10 WWE Predictions For The Raw After WrestleMania 31

When WrestleMania ends, the insanity begins!

If WrestleMania is the season finale of WWE's programming year, Raw the very next night is the company's season premiere. New faces debut on the show, old favorites return, and programs and storylines are initiated which, in many cases, will carry the entire company for many months. The night is notoriously unpredictable and newsworthy, and more than any other edition of Raw all year, it's watched with baited breath. Looking at the past few years' worth of post-WrestleMania Raws produces a laundry list of legendary moments. In 2010, Shawn Michaels delivered a compelling and emotional retirement speech following a loss to The Undertaker. In 2011, The Rock and John Cena made their match at the following year's show official. In 2012, Brock Lesnar returned to WWE after an eight-year absence, attacking Cena viciously. In 2013, Dolph Ziggler cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to become World Heavyweight Champion at the expense of Alberto Del Rio. In 2014, The Shield stood up to The Authority, saving Daniel Bryan and becoming fan favorites -- and targets of Evolution. All eyes are locked on WWE as WrestleMania looms on the horizon. But what earth-shattering changes will wrack the company the following night?
