The Street to WrestleMania is approaching with the flip of the brand new yr. January by way of April are a number of the most essential months on the WWE calendar. It is an thrilling season for skilled wrestling followers and consultants to invest.
WWE welcomes 2025 with a bang for Monday Evening Uncooked’s Netflix debut on Jan. 6. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa interact in Tribal Fight, John Cena begins his retirement tour and CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins lastly takes place. These high-stakes storylines will seemingly form WWE’s path by way of WrestleMania and past.
With that in thoughts, our consultants took a shot at some predictions for what we may see occur within the new yr.
Solo Sikoa is left adrift after being kicked out of the New Bloodline
The Bloodline Saga is bound to take a number of new turns within the coming yr. WWE clearly has no real interest in ending its well-regarded storyline any time quickly, which leaves the query of how the storyline continues to evolve with distinctive and fascinating story developments. One factor that appears very a lot in play is that Sikoa ultimately falls sufferer to his personal hubristic strategy to taking up because the chief of The Bloodline after Reigns misplaced the undisputed WWE championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
Sikoa invited instability into his life as he recruited wild, unhinged characters equivalent to Jacob Fatu to again his play. These wildcards may see him as an unworthy chief if he cannot show himself higher than Reigns within the ring. Would Fatu, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa proceed to comply with Sikoa unquestionably if he cannot actually show to be the precise “Tribal Chief” and “Head of the Desk”? Or would the group kick Sikoa to the curb, leaving the present chief rudderless in an effort to take a extra animalistic strategy to their future as they search for a brand new chief who can get the job executed. Fatu’s fixed yells of “I like you, Solo” shortly flip right into a extra sinister twist on the time period of affection as he buries the knife in Sikoa’s again? And would Reigns and the “OG Bloodline” ever welcome Sikoa again into the fold? That is the form of dramatic scenario that has propelled the saga up to now and will proceed to maneuver it ahead all through 2025. — Brent Brookhouse
John Cena embarks on an all-star retirement tour towards elite opponents
2025 is Cena’s final yr as an in-ring skilled wrestler. The 16-time world champion embarks on a retirement tour worthy of his standing as a longtime main man. Cena has principally wrestled part-time since 2019 however plans to be extra energetic in his twenty sixth and ultimate yr. He is already scheduled for the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 41. That offers Cena ample time to piece collectively a blockbuster 12-month run. I count on we’ll see Cena wrestle one final time towards CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns. Heck, WWE may even pull off a trilogy match towards The Rock. Add contemporary matchups towards guys like Gunther, plus a doable record-setting seventeenth world title run, and you’ve got one hell of a send-off for an all-time nice. — Shakiel Mahjouri
