks may be forgiven and in time, forgotten as well.
Would you guys like to see her win the match?
#2 Baron Corbin finally cashes in, becomes the new Universal Champion
I know that with AEW's Double or Nothing on the horizon, the last thing that WWE would want to do is book a widely hated champion. But I have a feeling that Baron Corbin is due for a big push, and I can actually see him becoming the Universal Champion very soon indeed. This would allow a babyface like Seth Rollins to chase The Lone Wolf for the prized title.
It could all begin with Corbin becoming the Money In The Bank winner at the pay-per-view. And then on the same night when Rollins defeats AJ Styles for the Universal Championship, he cashes in and becomes the Champion at last. If you remember, Baron Corbin failed to cash in the last time around, and now could potentially be his moment.
You don't retire Kurt Angle for no reason. I'm guessing WWE has big plans for Corbin.
#1 Shane McMahon becomes Bobby Lashley's new manager
One of the best things that happened to Bobby Lashley on RAW was his pairing with the 'Man of the Hour', a certain Lio Rush. But lately, rumors have been rife that Rush will no longer be on RAW owing to the fact that he has major backstage heat.
We saw a glimpse of Bobby Lashley on the microphone without Lio Rush and needless to say, with all due respect to the man, he needs a mouthpiece. Could Shane McMahon be the man who uses Lashley as muscle for all of his nefarious deeds?
I mean Shane McMahon can, after the current feud with The Miz is over, use Lashley against whoever he may be feuding with. In fact, I can even see a move to SmackDown Live for Lashley, to feud against Roman Reigns.
This will certainly be a major step up for Bobby Lashley.
