Who are the current champions in WWE?
Who do I think will beat them for the title?
Who do I think will beat them for the title?
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Current WWE Champion: Drew McIntyre
Prediction for Next Champion: AJ Styles
Explanation: I really, really hope it isn't Brock Lesnar. I'd be cool with Randy Orton, for instance, but I'm hoping it's The Phenomenal One.
WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Universal Champion: Braun Strowman
Prediction for Next Champion: Roman Reigns
Explanation: I'm assuming Reigns beats Strowman for the title at SummerSlam, if they're able to have that event. If not Reigns, maybe it goes back to The Fiend at either Backlash or Extreme Rules.
RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Raw Women's Champion: Asuka
Prediction for Next Champion: Shayna Baszler or Bianca Belair
Explanation: I doubt WWE had it in their plans for Becky Lynch to drop the title in the way she did. Thus, I don't think they have any plans whatsoever for who the next champion will be. As a complete random guess, I'll just say Baszler takes it from Asuka, because there's more of a chance that happens than for the title to go to someone like Natalya. But hey, maybe Bianca Belair wins it? That would be cool.
SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current SmackDown Women's Champion: Bayley
Prediction for Next Champion: Sasha Banks
Explanation: WrestleMania didn't happen. They keep putting this on the back burner for 2+ years. Maybe SummerSlam? I just want this to end.
WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Intercontinental Champion: Vacant
Prediction for Next Champion: Daniel Bryan
Explanation: Zayn isn't showing up for tapings, so they had him vacate the title. Now, they have to crown a new champion. Until it's advertised who will compete in the tournament, I'll just stick with my Daniel Bryan pick, but it might go to Sheamus, King Corbin, Jeff Hardy or even Mustafa Ali.
WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
Current United States Champion: Apollo Crews
Prediction for Next Champion: Austin Theory
Explanation: Shot in the dark.
RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Raw Tag Team Champions: The Street Profits
Prediction for Next Champions: No idea
Explanation: I have literally no clue. This pandemic makes it impossible to guess who is even available, let alone who WWE might want to prioritize. Everything changes every day.
SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current SmackDown Tag Team Champions: The New Day
Prediction for Next Champions: The Forgotten Sons
Explanation: John Morrison and The Miz could win it back, but it's always worth guessing a new addition to the roster could become champion first. Then again, this is a tag title in a pandemic that was won in a singles match. WWE clearly has no idea what they're doing and probably doesn't care, either.
WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Women's Tag Team Champions: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross
Prediction for Next Champions: The IIconics
Explanation: No idea. Not at all. Especially with all these releases. Maybe The IIconics get brought back and win the titles. They didn't get let go, so that's worth a guess. At least, it's as good as any other prediction could be.
WWE 24/7 CHAMPIONSHIP
Current 24/7 Champion: Rob Gronkowski
Prediction for Next Champion: R-Truth
Explanation: By its sheer nature, WWE will literally do completely random things with this title at completely random moments and none of it will mean absolutely anything. That means there's ZERO point in trying to predict who the next champion will be. ---- However, it's going to R-Truth. He's the best option to film some extra segment where he beats Gronk.
NXT CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Champion: Adam Cole
Prediction for Next Champions: No idea
Explanation: I don't have the slightest clue.
NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Women's Champion: Charlotte Flair
Prediction for Next Champion: Rhea Ripley
Explanation: I think it was a MAJOR mistake putting the title on Flair. I don't understand WWE's philosophy behind that at all, and I don't think it does anyone any favors for Ripley to have dropped the belt just to win it back. She shouldn't have lost it to begin with and she gets zero boost in credibility by beating someone who beat her, instead of just beating Flair at Mania.
NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Tag Team Champions: Imperium (Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner)
Prediction for Next Champions: No idea.
Explanation: There aren't a lot of babyface tag team options available at the moment to pick from. Indus Sher is heel, so are The Undisputed ERA and that's kind of it. Breezango hasn't been a tag team for a bit cause of Fandango's injury. So....yeah...
NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Current North American Champion: Keith Lee
Prediction for Next Champion: Karrion Kross
Explanation: Shot in the dark.
NXT CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Cruiserweight Champion: Jordan Devlin
Prediction for Next Champion: Kushida or Isaiah "Swerve" Scott
Explanation: Out of the people in the running to be the interim champion, these two make the most sense. However, an interim champion means any one of them (except Drake Maverick) could theoretically win and it might not even count in the record books. For the record, I'm ROOTING for Maverick, but I just don't think they'll give him the belt.
NXT UNITED KINGDOM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current United Kingdom Champion: WALTER
Prediction for Next Champion: Ilja Dragunov.
Explanation: I don't entirely have faith Dragunov will be the one to dethrone WALTER, but he's the best bet at the moment, at least.
NXT UNITED KINGDOM WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current United Kingdom Women's Champion: Kay Lee Ray
Prediction for Next Champion: Piper Niven
Explanation: Piper Niven is the only worthy challenger at the moment, but we don't even know when that will happen.
NXT UNITED KINGDOM TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current United Kingdom Tag Team Champions: Gallus
Prediction for Next Champions: Moustache Mountain
Explanation: It's not going to be Pretty Deadly or The Hunt, that's for sure.
