No you see there's this theory that the current timeline was always the original timeline, the evidence is pretty good for instance when Eobard killed Barry's mom his memories didn't vanish even when he would use his powers like Barry at the start of season 3. And so far everything that was meant to happen seems to be happening, Iris and Barry will get married, the Flash from 2024 has a brighter red suit like what Cisco noted in the episode they saw the newspaper in. Of course there would be some plot holes if this happened.
