In the current timeline's case, it'd be Hanzo's shot at redemption after his antics in MKX. Which antics? The fact that Scorpion killed Quan Chi before he could reverse the affects of the revenants.

But to conclude with what Ridley Prime was talking about: I don't disagree that Scorpion should be the Elder God Champion because it did bring a new "cool" to him. However, I would assume that they would want/need someone who is stronger and more powerful to become the new champion. Plus, the only reason why they even got Scorpion in the first place was because he was in the Soulnado and taken out of there. Now, if that's the way to become the Elder God Champion then the position would be handed over to Noob Saibot because of him being in the Soulnado in MK9. So, why would the Elder Gods choose Scorpion now?
