1. A New Power Struggle

Stephanie McMahon Ronda Rousey

Provided she she's a quick learner, there's no limit to what WWE can do with Ronda Rousey. The star power's already there, and if 'Rowdy' finds a compelling character and takes to wrestling as swiftly as her friend, Shayna Baszler, she'll be a massive money-making asset.

It's imperative the company get her first feud right, and that's what makes her Road to WrestleMania so intriguing.

We anticipate a big showdown with Stephanie McMahon over the coming weeks. She was cagey and pensive when greeting Ronda at the Royal Rumble, and a big tag match has been rumoured, with Rousey facing Stephanie and Triple H. Who will her partner be? Well, there's only one logical choice.

Kurt Angle has lingering beef with Raw's power couple. Steph loves undermining her General Managers, and has already emasculated the Olympian on several occasions, while Hunter turned on him at Survivor Series. This makes him the perfect partner. If Rousey butts heads with Steph, Angle has a readymade reason to step in, leading to several weeks of the two sides wrangling for power on Raw, before the babyface side vanquishes the heels at WrestleMania.
