Not a big fan of those kindsa bosses, so I'm not a big fan of either Onaga or Blaze. I think Raiden can carry the weight of a tough, yet relatively balanced final boss like Shao Kahn and Shinnok. Shao Kahn balanced as a boss? wut? He'd cheapishly spam the shoulder charge in MK3 especially if you were cornered, and in MK9 had an x-ray that did 50+% damage and boss armor that made him harder to flinch. Suffice to say, he was complete unbalanced boss material outside the few 3D games he was playable in.

Onaga's stage weakness with the kamidogu made him rather easy, but even then, it is doubtful that Netherrealm would execute him as a boss the same way as in the Midway days... As for your sub-boss idea on him, if that were to happen then I'd like if they Goro-fied Onaga as a playable fighter (pretty much rebalance him completely as they did with Goro in MKX), however unlikely.

Shinnok I guess was more balanced than the other bosses, but also boring. Whoever the next big bad is though, Cassie should be nerfed if not gone, because who wants her beating them as well?

As for the One Being, it's hard to see them doing anything with him outside of working behind the scenes through others such as Shao Kahn and Onaga. The guy's omnipotent, so no mortal or lesser god should be able to beat him if he was ever released, and it took the Elder Gods just to imprison him.
