WrestleMania 35 is hardly more than a week from us and WWE will have one last stop on the Road to WrestleMania next week on the go-home shows of RAW and SmackDown.
This would be the last chance to create hype for WrestleMania and do some minor changes in the matches and storylines. But, if there's one thing we've understood in the last couple of weeks, this WrestleMania card is all about the changes and shockers. Anything can happen.
In this article, let's take a look at the 10 Shocking decisions that WWE can make on the go-home shows of WrestleMania 35 next week. How will they affect WrestleMania? Let us know in the comments section below.
#10. SmackDown: Add a stipulation to Randy Orton vs AJ Styles
AJ Styles and Randy Orton have built this feud amazingly well in the limited time that they have been given. Be it the promo involving the Indy wrestling mentions and "rents due b*tch", or the interferences and constantly being on each other's nose, it's been a solid narrative thus far.
While many fans are looking forward to this epic clash at 'Mania, adding an interesting stipulation would make it a must watch. What could that stipulation be? The winner gets a WWE title shot at the Saudi PPV, and the loser has to leave SmackDown. This would go well with the Draft that will happen after 'Mania.
#9. RAW: Drew McIntyre injures Dean Ambrose, writes him off
Drew McIntyre has been on a roll as he has been on destroying The Shield since the last month or so. In the last three episodes of RAW, he has main-evented against The Shield members and picked up wins against Seth Rollins once and Dean Ambrose twice, in singles matches.
With Ambrose set to leave WWE after WrestleMania, having McIntyre attack him and write him off would be a good way to send him off. It would also book Drew as a monster, and advance the storyline of his match against Roman Reigns.
#8. SmackDown: Samoa Joe attacks Dominic
We all know how much Samoa Joe likes to make things personal with his opponents. There's no such thing as emotions Joe's life; he just wants to win and that's what makes him a great heel. Just look at his rivalry with AJ Styles last year!
Joe is set to defend his US Championship against Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania, and last week we saw Mysterio with his son Dominic backstage who promised he'll be there at ringside for his dad's match. What if Joe attacks Dominic and puts him in the Coquina Clutch at SmackDown? Stakes will just get higher for Mysterio to take revenge!
#7. RAW: The Demon King shows up
The rivalry between Finn Balor and Bobby Lashley hasn't been that amazing to be honest. There's just something missing for the fans to care.
With Balor earning his right to face Lashley at WrestleMania for the Intercontinental Title, fans are wondering, what would happen next? Want to know one way of shocking everyone and getting their attention to this match? Let the Demon King appear on RAW and go face to face with Lashley.
We all know how much fans love the Demon King and Balor needs to unleash him for WrestleMania. I'm excited!
#6. SmackDown: John Cena returns to replace Baron Corbin at WrestleMania
Kurt Angle is all set to bid adieu to his in-ring career after having his last match at WrestleMania 35. But his last match is against Baron Corbin. Seriously? Damn!
With all due respect to Corbin, he doesn't deserve to be Angle's final opponent. It needs to be someone special. During Kurt's final match on SmackDown, Corbin could interrupt just to himself get interrupted by the Champ, John Cena. He can then take him out and announce himself as Kurt's final opponent.
KURT: "What do you have that makes you think you can be my final opponent?"
CENA: "Ruthless Aggression!"
#5. RAW: Triple H and Batista have a backstage brawl
Batista and Triple H are all set to have a No Holds Barred match at WrestleMania 35, with Triple H's career on the line. Now we all know how dangerous HHH can become once he takes off that corporate suit.
To add to that, this is just very personal for him and he can't wait to get his hands on Batista. A backstage confrontation leading to an all-out-brawl would get fans hyped up for the clash of these two icons at WrestleMania.
#4. SmackDown: Asuka demands to be added to the main event
In what was the most unexpected decision last week, Charlotte defeated the SmackDown Women's champion Asuka to win the title, just weeks before her main event clash at WrestleMania for the RAW Women's Championship.
This leaves Asuka without any proper match at WrestleMania, and she's advertised for the Battle Royal, which she certainly won't be happy with. But what if she comes out and demands to get added to the main event at WrestleMania? How would the fans react to this? Will she get cheered or booed?
#3. RAW: Ricochet and Aleister Black win the RAW Tag Team Titles
There's no hiding the fact that the Tag Team scenario on the main roster of WWE is a colossal mess. Despite having one of the greatest tag divisions in the world, it's a shame that WWE doesn't know how to use it's wrestlers properly.
WWE has announced that on RAW next week, the Revival will defend their RAW Tag Titles against the team of Ricochet and Aleister Black. Will WWE let these two NXT superstars win their first titles on the main roster just a week before WrestleMania?
#2. SmackDown: Vince becomes the guest referee for Bryan vs Kofi
Vince McMahon has taken upon himself to make sure Kofi's dream of becoming the WWE Champion doesn't get fulfilled easily. From the last month or so, he has constantly been against Kofi Kingston.
But even after stacking all the odds against him, Kofi managed to get his ticket to WrestleMania last week and will now be challenging Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship. Vince surely won't stay quiet and can shock everyone by announcing himself as the special guest referee for the match at WrestleMania to make sure Kofi doesn't win the match.
#1. RAW: Ronda Rousey ends the show by holding both titles
As mentioned in the last slide, Charlotte won the SmackDown Women's Championship last week and we are yet to get the confirmation of what changes that would cause in the WrestleMania event match.
One theory is that WWE would make this a Winner Takes All match. If this indeed is true, fans would want Becky Lynch to walk out of WrestleMania with both the titles.
But on RAW, we can get the opposite if Ronda Rousey beats down both her opponents and ends the show holding both RAW and SmackDown Women's championship in her hands.
What other shockers do you think WWE has up their sleeves? Do let us know in the comments section below!
