^ That KAF idea is pretty cool.

Even though I'd like to wait for Tremor and Tanya to become available to play, and by extension have the opportunity to see their arcade endings as to what elements maybe used for the plot of the next game, I'll offer what I think will happen:

1. Restarting the Sub-Zero vs Scorpion rivalry: Considering that these two are the main attraction for many fans, I think its safe to say that something is going to occur to cause their new found peace to be broken. If Scorpion's ending is anything to go by, he and the Shirai Ryu will be part of Dark Raiden's new Earthrealm Defense Forces. However Kuai Liang will likely be opposed to these proposed actions of subjugating and possibly exterminating all other realms as unjustifiable and seek to covertly stop Dark Raiden's plans. In addition, I also think that Dark Raiden will also seek to forge an alliance with Seido to achieve his plan.

2. Raiden's fight against Fate: I believe that a sequel to MKX will have sort of theme about Fate vs Free will as some events similar to DA and Deception play out (the rise of a new Deadly Alliance, the Red Dragon taking a more active role to fulfill its goals, and the resurrection of Onaga by different means.) with Raiden seeing himself as leading Team Free will wanting to prevent Armageddon by any means, even if it means committing genocide against all other (if non-threatening) realms, necessary and the Mysterious Woman in White on Team Fate, and several other factions in the middle of it.

3. Killing Shujinko by Bill O'Reilly(:P): Perhaps if they decide to incorporate Cassie's arcade ending, the last fight of the very first chapter will end with a Cassie vs Shujinko fight in which Dark Raiden will take the latter away to prevent him from completing his journey via executing him. Unbeknown to Raiden, this in turn will prompt Onaga to find someone else to manipulate to complete it.

4. The new Deadly Alliance: Due to neither Shang Tsung nor Quan Chi being physically around anymore, a new pair of villainous characters (One of which I suspect will be Havik) will emerge to create a new Deadly Alliance that will seek to assassinate various high ranking people across the realm for some purpose. Though in a plot twist, the "Deadly Alliance" might be revealed to be a heroic force that has learned of Dark Raiden's genocidal plans and sought to obstruct those plans and seek to expose the conspiracy before the peoples of the realms and that Dark Raiden has lied to Cassie and her team in order to cover up his scheme.
