Yeah, there's no way Johnny and Sonya can single handedly take down the combined forces of Quan Chi and Shinnok, let alone their fallen allies turned mindless slaves, even with Raiden by their side. It only makes sense to introduce characters, both familar and new, in the next game to help the three of them fight off the new threat.

I have to say that I really like the idea of Shang Tsung forming a temporary alliance with Raiden and his warriors for his own reasons. That would make the story mode all that more exciting.
