Level Squish achieved via Bronze Dragonflight?

I’m no master of lore, but based on the 8.2 cinematics involving the dragon flights, their essences, those who wield them, and the activation of the essences, it all seems to set up a return of the Dragonflights to me.

I’ve seen some theories on how a level squish could be explained in terms of lore and story. Well what if N’Zoth wins, Azeroth starts to fall apart, or some other calamity (cataclysm?) occurs and boom, Bronze Dragonflight freeze time, reverse time, or starts new time line.

Now, I know you’re triggered remembering Draenor multiple timeline madness. But if a level squish happened and they attempted to explain it, a manipulation of time would certainly be a primary option. Some type of “you must return to a time before and create a new history that does not lead to the apocalypse.”

Personally, I will suffer a time-travel mess to have a Dragonflight expansion. I’d be hype as hell for a dragonkin race or some kind of Dragonflight class (red-healer, Black-tank, blue-caster?) I think it could work if they did a “go back to this point in time” and have a brand new timeline. As long as it’s not “relive the history again.”

Thoughts? Lore gods help?
