5 Unexpected Things that can happen by the end of 2019 in WWE

2019, so far, has been very interesting and one of the most happening years in the world of pro-wrestling. Starting from day 1 of the year, when All Elite Wrestling was announced, we as fans have seen so much in the seven months of this year so far.

Who would've thought last year that 12 months down the line, Dean Ambrose would quit WWE and go on to thrash the working culture of the company? Who would have thought Bray Wyatt would return with a new gimmick and become the biggest attraction on WWE programming? But so is this business - the only thing predictable about it is that it is unpredictable.

But there are still five more months to go in 2019, and I for once am sure a lot more unexpected things will happen in 2019 in WWE. In this article, let's take a look at five of them. Feel free to comment your thoughts and opinions.

#5 The Undertaker vs Sting

When we talk about dream matches that never happened, The Undertaker taking on Sting surely comes to mind. While the proper time for this match to happen was 10-15 years ago, fans would surely be thrilled to watch the dream encounter finally take place.

WWE themselves teased the same on their social media, and while it was put out as a precursor for WWE's new show, WWE Reimagined, in which a hypothetical situation of Undertaker possibly joining WCW in 1998 to face Sting was portrayed, there are chances that they might give this match to us for real.

We've already seen many legends return to the ring for the Saudi Arabia PPVs, the recent one being Goldberg, and Sting might be the next one to do so. He has clearly stated that the only reason he'll come out of retirement would be to face The Undertaker.

Keeping aside the match quality, I still believe that these two have what it takes to tell a proper story through their feud and make a memorable rivalry. The Saudi PPVs have given us many dream matches, and this one could be the next in line for the PPV in the Middle East later this year.

#4 Finn Balor turning heel and joining the OC

The former Intercontinental Champion, Finn Balor, has been a babyface for the entirety of his WWE career. So much so that fans have almost forgotten the guy who wreaked havoc alongside a certain "Club" that he formed in New Japan.

With the reports of him taking a break of two months after SummerSlam, it would be a perfect time for Balor to turn heel and make a massive return. AJ Styles turning heel and forming the OC has been a great decision from WWE, and they could one-up this by letting Balor join it as well.

A faction containing AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Karl Anderson, and Gallows has success written all over it, and the WWE writers should not let go of this golden opportunity. The storyline could go as far as them being out of control and destroying everyone on both the rosters, only for a certain faction to step up and fight with them to find out the undisputed (wink wink) top faction.

#3 Paul Heyman turns on his client

After the announcement of Paul Heyman becoming the Executive director of Monday Night RAW, one of the first questions in the mind of the fans was whether the advocate would continue his on-screen alliance with the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.

So far, that has happened as Heyman has been by the side of the Universal Champion even after being assigned such a huge backstage role. How long before this turns into a storyline where Heyman realizes the reason for the low ratings of his show is none other than his client who has kept the Universal title hostage.

This could make for a great storyline that would blur the lines between reality and kayfabe, something which WWE has been focusing a lot lately. Heyman turning on Lesnar would not only be the end of one of the most iconic wrestler-manager duo but might also lead to a new Paul Heyman guy.

Remember the time when Heyman turned on CM Punk? What an awesome storyline that was!

#2 Roman Reigns turns heel

If there is one superstar, other than John Cena, who might never turn heel again, it has to be Roman Reigns. The Big Dog debuted as a heel with The Shield, but ever since his singles run started, he has been pushed down our throats as a superman babyface.

While fans haven't been very harsh on him lately, mainly due to him recently overcoming Leukemia in real life, one has to wonder how long before they boo him out of every arena again?

WWE has been smart in not booking him against any top babyface ever since his return, but that is bound to happen sooner rather than later. But instead of giving him the superman booking, WWE could take us all by storm by turning Reigns heel.

We have seen a heel Seth Rollins vs face Reigns feud many times before, but what about a heel Reigns and face Rollins one? Not only him, turning Roman heel could open up so many new possibilities, and could lead to a compelling storyline. Make him a Paul Heyman guy maybe?

#1 NXT Invasion angle led by Triple H

This is something which fans have been rooting for since last many years. After the huge initial success of the Nexus, the whole angle ended very abruptly, but NXT is not a small brand anymore.

When Heyman and Bischoff were announced as the respective Executive Directors of RAW and SmackDown, there were questions as to why one of the positions was not given to Triple H. Well, can WWE answer this with a storyline of their own with Hunter invading the main roster alongside his NXT superstars?

Considering the desperate attempts that WWE has been making this year to please its fans, it's not a very stretched possibility to imagine them finally pulling off an NXT invasion. While one on one storylines and feuds can be great, a storyline that affects and includes the entire WWE landscape is what can get fans to stick to their TV screens.

Be it Seth Rollins vs Johnny Gargano, or the OC vs Undisputed Era, we could be in for some blockbuster dream matches if WWE decides to go down this path.
