10 WWE Predictions For The Raw After WrestleMania 31
7. The Fans Hijack The Show
This one is pretty much a given. Over the past few years, the live crowd has arguably been the most entertaining aspect of the post-WrestleMania Raw, with die-hard fans from all over the world packed into an arena and not afraid to express their viewpoints. It was the crowd in Miami that helped birth the "Yes!" chants (and by extension, the Yes! Movement), and a particularly rowdy bunch in New Jersey made "Fandango-ing" a thing, albeit briefly. What will be the legacy of the fans in San Jose? Odds are that John Cena and Roman Reigns shouldn't expect particularly warm welcomes, but will a superstar's career be jump-started by the vociferous bunch? Will Seth Rollins or Dean Ambrose come off as singles stars with massive ovations? Will Bad News Barrett's unique schtick make him the hot ticket in San Jose? Or will it be someone completely different? Of all the unpredictable factors on Raw, the crowd is the hardest to pinpoint.
