Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao, and others are still dead, now currently ruling the Netherrealm (with Baraka, Mileena, and Motaro joining in against their will).

The Jinsei is restored but Raiden is now dark again.

Kotal Kahn now beginning to despise Earthrealm, might possibly seek forging an alliance with the Netherrealm and Chaosrealm into going up against Dark Raiden and Earthrealm.

Kotal Kahn is gonna have Nitara as a replacement for D'Vorah, but unaware that the Moroi has other plans.

Cyrax might come back somehow, possibly semi-human since he was not seen throughout MKX

Darrius seeks to ally himself with Havik and Kotal Kahn, Reiko now becoming the new leader of the Brotherhood of Shadow, seeking to claim Shao Kahn's throne from Kotal Kahn becoming a weaker lookalike of Shao Kahn himself.

It's possible that the severed but still-living head of Shinnok would try to use some form of telepathy to manipulate Nitara, Reptile, and Reiko into doing his bidding, which in turn result in the eventual appearance of the Dragon King Onaga, bringing about his unstoppable, undefeated terracotta-esque mummified army to attack the realms, acquiring the kamidogu items and seeks to merge with The One Being into bring about the complete end of the MK Universe. I like the way you're thinking but I have a couple of thoughts.

1. Why would Kotal Kahn allign with Netherrealm and Chaosrealm? In MKX, he was all about the purity of Outworld and ruling it with an ordered justice. Netherrealm is all about taking over the realms and Chaosrealm is the opposite of order. I can see Kotal making an alliance with Orderrealm (Seido) before he ever makes an alliance with Chaosrealm. But now, I can see Raiden being in an alliance with Chaosrealm due to the intro between himself in MKX. "I am Raiden, Protector of Chaosrealm!" I know that's not a canon intro but why couldn't it be in the next game? And I just don't buy the idea of Kotal allying himself with Havik.

2. I like the idea of Nitara replacing D'Vorah but not so much the part where you said that the Moroi have other plans. This means that Kotal Kahn is easily manipulated. It's one thing to have Nitara have other motives to help Kotal but for her to be all coy about it would be overkill and it would totally discredit Kotal as a character. He's supposed to be stratigic and strong minded. If he's just going to trust someone and it doesn't work over and over again then it'll destroy Kotal as a character.

3. As far as Reiko goes, if Liu Kang and the other Revenants have control of the Netherrealm then how does Reiko have leadership of the Brotherhood of the Shadow? I could see him walking into Quan Chi's throne and taking Shao Kahn's old outfit and then wearing it and trying to take over Outworld.
