As 2023 draws to a close, the results that this year has brought to WWE are quite diverse. Roman Reigns holds his position, the pinnacle is still distant for Cody Rhodes, and the announcement of the WWE merger with UFC Endeavor has sparked much discussion among WWE fans. What awaits us in the future?
It's worth noting that the betting company Mostbet accepts bets on various martial arts and tournaments under the auspices of different organizations.
Let's consider ten possible scenarios for WWE events in 2024.
10. WWE and their desire to beat the All In record
In August 2023, All Elite Wrestling took a historic step, gathering 81,035 spectators at the Wembley Stadium. This number exceeded the previous record of 80,709 spectators at WrestleMania 32. Naturally, WWE will not leave this unanswered and will aim to set a new record in 2024. Especially if rumors about an international event in 2024 are true. Reports suggest it will be SummerSlam. If so, the record is undoubtedly at risk.
9. Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40
Rhea Ripley is steadily climbing the hierarchy of WWE female division superstars. After her victory at WrestleMania 39, her position only strengthened, especially after teaming up with Dominik Mysterio. The company has subtly hinted several times at a potential confrontation against Lynch. It seems that the main showdown between Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley awaits us at WrestleMania 40.
8. Another wave of staff reductions
The announced merger of WWE with Endeavor in 2023 led to many discussions. Rumors have started circulating about possible massive releases of WWE stars. Considering past reductions in 2020-2021, such a development seems quite probable. Frankly, the company's roster appears somewhat saturated.
7. Redesign of championship titles
There was a recent redesign of the women's championship titles. It's clear that the company seeks updates. If rumors about a new design for the men's tag team titles are true, then we should expect changes in the design of the Intercontinental and US Championships.
6. John Cena vs. Logan Paul: clash at WrestleMania 40?
Since Logan Paul's debut in WWE in 2021, his career has been gaining momentum. Despite some mixed reviews from fans, even his critics cannot deny his in-ring talent. Matches against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins showcased his skills. After Cena posted a photo of Paul on Instagram, rumors started about a possible match between them. Such a massive event deserves to be on the main show of the year.
5. Brock Lesnar vs. Gunther at WrestleMania 40
Brock Lesnar, known for his previous confrontations with Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, and Cody Rhodes, might face a new opponent. Gunther, who has already set a record among Intercontinental Championship holders, might be next in line for Lesnar. This match has all the chances to draw a huge audience. Moreover, Brock has lately been keen on helping develop the younger generation.
4. L.A. Knight wins the Royal Rumble
L.A. Knight is becoming increasingly popular in WWE. His matches are always met with applause. The feud with The Miz only solidified his position, and perhaps we will see him triumph in the 2024 Royal Rumble. If this happens, the crowd's reaction could be explosive.
3. The Usos brothers split and face-off in a major showdown
The Usos brothers have always been a symbol of unity in WWE since 2010. But over time, tensions have risen between the brothers, especially after aligning with Roman Reigns. This internal strife led to a rift between Jimmy and Jey Uso. Will they face off at WrestleMania 40? Or perhaps an extended storyline will be developed with multiple matches between them.
2. Batista, Paul Heyman, and Bray Wyatt to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
The wrestling community mourned when news of Bray Wyatt's tragic departure emerged. At only 36 years old, his passing touched many hearts. With his departure, fans have been vocal about WWE honoring his memory by inducting him into the 2024 Hall of Fame. Along with Wyatt, Batista, who has long been deemed deserving, might join this esteemed group. Paul Heyman might also find a spot on this list, and it's even possible that his longtime associate Brock Lesnar will introduce him at the ceremony.
1. Cody Rhodes ends Roman Reigns' domination
After Cody Rhodes emerged victorious in the 2023 Royal Rumble, he set his sights on defeating Roman Reigns for the championship title at WrestleMania 39. Fans anticipated that Cody would end Reigns' reign during this event, but Reigns stood tall once again. However, rumors suggest that WWE has big plans for Cody and he might conclude his redemption arc by dethroning Reigns at WrestleMania 40. Considering Reigns' impressive reign, it would be the perfect moment for Cody to ascend to the top of WWE.
