WWE has booked some of the greatest matches for the show and it is claimed to be the greatest WrestleMania of all time. As the whole world is having their eyes on WrestleMania 40, here we go beyond and look beyond it. Here are the seven surprises WWE could book for Raw after WrestleMania 40.
Expected surprises at Raw after WrestleMania 40
7. Braun Strowman return
“The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman suffered a neck injury and is on a long hiatus from television to undergo neck fusion surgery and recovery. Strowman has got cleared from injury months ago, however hasn’t made a television return. Strowman has high chances of returning at Raw after WrestleMania 40 for a fresh start.
6. Seth Rollins challenging Cody Rhodes
At WrestleMania 40, if Cody Rhodes tends to win the Universal WWE Universal Championship & whether Seth Rollins has his World Heavyweight Championship or not, there are high chances of Seth Rollins challenging Cody Rhodes on Raw after WrestleMania. This could be a big task for Cody & Seth to wrestle three nights in a row, however could be a great start for Cody’s title reign.
5. Chad Gable defeating Intercontinental Champion
Chad Gable was one of the favorites to face Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40, however his dreams shattered as Sami Zayn defeated him. Whatever may be the result at the big WrestleMania show, Gable challenging and defeating the Intercontinental Champion to win the title at Raw could be huge. This could bring new challengers for the championship and could elevate Gable’s career.
4. Damian Priest Money in the Bank cash-in
If Damian Priest isn’t cashing-in at WrestleMania 40, Priest should definitely consider cashing-in at Raw after WrestleMania. Priest has only limited time left with the briefcase & the possibilities of him cashing it is high. If Seth & Cody are the champions, it will be easy for Priest as they would not be 100% to wrestle, after fighting two nights at Mania.
3. NXT main roster call up
Raw after WrestleMania 40 is all about the debuts and returns. Likewise a number of NXT stars could be called up for their main roster debut. We could expect a lot of men and women singles and tag team wrestlers from NXT. Some important NXT stars to note are Lyra Valkyria, Roxanne Perez, Ilja Deagunov, Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams and more.
2. New Bloodline members debut
We know how big the Anoa’i family is, and there are so many members in the wrestling industry. They might make their WWE debut on Raw. We could expect someone like Zila Fatu, Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga to step into WWE for the very first time.
1. Cody Rhodes retires Universal Championship
If Cody Rhodes tends to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, the American Nightmare could potentially be retiring the Universal Championship and introduce the brand new WWE Championship. Cody at WWE World has also spoken about changing the looks of the title belt. There is a high chance of a new WWE Championship belt at Raw after Mania.
