Who are the current champions in WWE?
Who do I think will beat them for the title?
UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Champion: Cody Rhodes
Prediction for Next Champion: Gunther
Explanation: Gunther beats John Cena in his final match. Built up as the top heel. He wins the Royal Rumble. Challenges Cody. Beats him at WrestleMania 42.
WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Seth Rollins
Prediction for Next Champion: Bron Breakker or Sami Zayn
Explanation: There is certainly an option to have CM Punk win the title back, but I'm going out on a limb here in saying instead, either Sami Zayn wins the title at WrestleMania 42, or we get the turn with Bron Breakker overtaking Seth's spot and becoming Paul Heyman's next #1 guy. Frankly, I could see it going to Zayn, then back to Rollins, then over to Breakker, too.
WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Undisputed Women's Champion: Tiffany Stratton
Prediction for Next Champion: ????
Explanation: Wow, I really have no idea where they're going here, to be honest. I would love for it to be Chelsea Green. But I can only really see it being Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, or Giulia as the only women in contention for any world titles, so it has to be one of them. I'd be shocked if this were someone else, at least until Liv Morgan comes back.
WWE WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Women's World Champion: Stephanie Vaquer
Prediction for Next Champion: Rhea Ripley??
Explanation: Month by month, I keep saying WWE needs to have a draft to shake up the roster. They keep not doing it. I don't think Vaquer is going to drop the title any time too soon after winning it at Wrestlepalooza, so I can only assume she's holding it at least into 2026, if not WrestleMania and potentially after. Over all that time frame, if WWE doesn't do a draft, then we're looking at the Raw crew not having a lot of options other than Rhea Ripley. I don't think she'll necessarily be the next champion, but who else am I going to put down here instead, Natalya? C'mon.
WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Intercontinental Champion: Dominik Mysterio
Prediction for Next Champion: Ilja Dragunov
WWE WOMEN'S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion: Becky Lynch
Prediction for Next Champion: AJ Lee
Explanation: I'll be annoyed as hell if they don't go with the obvious path here of Becky dropping it to AJ Lee so she can drop it to Roxanne Perez at WrestleMania.
WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE United States Champion: Sami Zayn
Prediction for Next Champion: Aleister Black
Explanation: Random guess. He's right in that sweet spot of upper-midcard and he's a heel. This makes perfect sense to me.
WWE WOMEN'S UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Women's United States Champion: Giulia
Prediction for Next Champion: Iyo Sky
Explanation: Going from Zelina Vega to Giulia was an easy call. WWE made that blatantly obvious. Where this goes next, though, is much harder to predict. I think a lot of this depends on the WWE Draft, if and when that takes place. When Tiffany Stratton eventually drops her title, she's on my radar for this, too. Charlotte Flair as well. But for now, I'll say Iyo, but everything revolving around Naomi's title has this in question since WWE doesn't want to make any announcements about that and is stalling.
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current World Tag Team Champions: The Judgment Day
Prediction for Next Champions: The Usos, The Lucha Bros or The Motor City Machine Guns
Explanation: I wasn't anticipating The New Day would just drop it to Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. I guess WWE really decided they can't go too long without The Judgment Day holding the tag team titles, for whatever reason. Cough*CRUTCH*cough. I'll keep my other teams down for who I think will win it next.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Tag Team Champions: The Wyatt Sicks
Prediction for Next Champions: Fraxiom
Explanation: Axiom and Nathan Frazer haven't held the titles yet, and they could be the superhero act to compensate for the supervillains of The Wyatt Sicks if WWE views them in that light, even though The Wyatt Sicks haven't really turned heel yet.
WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions:Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair
Prediction for Next Champions: n/a at the moment
Explanation: I reserve future edits for any kind of a draft that shakes things up, but as it stands right now, the only team I can imagine taking these belts next would be Bayley and Lyra Valkyria if they get on the same page. I think it's far more likely two people are teamed up and win the titles than for this to go to The Secret Hervice or B-Fab & Michin, for instance.
WWE SPEED CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Speed Champions: El Grande Americano
Prediction for Next Champions: I don't think WWE has any idea
Explanation: A good number of people could win this at any time, like Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, Ludwig Kaiser—oh wait, all three of those, since I put them down as my predictions, ALL started to use the El Grande Americano gimmick. That's funny. Well, since then as well, these titles have been switched over to NXT, so there goes my alternative options of Rey Fenix and Sheamus. WWE has only been talking about the women's Speed title since this change, which makes me think that they have ZERO clue what they're doing with El Grande Americano and this belt. Maybe they end up giving it to Je'Von Evans?
WWE SPEED WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Speed Women's Champions: Sol Ruca
Prediction for Next Champions: Lainey Reid
Explanation: With this now being on NXT, there goes my Alba Fyre guess. Nobody strikes me as an obvious next-in-line, particularly as I don't think heels work super well with this fast match gimmick, but I'll put down Lainey Reid until she's at least taken out of the tournament as I could see her potentially beating Ruca at Heatwave and aligning herself better with Jacy Jayne.
NXT CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Champion: Oba Femi
Prediction for Next Champions: Ricky Saints
Explanation: Clearly, Je'Von Evans can't get the job done, so I guess Starks is the one who will overthrow The Ruler of NXT. I guess it all depends on the TNA Championship situation.
NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Women's Champion: Jacy Jayne
Prediction for Next Champion: Jordynne Grace
Explanation: Well jeez, I didn't see the Jacy Jayne title win happening. I thought it would go from Vaquer to Grace. Then, I thought she was dropping the title at Evolution. Then, I underestimated how long Jayne would be a double champion as she dropped the TNA Knockouts title after just 36 days at Heatwave. Meanwhile, Grace can't win a match to save her life. This is probably a dumb pick, then, but I'm going to keep her on the list, even though they could literally just be wanting Lola Vice or someone to win instead.
NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Current North American Champion: Ethan Page
Prediction for Next Champion: Myles Borne
Explanation: I keep thinking it's going to be Je'Von Evans or Ricky Saints. I keep end up being wrong. Screw it. Let's put Myles Borne down on here and see what happens, then.
NXT WOMEN'S NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Women's North American Champion: Sol Ruca
Prediction for Next Champion: ZARIA
Explanation: Jaida Parker is also on my radar, but I'm starting to think not only is Zaria the smart play here, but that Parker might be the one to beat either Jordynne Grace or Blake Monroe for the NXT Women's Championship after Grace beats Jacy Jayne (if that happens).
NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Tag Team Champions: DarkState
Prediction for Next Champions: Uh.....
Explanation: Ew, DarkState sucks. Put the belts on nearly anyone else. I don't think they have a plan right now, though, so I'll update this once I feel like there's even a chance someone's being discussed to be the next in line.
NXT HERITAGE CUP
Current NXT Heritage Cup Champion: Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo
Prediction for Next Champions: n/a
Explanation: I've been saying for years that they should retire this. It seems like they've just decided not to feature it anymore, but haven't removed it from the site or given any explanation to it. So what are we doing here?

MEN'S WWE EVOLVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE EVOLVE Champion: Jackson Drake
Prediction for Next Champions: Sean Legacy
Explanation: I thought Legacy would win the inaugural title. They still want to keep him in title contention, but seem poised to keep him away from it for the time being. That makes me think their usual "lose, wait, come back, fight again and win" trope is going to happen here and Legacy will win the title down the road.
WOMEN'S WWE EVOLVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE EVOLVE Women's Champion: Kali Armstrong
Prediction for Next Champions: Tyra Mae Steele
Explanation: Zayda Steel is a possible option, but since they went with Jackson Drake for the men's title, I don't think The Vanity Project is going to be sweeping this. Steel could definitely win this, or she'll be moved over to NXT proper before she gets a chance. Then again, Tyra Mae Steele is another potential option. Steel or Steele.
MEN'S WWE ID CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE ID Women's Champion: Cappuccino Jones
Prediction for Next Champions: n/a
Explanation: It isn't worth trying to predict how people who aren't truly signed to the company can win titles on house shows that aren't aired.
WOMEN'S WWE ID CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE ID Women's Champion: Kylie Rae
Prediction for Next Champions: n/a
Explanation: It isn't worth trying to predict how people who aren't truly signed to the company can win titles on house shows that aren't aired.
