    The names of the past expansions have always revolved around one of the three topics (sometimes two at once): an event, a place, or a baddie. Of that three, places were used only when there was no big unifying event or a clear baddie for that expansion (Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Dreanor). As for a death-themed expansion there is a clear overarching motif of death (or a potential baddie - Death itself). It's hard to say if there will be some big "event" ongoing through the expansion where the forces of Death intend to kill everyone (in which case a name like "the Harvest of Souls" would be fitting), however with W3:Reforged coming out soon, I assume they will try to cash in on the nostalgia with:
    "World of Warcraft: Reign of Death"

    Hmm, a 1-post account with a lengthy reasoning to explain why they think the expansion is called and so and so to avoid being sued by Blizzard...

    Joking, of course. Reign of Death sounds dope though. I want that to be the name.

    I bet they really wanted to call it Warcraft: Twilight, but couldn't because of a certain book/movie series. So it will probably be called Dragon's Dawn or something similar.

    Wrathful Return of the Deathly Shadowvoid King.
    Meanwhile, back on Azeroth, the overwhelming majority of the orcs languished in internment camps. One Orc had a dream. A dream to reunite the disparate souls trapped under the lock and key of the Alliance. So he raided the internment camps, freeing those orcs that he could, and reached out to a downtrodden tribe of trolls to aid him in rebuilding a Horde where orcs could live free of the humans who defeated them so long ago. That orc's name was... Rend.

    World of Warcraft - Title refers to inciting event of expansion.
    Burning Crusade - Title refers to principle antagonist.
    Wrath of the Lich King - Title refers to principle antagonist.
    Cataclysm - Title refers to inciting event of expansion.
    Mists of Pandaria - Title refers to inciting event of expansion.
    Warlords of Draenor - Title refers to principle antagonist.
    Legion - Title refers to principle antagonist.
    Battle for Azeroth - Title refers to inciting event of expansion.

    If we follow the pattern, the title will likely refer to the unknown inciting event of the expansion. Furthermore, it is more likely to be a three word phrase than a single word.

    You can find patterns anywhere if you look hard enough.

    Return of the Lich King or Shadowlands

    Honestly, it will probably just be "Shadowlands" unless they go with something completely unrelated...

    "Revenge of Tuskarr Empire"

    Tuskarrs will be the enemy they will take revenge upon us for causing a lot of damage to Azeroth.
