Magni in-fact, becomes the joint leader of the Horde and the Alliance, because as the voice of the world, he has in-fact the -best- story.

My only hope is that Azshara has a final trick up her sleeve; instead of dying, as the heroes of Azeroth intend, she chooses to turn on her own master and consumes N’Zoth’s essence, becoming a greater evil than ever before. In the midst of the chaos, she either beats the players or departs to parts unknown, to truly harness this new power.
Mostly I just find her to be far more interesting and compelling than Blizzard’s knock-off Cthulhu. Having her pose as the primary antagonist of her own expansion, featuring Nyalotha and the monsters that dwell within - playing on the cosmic horror trope, with the carcasses of great creatures of the depths, etc - would be awesome.

The way Blizzard probably will.
8.2.5 ends with Azshara dying, but N’Zoth rises. We probably have Ny’alotha for our 8.3, then N’Zoth for our 8.3.5, who we soundly thrash.
Blizzard then announces World of Warcraft: Scourge.
Sethelayn rises to claim his rightful title as king of the Scourge as the rabble fights the forces of the Void…

If I had to follow where Blizzard are going right now then I would follow Azshara’s plans. Alliance is utterly devastated which levels the playing field again for Sylvanas to continue her schemes as the rebels within the Horde conspire etc. There’s a lot of blood and death on blue team which team red was more than happy to abuse, as they’re also aware they need to equalise sides when conflict reignites.
The Alliance largely resents being the main backbone that went about stopping the greater threat. What should have been a battle for team red and blue to see eye-to-eye in this war has driven them apart again as the Horde sat back an took glory for an Alliance victory. Anduin tries to keep his people together to focus purely on Sylvanas, using his wishy-washy ‘not all Horde’ rhetoric – but most of the Alliance leadership wants the entire Horde dismantled just as they promised under Varian. They believe the only way to ensure this vision of peace is systematically destroying the Horde and to ensure one never rises again. Anduin as a result is embroiled in political chaos, he is beginning to be seen as weak by the people and his court. He is called a Horde sympathiser behind his back – tales of his letters to Baine are exposed, his failures at Lordaeron, allowing Horde to free prisoners in his city and so on. Nobility plot and scheme as they did during the days of Lady Prestor.
It is clear however while the Alliance want the Horde gone they are not able to sustain this war. There are riots over food, taxes, forced conscription’s. Piracy has steeply risen with the death of the Alliance fleet, cargo ships cannot be protected. Crime is on a steep rise as there are less guards on the streets, banditry has returned to the kingdoms as it’s armies are vacant. There are barely any proper soldiers left as Lordaeron, Zandalar and Azshara have severely weakened them.
Sylvanas plan to rip the blue team apart with political intrigue is starting to work, and it’s greatly implied she and her agents have their hand in spreading these rumours, inciting riots, and fuelling tension. Stormwind nobility offered immortality for their service to Sylvanas? Maybe a secret cult dedicated to her vision. You could even throw the Twilight Hammer into the works helping this chaos, seeing the Dark Lady as a prophet for the End Times.
Genn and Jaina do their part to hold things together as Anduin becomes withdrawn and overwhelmed. The Kal’dorei are out of the picture as the Alliance still cannot afford to send troops. The Alliance shows first signs of breaking. Almost ironically the only people most loyal to the cause now are the Gilneans and Kul Tirans. Team blue still show moderate success in the war of attrition as they are starting to turn the tide of the war back into their favour against the Horde, but their armies are scattered all over the world with Stormwind sparsely defended.
Sylvanas attacks. Necromancy used in full force to raise ships and soldiers as a largely Forsaken army strikes the city of Stormwind from it’s weakest point; the docks. Stormwind is devastated, its burned, blighted, it’s people raised as soldiers in the Dark Lady’s army as survivors flee. It’s such a horrible sacking that this is what truly pushes the rebel Horde over the edge in full rebellion, and wakes Anduin out of his uncertainty to rally his faction. Maybe Nathanos is beginning to doubt the Dark Lady’s goals and is thinking this is a bad idea as he and the Forsaken witness Sylvanas enslaving Stormwind undead into mindless thralls (cue reason for Forsaken to stay Horde).
The killing blow Sylvanas hoped for does not force the Alliance to capitulate however and she miscalculated. Her agents fail to kill key leaders either because they’re insider rebels or they just lose the raid fight etc. Either-way it doesn’t break the Alliance but unifies them against a true evil (herself).
Things with Magni and co are getting worse, its evident all this death is making Azeroth weaker and the Old Gods stronger, but his goal on uniting people has failed and he himself has been made a pawn somehow, Maybe in the end he is forced to pick a side believing the only way they can save Azeroth is by rejoining the Alliance and taking out the Horde etc. Prophecy begins to align at this point.
The Horde is now embroiled in a second civil war as the Alliance is reeling for the attack, giving them room to breath. Rebel Horde is shocked Sylvanas still largely has support of a ignorant people who think they’ve won great victories, unaware of how they came about. The Dark Lady is winning the propaganda war to bring a ‘final peace’ and the Horde rebels are shown how ugly their faction has become in it’s lust for war and death. Or maybe it was always like that and the rebels are just now being shown the Alliance viewpoint.
The rebellion is bloody and bitter, key figures are taken out before it even began (Lor’themar for example). Sylvanas has spent all this time letting the rebellion stew just to take names and lure them into a traps. The uprising loses due to Sylvanas holding all the cards - among Old God weaponry - but still at great cost to the Dark Lady and her war effort. Before Sylvanas can fully clean up the rebellion the rallying Alliance march on Sylvanas for one final showdown with what’s left of the resistance. The final battle happens somewhere cool (idk), it’s driven both factions over the edge using horrible weapons and magic against each other with the idea of total annihilation on the table as the fight just becomes a gruesome three-way of Horde rebels, Alliance, Loyalist Horde. Maybe we see cinematics over the world where Jaina destroys Orgrimmar at some point with her magic, Horde and Alliance soldiers brutally slaughtering civilians and towns and so on. The Kal’dorei are going insane with their slaughter killing both Horde and Horde rebel alike; we are shown just how corrupt this war has made everyone. Anduin is probably the only ‘good guy’ left in a true morally grey.
Some big speech happens, Anduin probably says “ooooomg i hate you” and Sylvanas is like “haha you got owned by me” and then with all the blood, death and total lose of humanity around them and the world the final ritual is complete and the world shakes as the Old Gods is born into violence, hatred and murder. The world shatters much worse than the Cataclysm, Sylvanas is either totally shocked this prophecy happened or expected it. She is consumed by the great shadow cast over the battlefield and goes missing as the survivors call for a retreat as void terrors spew from the rifts as Azeroth shatters. No one wins the battle but the Old Gods.
World is pooped, the End Times are upon Azeroth. The Horde and Alliance are reduced to nearly nothing as many of their names characters die, their cities and towns are destroyed and the world plunges into it’s darkest hour to stop the greater threat. Cue speeches about how war sucks and we need to be united etc.
I’m also just fine with Azeroth exploding like Warhammer’s End Times and we just get some horribly messed up ‘Bigger Outland’.

Everything is t*ts up, Naga forces are swarming the coasts around the entire world as N’zoth’s form emerges. To hell with it, the Horde and Alliance are pretty much dissolved. The time for allegience are over, it’s just a matter of surviving and ending the nascent Black Empire rising from the ocean. Insert your own plot twist about what character betrays who (let’s be honest it would probably be Alleria after her kid bites the dust) as the expansion culminates in a mad dash to the center of Ny’alotha to vanquish N’zoth.
Magni is quietly forgotten about.

Dissent continues within the Horde with the return of Thrall and Saurfang. Either they light a spark of rebellion or generally #diplomacy Sylvanas somehow. The outcome is irrelevant because, Jaina’s brother having killed her mother but failed to kill her incited Jaina to order an assault against the Horde, now that it was weakened. Anduin cannot deny her, and Genn takes her side of the argument. The two factions duke it out, until it is somehow revealed (perhaps by Sylvanas) that Anduin has been corrupted by N’zoth, and ends up being the final boss. The sacking of Stormwind proceedes, with the young prince holed up in his fortress. Final raid is Stormwind, first on the streets, and then the Keep.

It wouldn’t even be impossible to pull off for WoW2; fighting over different planar realms like netherspace filled with Legion remnants, Deepholm, Firelands, the undead filled Shadowlands and so on, various lore characters ruling each realm (“YOU DARE TRESPASS INTO MY DOMAIN?”) but who’s Sigmar in all this?
How about Nathanos turning against Sylvanas in an epic final twist

Velen takes the Vindicaar into orbit and Death Stars the planet to save the universe from the remarkable amount of nonsense that has taken place the last few years.
Then he remembers how much of a failure the golden glowing Draenei X’era pulled out of her crystaline butt are and kicks them out an airlock along with Alleria and Turalyon.
Don’t look at me like that, you all want this to happen…

Old gods win, the factions are utterly destroyed, 90% of faction population is obliterated and the new dark empire emerges from the depths. Then the survivors must band together to face the insurmountable odds and survive in this hell.
I am of the belief that neither faction deserves to exist after BfA and that they need to be abolished completely.
