This is the Reddit screenshot I was sent by someone I know who's always been pretty reliable about knowing what's coming.
Make of it what you will.
It says nothing of Rambo or a replacement for Ash.
But if it's true, it would leave enough characters for one more ful Kombat Pack, and an odd character out.

I like this one better, and it makes a lot more sense than Rambo being impulsively added at the last minute.
If it's right, this is what I think you get:
Kai, as the new White Lotus representative, since Liu Kang is a Time God and Kung Lao is doing who knows what. Also I'm 90% sure he's Krypt Guy, and 50/50 that they're going to do an Oni in Killer Instinct and make him free DLC.
Ashrah, who as the Oni Demoness of the Netherrealm looking for redemption can be tied to any angle of the story.
Daegon, the founder of the Red Dragon, getting ready to do his Armageddon thing.
Havik, the Cleric of Chaosrealm, ready to finally being the Chaos VS Order story into future-gen MK.
Deathstroke, as a precursor to Injustice 3.
John Wick, because Keanu Reeves is about to take over gaming forever and also it's being heavily rumored that Neo is going to be in IJ3 as well, so why not? AND he could have a Friendship with his little dog, too.
And Quan Chi, the sorcerer who literally started ALL of this by teaming up with Shinnok.
At this point, I don't care what leak is right as long as the game gets better and Havik is in/we get the Armageddon 2.0 story. I'll be happy even if it's horrible, because I've waited almost two decades for the story to get a proper not ridiculously mailed in ending.
Anyway
