I’d be wary of doing things like that. All people from all worlds throughout all of time end up in the Shadowlands, so if we go in, break all the furniture, and leave while placing a bunch of people from our world from the past twenty years in charge of everything it would stretch suspension of disbelief just a bit
Garrosh will save the Horde.

I will admit, I like the fact Garrosh is considered an “Old Reliable” to these people in terms of Anima production.
Finally, Garrosh is actually HELPING others!

That, plus just seeing evil people suffer fills me with pleasure.
…I’m not a nice person, am I? Hum.
I mean, you can be a nice person but still gain pleasure from schadenfreude…
Arthas is going to re-jail the Jailer and then he’ll go face Illidan in a later expansion in an epic Jailer vs. Sargeras Pokemon battle.

I’m gonna bet that the Shadowblands expansion ends with us learning that the Covenants are actually a horrible idea that the Titans forced onto the Shadowlands, and we have to save as much of them as we can as the Jailor tears his way free to balance the cycle of Life and Death, and that a certain Sire was right all along.
Sylvanas is crowing about how she was right all along before the Sire and the Jailor squish her in-front of Nathanos and we’re all given a very short period of time to get out of ‘his’ realm, as other Titan+±like beings rise up from the Shadowlands, revealing themselves to be the Titans’ ‘parents’, the original beings who shaped the universe and that while we’ve proven ourselves, we’re also not their children, and we’d do well to stay on Azeroth, do our best to undo the Titans’ machinations on the World Soul and keep our heads down, because here comes the Universal Smack-Down.
Next Expansion kicks off with the Titans+Sargeras and his Legion working together against these ‘First Ones’, while a battered and nearly-dead Illidan comes home to tell us dire tales of what the Titans are actually up to, and whom they serve, and ramps up to revealing that there’s ‘Titans’ in every Major Power. Arcane, Fel, Light, Void, Life, Death, and their feuding is what shattered the original reality and created the current one.
Thus we’re jumping into repurposed Legion vessels and the Blingadar and heading off into space to find moderates amongst these Titan++ beings and convincing them to come together and try to solve the matter peacefully as entire sections of reality starts warping and getting wiped out as these ‘Gods’ stop fighting through proxies and decide to get their own hands dirty.

Honest answer - I’m not sure. Some of the table missions are incorrect with current lore. For example there’s one where you can fight Warden Stillwater… who was executed by the Forsaken in Cata.
But in the absence of any OTHER lore about what happened to Forsaken lands other than the Undercity itself… I’ll take it!

Yeah. Honestly though I am inclined to not take them as canon, but as you said… In absence of other lore, what else is there?

That’s more thought than I think Blizzard is capable of.

Gilneas is my favorite example. At the end of Forsaken questing in Cata it’s back under Gilnean/Alliance control, but all later content acts like it’s either occupied or no-mans-land, then I believe the mission table treats it like it’s back in Alliance hands again.

I think the only way we see a “reclaimed” Gilneas is in WoW 2: Electric Boogaloo Reborn

We actually have confirmation that the titans have little to nothing to do with the Shadowlands formation. It’s suggested everything there pre-dates the Titans birth.
To be fair we also had confirmation that the Eredar corrupted Sargeras, but then wait no it was the Nathrezim, but wait no the void scared the poop out of him. I don’t think they’re going to retcon it in this case as this cosmic balance stuff appears to me to be them expanding the world building such that they’ll have villains and threats for years without massive retcons, but it just bears mentioning that they’ve retconned “confirmed” information plenty before.
Yeah, but typically not information given out right before the expansion it’s gonna be relevant in. For the foreseeable future, this will be the case, more likely than not.
To be frank, it just feels like a slightly re-skinned Suramar story.
Evil/deceptive leaders oppress the underprivileged citizens by with holding food resource, leading underprivileged citizens to an uprising led by The Hero!
Meh 
this could have been a lot better. I’m not very excited TBH.
