Who are the current champions in WWE? Who do I think will beat them for the title?
Here is a list of all the WWE Superstars who are holding a title right now and some predictions for who may dethrone them to become the next champion.
UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Champion: Cody Rhodes
Prediction for Next Champion: Randy Orton
Explanation: I'll admit, with the way WrestleMania went down, I have no clue where they're going with this haphazard story.
WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Roman Reigns
Prediction for Next Champion: Bron Breakker
Explanation: I think we're getting a variation of the original plan, which was supposedly Roman Reigns beating Seth Rollins for this belt and then losing it to Bron Breakker at SummerSlam. OTC beats Punk at Mania, holds it until Minneapolis and drops it to Breakker there.
WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Undisputed Women's Champion: Rhea Ripley
Prediction for Next Champion: No idea
Explanation: I would love to see Chelsea Green win this, but I can't imagine that's at all a chance. Jade Cargill winning it back is certainly a possibility. Tiffany Stratton is on the radar. Charlotte Flair is one to watch out for, too.
WWE WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Women's World Champion: Liv Morgan
Prediction for Next Champion: No idea right now
Explanation: Immediately following Morgan's win at WrestleMania, nobody stands out to me as an obvious next in line. I'll update this once I think of someone worth predicting with any bit of confidence, as it's a total blind guess for me right now. It could be Iyo Sky or maybe an eventual return of Naomi. I don't think Stephanie Vaquer will just win it back.
MEN'S WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Intercontinental Champion: Penta
Prediction for Next Champion: Ethan Page
WWE WOMEN'S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion: Becky Lynch
Prediction for Next Champion: Sol Ruca
Explanation: Let's see what happens after WrestleMania.
MEN'S WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE United States Champion: Trick Williams
Prediction for Next Champion: Carmelo Hayes?
Explanation: Maybe?
WWE WOMEN'S UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Women's United States Champion: Giulia
Prediction for Next Champion: Tiffany Stratton
Explanation: If Stratton doesn't win it from Giulia, it'll be Jordynne Grace or Chelsea Green, eventually, but I'll go with Tiffy first.
WWE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current World Tag Team Champions: The Vision (Austin Theory & Logan Paul)
Prediction for Next Champions: The Usos (Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso)
Explanation: I'd imagine they win the belts back a little after WrestleMania, maybe at Backlash.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Tag Team Champions: Damian Priest & R-Truth
Prediction for Next Champions: The Motor City Machine Guns
Explanation: For now, The Motor City Machine Guns turning heel seems like a strong possibility to me, maybe with Johnny Gargano helping them out and becoming a trio.
WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions: Brie Bella & Paige
Prediction for Next Champions: Literally any team is an option
Explanation: Maybe when Nikki Bella is ready to go, she and Brie turn on Paige? Or do they just give the belts to Roxanne and Raquel or some other team?
WWE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Champion: Tony D'Angelo
Prediction for Next Champions: Keanu Carver
Explanation: Random guess for now.
WWE NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Women's Champion: Lola Vice
Prediction for Next Champion: Zaria
Explanation: We need to see how things get reset after WrestleMania, but I'm at least hoping Zaria is within the discussion.
WWE NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Current North American Champion: Myles Borne
Prediction for Next Champion: Charlie Dempsey
Explanation: Birthright has a claim to this in a handful of options, and Jackson Drake is also someone to watch out for once he loses the EVOLVE title, and I wouldn't count out someone like Keanu Carver, either. But out of all the options, Dempsey is either going to be a challenger who puts over Borne, or the next in line, and I'm hoping it's the latter.
WWE NXT WOMEN'S NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Women's North American Champion: Tatum Paxley
Prediction for Next Champion: Blake Monroe
Explanation: They didn't make that custom belt for no reason, right?
WWE NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Tag Team Champions: The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes)
Prediction for Next Champions: OTM
Explanation: OTM continues to be a team WWE keeps going back to for random pushes, so they must like them enough to want to give them the ball at some point. I could see a makeshift team being forged in the coming months (I'm writing this on February 24th) like Sean Legacy and Eli Knight or whatever, too, but Bronco Nima and Lucien Price are the safest prediction.
WWE SPEED CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Speed Champions: Vacant
Prediction for Next Champions: EK Prosper
Explanation: Between EK Prosper and Lexis King, there are no certainties, but Prosper has been hovering this belt for a while, so I'll lean more in his direction.
WWE SPEED WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Speed Women's Champions: Wren Sinclair
Prediction for Next Champions: Thea Hail
Explanation: I could see them giving this belt to Hail to compensate for the North American title situation, in a weird way of being like "See? We do value you. Just not THAT much right now." At least, I hope she's in the running for this, as Hail's great. Good on Sinclair on winning this, too, for that matter. It seems this is going to be a more lower-card title, so if it isn't Hail, it could be any number of others, including Lainey Reid, even.
WWE 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: Aaron Rourke
Prediction for Next Champions: Kam Hendrix or Harlem Lewis
Explanation: I didn't expect Aaron Rourke to be the guy to beat Jackson Drake, so any number of people could be the next in line instead of Hendrix or Lewis, but those are the two positioned most clearly at the top right now and the safest bets.
WOMEN'S WWE EVOLVE CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE EVOLVE Women's Champion: Wendy Choo
Prediction for Next Champions: PJ Vasa
Explanation: I'm glad Choo got the belt. I don't think she'll hold it for long, but it's cool that she's getting some recognition after all this time.
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: Laynie Luck
Prediction for Next Champions: n/a
Explanation: There's no use in predicting it, to be honest, just the same as the men's.
