WrestleMania 35 is done and dusted as we witnessed the 35th edition of The Showcase of Immortals live from the Metlife Stadium last night. Least to say, WrestleMania 35 was one of the better WrestleManias in recent times.
A lot of fan-favourites came out on top and became a part of history by coming out victorious in their respective matches at the grandest stage of them all.
With the culmination of WrestleMania, WWE is all set to move ahead to the new beginning and start a new year in their programming. The RAW after WrestleMania is considered to be one of the best RAWs of the whole year. Major debuts, shocking returns, amazing segments and what not! Also, the crowd is usually red hot throughout the night, making it an amazing experience for everyone involved.
In this article, let's take a look at the 5 Shocking things that can happen on the RAW after WrestleMania that will have a huge impact on the WWE programming for the coming months.
#5 Brock Lesnar quits WWE
WrestleMania 35 opened with a match that many expected to be the semi-main event of the evening. The Beast Brock Lesnar came out saying if he is not main-eventing, then he does not want to wait anymore. Hence, The Universal Championship match opened the show.
What initially started as a rag-doll throwing game for Lesnar before the bell rang later turned into an under-three-minute squash by Seth Rollins who finally succeeded to slay the Beast. With this, the Universal Championship is back on RAW and we are sure that Rollins will do justice to the title and make it valuable.
But what about The Beast? He did face a pretty embarrassing loss at 'Mania last night, and surely won't be in a good mood. Will he show up at the RAW after 'Mania and address his future?
One major shocker that he and Paul Heyman can give us is The Beast saying goodbye to WWE and leaving for the Octagon. Heyman did mention in his promo before the match at 'Mania that Lesnar plans to spend his time in Las Vegas, indicating that a UFC stint for the Beast might be in the making.
#4 Bray Wyatt returns and takes out Bobby Lashley
The RAW after WrestleMania is known for memorable debuts and surprising returns. This year also, fans would be excited to see which superstars show up at RAW. The Eater of Worlds, Bray Wyatt has been long in the queue to make a return.
According to rumors, WWE is planning to do some major changes to Wyatt's character. It'd be interesting to see whether he returns as a face or a heel. He can have a number of feuds once he comes back, and one of them could be against Bobby Lashley. The Almighty lost his Intercontinental Championship to The Demon King at WrestleMania last night, hence a program with Wyatt is a possibility.
A win in a feud against Bobby Lashley would be a good start for Wyatt to reach to the top again. I do hope to see him compete for the Universal Championship sometime in the future.
#3 The Undisputed Era wins the RAW Tag Team Championship
The RAW after WrestleMania is known for some major NXT debuts as well. But this year, there already have been a lot of NXT call-ups and hence I have a slight feeling that we won't see many call-ups on RAW.
But one faction that can certainly debut and take Monday Night RAW by a storm would be The Undisputed Era. Led by Adam Cole (BayBay), the faction is one of the most entertaining things on the yellow brand.
Now as much as fans want to see these amazing superstars debut on RAW, they would also be praying that WWE does not treat them the way they treated Sanity last year. To avoid this, what if The Undisputed Era won the RAW Tag Team Titles on their first night?
There is no doubt that the Tag Team division needs to be uplifted, and someone like them could certainly help in achieving this. We witnessed Curt Hawkins finally ending his defeated streak at 'Mania last night by becoming the RAW Tag Champs with Zack Ryder. But how long will their reign last?
#2 The Undertaker returns
WrestleMania 35 was the first WrestleMania in almost two decades where The Undertaker didn't show up. The Dead Man has been a crucial part of the event's history, with an epic record of 24-2(W-L) and a once-undefeated streak of 21 straight wins.
Fans were eagerly waiting to hear the legendary gong, but unfortunately, that did not happen. With that being said, The Undertaker is actually in New York and was even present at the Metlife stadium last night, as visible in a photo posted by her wife, Michelle McCool.
With the reports of him working the Saudi PPV, The Undertaker can return to RAW tonight and start his feud for that show. The question is who will The Dead Man face? Will it be a legend or a new-comer?
Someone like Drew McIntyre or even Braun Strowman interrupting him would be very interesting.
#1 The UFC Four Horsewomen show up
Last night at WrestleMania, we witnessed the first ever Women's main event in the history of the PPV. It was Becky Lynch who came out victorious in the triple threat between her, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte in a "Winner Takes All" match for the RAW and SD Women's Championship.
Becky Lynch surely will have a celebration on RAW tomorrow. What if 4 unexpected guests show up and beat her down? Yes, I am talking about The 4 UFC Horsewomen, Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir.
We are sure to get the WWE 4 Horsewomen vs UFC 4 horsewomen feud sometime in the future, and this could be the start of that rivalry. With Becky handing Ronda her first pinfall defeat in WWE, she would be fuming to take revenge, and what better way than to interrupt her celebration and beat her down? It'd be interesting to see whether the other 3 WWE Horsewomen show up to save Becky or not.
