WWE's core product has suffered in recent times owing to the lack of a live crowd and the unavailability of several top stars. But they have made the most of the situation, putting on commendable shows through the course of the month of April.
If the following surprises happen during the course of the month, WWE would certainly be on course to regaining the fans that they have lost. The world is slowly recovering and returning to normal once more, so let's cross our fingers and hope that things go back to normal as soon as possible.
Be sure to weigh in with your thoughts and comments and views in the comments section below and let me know which of the following surprises would make the WWE product even better.
#5 Aleister Black becomes the WWE Champion
We assumed that Drew McIntyre would be the WWE Champion forever and ever, did we not? But the fact of the matter is that there is more than one contender in the lineup who is ready to be the face of the company. King Corbin has been ready for the top spot for quite some time now and the same could also be said of someone like Aleister Black, who's been on a tear recently.
And yes, Black could totally cash in his contract shortly after winning it because a babyface like him does not seem like the sneaky kind who will wait for Drew McIntyre to be knocked down before he goes in for the ultimate kill. I can totally imagine him knocking Drew McIntyre out with a Black Mass and emerging as the brand new WWE Champion.
AJ Styles could also do the same if he returns to replace Apollo Crews after the brutality he suffered in the unforgettable Boneyard match.
#4 Paul Heyman brings back Lars Sullivan
Not long ago, reports began to emerge that Brock Lesnar would be out of action for a considerable period of time and this would also mean that Paul Heyman wouldn't be used, by extension. But because Paul Heyman is always a part of the WWE backstage staff, it would be criminal to not use such a colorful personality in the right manner.
What WWE can do to keep him on television is to have him unleash yet another monster into the roster in the form of Lars Sullivan. Imagine the kind of havoc that Sullivan can wreak on the roster as a heel possibly even going up against the likes of WWE Champion Drew McIntyre or someone like Aleister Black, a Superstar he has already tussled with back in his NXT days.
It's heartening to see that Sullivan wasn't one of the releases because I still think that he has a lot to offer WWE in the months to come. There's nobody that looks as intimidating as him in the WWE roster.
#3 Tucky betrays Otis
Otis is becoming the most pushed WWE Superstar in recent following and why wouldn't he, if you consider just how over he is with the WWE Universe!? Even though there's nobody in the crowd, you can feel the members of the audience sitting at home popping for his belly shaking and his entertaining moves.
Unfortunately, the rise of Otis also means that Tucky will feel left out because he's nowhere as popular as Otis is and one can even argue that he is the better worker among the duo. It could reach a situation where Tucky decides to turn on his partner and put an end to Heavy Machinery.
The WWE tag team division on SmackDown is pretty stacked as it is and Heavy Machinery technically does not even need to be a part of it. Otis can become a very prominent WWE figure and a top guy if the audience backs him all the way to the top.
Tucker Knight could become a great heel in due time as well.
#2 Becky Lynch's reign comes to an end at long last
Can you imagine just how long Becky Lynch has held the RAW Women's Championship? One could even go so far as to say that she is the face of WWE right now and not her significant other, Seth Rollins. But all good things must come to an end, and I can totally imagine Nia Jax cashing in her Money in the Bank contract on Becky Lynch later this month.
Anyone who has followed WWE for any length of time must have seen the footage of Becky Lynch getting her nose broken at the hands of Nia Jax and the iconic image of a crimson mask on her face that established her as 'The Man'. Well, it may just be time for WWE to remind us that they have an explosive rivalry on their hands in Becky Lynch vs. Nia Jax that could potentially stretch out through the course of the summer months. And for this to happen, Nia Jax could cash in her Money in the Bank contract, that she's a favorite to win.
Imagine the stunned silence of WWE fans sitting at home if Becky Lynch succumbs to Nia Jax.
#1 Samoa Joe comes to Drew McIntyre's aid
One of the things that can happen thanks to there being no live audience at WWE shows is that certain performers can be protected to an extent where they don't have to necessarily take bumps. So, while Samoa Joe may not be cleared to compete necessarily, he can still be a part of WWE storylines over the coming weeks.
Samoa Joe was a babyface not long ago and one has to say that he did a commendable job in the role. So, let's say that Drew McIntyre comes out on top against Seth Rollins and remains the WWE Champion, but Murphy decides to interfere in the post-match celebration and knock the Champion down.
Samoa Joe could leave the commentary position and even the odds for the Champion, letting the world know that he will not sit on the sidelines and let heels bully babyfaces. It would eventually lead to a situation where he could ask for his WWE Championship shot against Drew McIntyre.
Or it could also lead to a Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe feud, in the coming weeks.
