If a new landmass, forgotten to the denizens of Azeroth does exist, I’d want very few new races preferably none, so that we could focus on the “big ones” expanding their lands and kingdoms.
However, playing along with the OP’s question.
Horde run into a cat-folk (time and space displaced Saberon)who are uber religious, Priests and Paladins are clearly their iconic classes.
Alliance stumble into a fae kingdom, ruthless and warmongering, shaman and rogues are their classes of choice.
Visually the new races would fit in with the faction paradigm, but culturally, dey gunna clash!
the other side of azeroth ? maybe the backside of an atlas/map ? maybe the production number and date of the atlas/map ?
which race i wanna find there ? hopefully humans that have enough IQ to understand reading maps. otherwise: cats. cats are always a good thing. and some of them are even more clever than some humans. i even heard, that some of that cats even understand the difference between a map and a globe. but hey, we should not believe everything someone is telling.

You win.
But yeah, there is no other side of Azeroth to my knowledge, the map curves around in a sphere. lol
Besides, I'd rather see the Ethereal home world before fantasizing about hidden races in Azeroth, which we've already done, anyway, like the cat people in Uldum for example.
I dont think there is a "other side" of azeroth.
But as far as races that i would like to see..... perhaps some dragon/reptile-hybrid?
Im not sure how it would look but i am a fan of reptiles so something along those lines.
Or perhaps something non-humanoid but thats not compatible with WoW armor appearances.
The simple fact is WoW isn't going away anytime soon and they're going to need expansions to take place somewhere. Whether there's already a landmass there or one gets created(raised/reformed Black Empire maybe?), something will probably be on the "other side" eventually. Preexisting globes/maps mean nothing.
I'm just waiting for Wildhammers.
Or Dreadlords, but that's improbable.
Mostly because while wings are cool, they'd be an annoyance.
As for brand new races... i'd like to see something similar to gargoyles.
Tail, claws, draenei-like legs.
Skintone, shades of gray and red.
With a racial that allows them to pop wings and glide. Just like the glider ingame.
Need people of the Vrykul model.
I forget, but they were WOTLK Storm Peaks/Borean Tundra or Stormheim models I’m thinking off. The Vikings, basically.
I’d be really disgusted if they introduce Vulpera. I feel it’ll cheapen the game even more. Like pandas did.
You could also go and see the actual planet from the orbit and watch it go full 360.
(not my pic, just some random imgur find)
As for myself - I really like how draenei have sort of animal features, yet they still have a human face (with very stylized features) and don't feel like some animu girl with cat or bunny ears, which is the pinnacle of creativity in some other games.
I would love to see some other takes in that manner, perhaps with a lizard or bird theme.
I've recently came up with some alternatives to what I'd like to see on the other side of Azeroth
Alliance; Haetos: a group of aliens from a far off world that crashed on Azeroth after escaping the death of their world due to an arcane storm created by a freak accident, they appear to be similar to humans but with grey, white, and jet black skin tones, longs tails ending in a stinger, glowing emerald green eyes and extended canines along with a pair of horns on their lower jaws jutting downwards, the have a very scientific and curious society, their zone consists of their damaged and inoperable ship, a dark swamp inhabited by cannibals that believe that all other races are only good as food or as sacrifice to their gods(who are completely tired of them) and believe eating the children of the Haetos will cure their infertility, the Haetos' armor takes inspiration from the armor of Halo, Stormtroopers, and Ultraman mainly ride around on large salamanders, led by a duo of regents since the current heir is to young
Edit: armor could also be more inspired by spacesuits in general and crash survival
Horde; Oni: a large horned humanoid race that enjoy drinking the blood of their enemies but are extremely fond of those that they call allies, they consist of intimidateing males and beautiful females, their skin coming in a variety of colors, they are extremely dedicating in being he best fighters they can, they live in a city flanked by mountain of the Tengu and the cherry blossom forests of the Kitsune they wear Japanese style gear with many bones strapped on ride around on a spider with an Ox's head, led by a character that takes elements of Thanos and Shao Khan, being a well intentioned conqueror

Azeroth is flat. We'll have a convention in July.
