Raiden is so cool that the strongest weapon he really needs is a stick!

I think Raiden is following a blind path.
What he thinks was a prevention of Armageddon, I believe is mere postponement.
If we look closely, he concludes that Armageddon has been prevented because his amulet is fixed. That was the only, and the worst, way of thinking about it.
The amulet matches his death, not the apocalypse. Ok, after Raiden's death, the blaze-powered Kahn "killed Earthrealm (which is not so obvious in the movie)" (words used by Vogel when I asked about Taven on Facebook), so it started the end of all things, but the Thunder God's death and Armageddon were not necessary events, I mean, the amulet broke before Armageddon could have happen.
Following this, Raiden start changing events keeping an eye on the amulet cracks. He just stopped when the cracks were fixed, and this just happened when he realized that if Kahn merged Outworld with Earthrealm without winning the 10 tournaments he would be punished.
So the big event that mascarades the avertion of Armageddon is that when Kahn is taken by the Elder Gods to be judged. By doing this, Raiden averted not Armageddon, but averted Shao Kahn's existence in the same way it happened in the unchanged timeline, and in consequence, averted Kahn's presence on the day, hour and year of THAT Armageddon when he was killed and the amulet cracked.
In other words, Raiden prevented Kahn from existing on the fight that cracked the amulet. So he didn't dodged Armageddon, he prevented his death on the hands of Shao Kahn the way it happened. He mere postponed the end because kombatants will keep growing, unstabling the realms with the intense kombat and its merging. It does not matter if Kahn return or not, he will never follow the events exactly the way it happened, so the exact cracks that were transported to Raiden's past alter ego never happened.
Armageddon is still on course, probally years after, or before, who knows, but its causes didn't cease to exist with Kahn's punishment and future Raiden's death prevented.
Unless....the death of all the major kombatants was enough to keep the realms balanced...I mean earths mightiest worriors were killed. Could that provide enough balance to keep Armageddon from happening... and on top of the WHERE IS RAIDENS AMULET?!?!?! Does anybody not notice its missing??
Also Raiden can stop Shujinko in his tracks, destroy the dragon egg, find blaze and put him on a different path, and find dagon and taven and put them to a fight to the death with Taven being the victor....shit that would completely prevent Armageddon all together. Raiden has seen the future he knows what he must do...that ambulant saved his life...stoped kahn..and now I look at raiden now and what isn't there...his amulet, maybe he threw It away because it led to all his friends to die..but still he can have visions of future events he wants to change,,,,
.Why the hell would they change the past just to pump out the same future. His visions were good enough to stop smoke from being a Robot, prevent the death of Johnny Cage, ect..how is it not possable for him to stop Shujinko from completing his quest?
how is this not clear enough?!?!?
