I have a theory.

Without Snoke to keep twisting him to the dark side, Kylo Ren might reform (they hinted at this explaining Snoke's purpose in the films, plus he showed he did have a bit of light in him when he didn't kill Leia on the bridge, and despite killing Han, even now might not be as sinister as Snoke, Hux, and Phasma). Then Hux will take over as a "final antagonist" of sorts, explaining why he survived the sequel trilogy's equivalent of Tarkin's death. So he'll take the climactic fall at the end in Kylo Ren's place.
