Also, in the interview where he first introduced MKX, Boon said that the "big bad" was going to be a familiar character. This tells me that even though JillKill is right by saying that we'll follow Kotal Kahn's rise and fall that Macaulyn is right by saying that there won't be a focus on it. My guess is and always has been Liu Kang as an angry vengeful person trying to kill Raiden. At that point, I think that Raiden will be the protagonist of this story.
