I could see an alliance formed by Shinnok and Raiden, to destroy the elder gods.

Shinnok gets betrayed by Quan Chi with the whole amulet thing, and is imprisoned in the Nether Realm.
Raiden, having earned the scorn of Liu Kang, the earth realm warriors, and the elder gods, is stripped of his god status.

The two meet in the Nether Realm, realize they both hate pretty much everyone, and team up to destroy the elder gods and conquer the realms!

New deadly alliance!
