Almost 4 months are left in this year to end and in this 4 months, we are going to get about 15 episodes of Raw and Smackdown each and 5 pay-per-view events including the Super Show Down (Saudi Arabia's event has not yet been confirmed). So pretty much can still happen in this time period in WWE. It requires just one event to change the whole picture of the show as it happened with Summerslam. The dynamic of all the championships has been completely changed after the Summerslam. So imagine what could happen in these months.
Let's have a look at 5 things that will probably happen by the end of the year. I have picked things based on some reports or which I feel might happen based on the current situation.
#5.
Introduction of Women's Tag Team Title
WhatCulture reported in July that WWE is potentially planning to introduce a tag team championship for the women's division. Even though this rumor has not yet been confirmed, the idea actually makes sense considering the ongoing Women's Revolution, and this can be the next big step in this movement.
Besides, I think the women wrestlers need this now more than ever because there are only two titles in the whole of WWE, for them to fight for--just one title on each brand. This severe lack of another championship leaves behind many female performers, who may not currently be in the Raw/SmackDown Women's Championship picture.
Even at this moment, the creative team is focusing heavily on the women's title rivalry on each brand, leaving talented wrestlers like Sasha Banks, Bayley, Naomi, and Ember Moon out in the cold without any reasonable, rewarding feud.
With the introduction of the tag belts, the all-women stables would be able to fight together for something meaningful.
#4. Becky Lynch Winning the Championship
Right now, Becky is fans favorite. Basically, she is the Jeff Hardy of women's division. So, it is a no-brainer that the management would want to take advantage of the situation. She should have in the Summerslam, but since WWE wanted to start a feud between Charlotte and Becky, they let Charlotte win which is a start of a good narrative. But, Vince should make sure that they book this right to get the most out of this wrestler.
Becky should win at Hell in a Cell to justify her semi-heel turn. Going by the journey that Becky is on since summer this year defeating every wrestler in the roster, her winning the title will finally conclude this storyline.
#3. Dean Ambrose Turning on Shield
This rumor has been doing the rounds since before Ambrose even returned to Raw in August. Trusted sources like WhatCulture have reported that WWE had the plans of turning Dean against Shield in November last year before he got injured.
Now that he has come back, they will continue with their plan. They will probably do it at the end of the year to stretch it to Wrestlemania 35, where the same report suggests that we can see a potential triple threat match between all three members of Shield. His character after the return is screaming heel turn at the moment.
We all knew that at some point WWE will break the Shield again as all three members are better-off on their own as we have seen in the last couple of years. It will be interesting to see the kind of storyline that will be played in this whole situation and what the end result would be. So, I am looking forward to this one.
#2. Shinsuke Nakamura leaving WWE
Nakamura joined WWE in 2016 as part of the NXT roster. He made his main roster debut in April 2017. Since then, he has seen lots of ups and downs in his career. He has some highs like winning the Royal Rumble 2018, being in the WWE title picture many times and his heel run with the United States Championship till now.
There were even talks going around of pairing him with Paul Heyman. But, he also has some lows like getting defeated by Jinder Mahal on a couple of occasions, not able to win the WWE title despite many attempts and just being stuck as a mid-card champion.
In July, WhatCulture reported on their Youtube channel that his contract with the WWE is going to expire in January 2019 and he may be considering to move back to NJPW again. Nakamura came to WWE In hopes of finally joining the big leagues and competition for The WWE title, not to be a mid-card heel champion that is about to be outdone by a better heel in Randy Orton. Considering how much better Nakamura would do back in New Japan, it seems pretty obvious that he will leave when his contract is up.
#1. Miz Winning the WWE Title
Going by the Wrestling Observers Newsletters, Miz will soon become the WWE champion by the end of this year. It is not sure that when exactly is he going to get hold of the title or who he is going to defeat. WWE has already started building towards it as the winner of the match between Daniel Bryan and The Miz at Super Show Down will get a WWE championship opportunity at some time in the future. Miz can win that match (of course by unfair means) to earn the title shot.
But, he should get that opportunity after the Survivor Series, because many fans would want to see AJ Styles vs Roman Reigns in Champion vs Champion match. There are also reports that suggest that Daniel Bryan will win the Royal Rumble 2019 and so we can again see Bryan vs Miz and this time at Wrestlemania for WWE championship.
