10 New Directions For WWE After WrestleMania 35

The dust has just about settled following an exhilarating but exhausting WrestleMania 35.

The longest WrestleMania in history was also historic for a variety of reasons; Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar to become Universal Champion thanks to three Curb Stomps (and a mandatory low blow), Becky Lynch became 'Becky Two Belts' by pinning the undefeated Ronda Rousey in the first-ever women's Mania main event, and Kofi Kingston was crowned WWE champion in emotional scenes at MetLife Stadium.

Regardless, WWE barely allows us a moment of reflection before springing their next surprise on us. We've already seen debuts, returns and championships changing hands in the immediate aftermath of 'The Show of Shows'.

If WrestleMania is WWE's season finale, then we're now entering Episode 1 of the next season of sports entertainment. Traditionally, a dip in programming quality and viewership follows Mania, but it's also seen as a fresh start for performers and storylines.

What does the company have planned for their women's titles now they're held by The Man? Which superstars need a change of scenery? Who could Paul Heyman become an advocate for next?!

*sigh* Yes, if the buzzard (or whatever the hell that thing is) in the box vignette from the TV after WrestleMania is anything to go by, Bray Wyatt's return to the WWE is imminent.

Currently awaiting the birth of his son with WWE ring announcer JoJo Offerman, Wyatt was last seen on television in a tag team loss alongside Matt Hardy last August.

The omens for an impactful return don't look good following the bird promo (which was laughed out of the building on Monday Night Raw), but after spending a week with Simon Miller, I'm feeling weirdly optimistic.

Let's hope all this bird-brained b*llocks is just used to tease a Wyatt return and then completely forgotten about once the former WWE Champion is back on our screens. His character is convoluted enough without adding a hand puppet into the mix.

Instead, return Wyatt to what made him so popular in the beginning - shock interferences, a cult following, and (most importantly of all) wins!

Luke Harper made a surprise return at WrestleMania too - re-align him with Bray and have them cost a popular (but, defeatable) foe the Money in the Bank briefcase to kick start his return to the main roster after a damaging couple of years.
