Braun Strowman will not have a Universal Title reign in 2019.

ERG89

Truth to get confused and try come out at no.30 in the Women's Rumble.
Lynch to win that match via eliminating Nia Jax.
Whoever wins the men's Rumble will be forgotten as fast as Nakamura's win was.
Ratings to rise a bit in the new year but will slump to the same low during the same period next year.
Model WWE employees will continue to defend a bad product by continuing to say its very hard writing 5 hours of TV a week even when WWE has been doing at least 4 hours for nearly 2 decades.
Most WWE talents not being pushed now will continue to not be and still won't leave.
ROH to lose more talent and the MSG show basically becomes a NJPW event.
The Elite promotion will struggle to sign talent outside of their friends and fan perception of the group will go downhill.
Omega stays with New Japan and doesn't leave exclusively.
Most promotions will struggle due to a lack of unsigned talent available.

A couple of weeks too early for 2019 but Nick Miller of NXT's The Mighty (formerly TM61) was released yesterday. I'd call that unexpected and it leaves Shane Thorne as a solo act.

demanufactured

A small wrasslin company from the south will be bought up by a billionaire named Ted Turner.
He will hire some young buck named Eric Bichsoff to oversee things there.

They plan to take on WWE in some kind of "Monday Night War".
