10 Big WWE Predictions For The Road To WrestleMania 36

6. Gang Warfare

The best thing about Seth Rollins' current stint as 'The Monday Night Messiah' is that there's still so much ground to cover with him and his gang of goons.

Rollins and Buddy Murphy are Raw Tag Team Champions, setting them up for all kinds of fresh, exciting battles with the red brand's top teams. The most obvious of these is the Viking Raiders, who'll likely get their hands on the duo again soon. Internally, they could work a tension angle with AOP. If Akam and Rezar were to argue that it should have been them, not Murphy and Rollins, who should have challenged for the belts, they'd have a great point. They are the established unit; Buddy and Seth have worked just a couple of matches together.

There's loads of mileage left in the Kevin Owens feud too. Singles matches with Murphy and Rollins could work, but Owens expanding his group of friends to meet Seth's posse four-on-four probably makes the most sense heading into 'Mania, particularly as he still has Erik and Ivar on his side.

Samoa Joe's injury is a problem, but only a minor one. In comes Aleister Black. We know that WWE are very, very high on the Dutchman, having considered him as a shock Royal Rumble winner, and helping lead the faces to triumph here would be a great springboard to something bigger.
