There will be a lot of surprises on both the shows, as then it will push us to tune in at the show of shows. Now, those surprises could be good or bad but they will be exciting for the fans who are really happy for WrestleMania season.
So, here are ten unexpected things that could happen on the final Raw and SmackDown before WrestleMania 35…
#10 The Hardy Boyz win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships
Now, I know this title change wouldn’t make sense at all, but last week on SmackDown when Charlotte Flair became the new SmackDown Women’s Champion by defeating Asuka, that too didn’t make sense.
It seems WWE does strange things whenever it is heading towards the show of shows. But this title change could also make sense, as The Hardy Boyz have said that they wish to face The Usos in a dream match at WrestleMania 35.
So, Hardy Boyz winning SmackDown Tag Team Titles would be the first move to make this match official for WrestleMania. There could be a multi-tag team match on SmackDown where Hardy Boyz pick up the win and then Usos demand their rematch at WrestleMania.
#9 John Cena returns and challenges Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 35
John Cena has still not returned to WWE, after making a brief appearance in the month of January, and being announced for the men’s Royal Rumble match. Cena suffered an “injury” just one week before Royal Rumble that led him to miss the event.
Cena is set return for a match at the show of shows but his opponent has still not been decided. United States Champion Samoa Joe was first expected to face Cena but now he will be facing Rey Mysterio instead.
Another rumored opponent for Cena at WrestleMania is Kurt Angle in his farewell match. Angle will be facing Baron Corbin but just like week their were rumors WWE re-considering to change this match after the backlash it received. Corbin could be replaced by Cena to face Angle at the show of shows on this week’s Raw.
#8 Lars Sullivan debuts to announce himself in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Lars Sullivan has yet to debut on the main roster, he was one of the new faces arriving to the main roster in December. His first main roster feud was rumored to be against John Cena, but he actually never debuted because he was suffering from an anxiety attack.
Now he seems to have recovered from it, so Sullivan could possibly show up on Raw or SmackDown to announce his entry in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
The announcement could add intrigue to the least bothered match on the WrestleMania card.
#7 Dean Ambrose gets hospitalized after Drew McIntyre completely destroys him
Last week on Raw, Roman Reigns accepted Drew McIntyre’s WrestleMania challenge, later in the night McIntyre faced Reign’s Shield Brother Dean Ambrose in a Last Man Standing match which Ambrose lost after he was decimated in the entire contest.
This week on Raw, McIntyre could once again target Ambrose by completely destroying him and getting him hospitalized, this would make this rivalry more personal.
Already Ambrose is expected to leave WWE once his contract gets expired in April, so there is no use of him being at the show of shows.
#6 Randy Orton and AJ Styles get a stipulation for their WrestleMania clash
The rivalry between Randy Orton and AJ Styles has been quite interesting ever since their promo battle two weeks back on SmackDown. This is a dream clash that every fan wants to see at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Now to make this match more thrilling, WWE can add a stipulation to it, just like they have added stipulations to most of their non-title matches.
A possible stipulation for this match could be loser leaves the brand, as the main focus of this entire feud has been that who is the top star of SmackDown, so whoever loses will get traded to Raw.
#5 Seth Rollins Stomps The Beast
Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will return to Raw to confront Seth Rollins who he will face at the show of shows for the title. Lesnar has been absent most of the times during the build of this feud.
The Beast has also always gotten the upper hand every time they both faced-off, but this week on Raw, Rollins should get the upper hand by stomping Lesnar.
This would give a glimpse to the fans of what might happen at WrestleMania and also it would make Rollins look strong ahead of his title clash.
#4 Shane McMahon and The Miz brawl outside the arena
Last week on SmackDown, there was a stipulation added to the match between Shane McMahon and The Miz at the show of shows, it will be a Falls Count Anywhere match which means they could pin or submit their opponent outside the ring too.
Miz said that he will fight Shane all over New York at WrestleMania 35, we could get a glimpse of it on SmackDown, when Miz brawls Shane out of the arena.
This will excite the fans of what to expect from this rivalry which has been getting stale.
#3 Ric Flair announces himself as the special guest referee in the match between Batista and Triple H
If you don’t remember the rivalry between Batista and Triple H began after Batista attacked Flair backstage few weeks ago on Raw during his 70th Birthday Celebration.
So he will definitely factor into this contest at WrestleMania 35. Flair has a lot of history with Triple H and Batista as the trio were part of the famous group Evolution.
Flair could return to Raw and announce himself as the special guest referee in their No Holds Bared match at the show of shows.
#2 Luke Harper returns during the contract signing between Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston
Luke Harper has been competing in WWE live events from the past few weeks but he has yet to return on television. WWE has still not figured out what to do with him.
He can possibly join Daniel Bryan and Rowan to take down The New Day on SmackDown. We know The New Day member Kofi Kingston will face Bryan for WWE Title at WrestleMania Harper joining Bryan will even the odds at the show of shows.
Also it would be the best option for Harper who hasn’t returned for a long time.
#1 Major stipulation is added for the women’s main event match at WrestleMania 35
Last week on SmackDown, Charlotte Flair became the new SmackDown Women’s Champion by defeating Asuka, which has created a lot of buzz about the triple threat main event match at the show of shows.
There have been rumors a new stipulation will be added to this match regarding whoever gets pinned loses their title. This stipulation could be announced on this week’s Raw after their match against The Riott Squad.
It will be really surprised if WWE adds this stipulation for the show of shows as then it will add more excitement for the first ever women’s main event match.
