Who are the current champions in WWE and who do I think will beat them?
WWE CHAMPION
Current: AJ Styles
Next: Samoa Joe
Explanation: Super Show-Down, or Joe just doesn't win the title and Styles drops it to The Miz, Randy Orton or Daniel Bryan
WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPION
Current: Roman Reigns
Next: No idea
Explanation: Well, WWE messed this up by turning Braun Strowman heel. I'm assuming Reigns keeps the title into WrestleMania and I have no idea who he'd lose it to if he doesn't drop it to Strowman, which I don't think will happen.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION
Current: Seth Rollins
Next: Drew McIntyre or Dean Ambrose
Explanation: Either McIntyre wins the title and they didn't want to pull the trigger on him turning on Ziggler, so that's why the belt went back to Rollins, or we have the split between Rollins/Ambrose with The Lunatic Fringe taking it along the road to WrestleMania 35.
UNITED STATES CHAMPION
Current: Shinsuke Nakamura
Next: Rusev
Explanation: No idea. I don't think WWE has a clue, either.
CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION
Current: Cedric Alexander
Next: Lio Rush
Explanation: Nobody looks like they're being built to be a challenger for Alexander more than Rush.
RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPION
Current: Ronda Rousey
Next: Charlotte Flair
Explanation: WrestleMania.
SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPION
Current: Becky Lynch
Next: TBA
Explanation: I'll update this somewhat soon after Hell in a Cell
RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current: Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler
Next: The Revival or The Shield
Explanation: I guess The Revival turn babyface and beat them, or they still have no faith in Dash/Dawson and go with Ambrose/Rollins instead, or there's some other plan that I'm unaware of right now.
SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current: The New Day
Next: SAnitY
Explanation: If not them, who else?
NXT CHAMPION
Current: Tommaso Ciampa
Next: EC3 or Johnny Gargano
Explanation: I wonder if the Triple Threat match changed the plans to put the belt on Gargano at WarGames, or if that wasn't necessarily the plan to begin with. I don't think Aleister Black gets the title back from Ciampa, but it also kind of seems like Gargano vs. Ciampa MIGHT be over and done with, so that leaves me with EC3 as the only other option that I can imagine taking the title down the line. He's the next highest up babyface, unless they turn Velveteen Dream.
NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION
Current: Kairi Sane
Next: Bianca Belair
Explanation: I did not see Sane beating Baszler coming at all, so now, I'm jumping ahead to my predictions that I didn't think I'd get to for months and months. I was expecting Baszler to drop it to LeRae, who would drop it to Belair, who would drop it to Sane. I guess not, so let's go with a bit of a reversal!
NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current: The Undisputed Era
Next: War Raiders
Explanation: Okay, so I changed this all the other day for no reason. Neat. Got the prediction of it going back to Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly correct, though, so yay for me. Let's resume where we left off before, with War Raiders being the ones to dethrone The Undisputed Era.
NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION
Current: Ricochet
Next: Lars Sullivan
Explanation: I don't think Lars Sullivan is close to being called up to the main roster, nor do I think he's necessarily going to win the NXT Championship itself super soon. Instead, I can see them putting this belt on him in a story of how he's so much stronger than Ricochet can overcome.
UNITED KINGDOM CHAMPION
Current: Pete Dunne
Next: n/a
Explanation: I don't have the slightest idea.
UNITED KINGDOM WOMEN'S CHAMPION
Current: Rhea Ripley
Next: Toni Storm
Explanation: I'm expecting Io Shirai to win the Mae Young Classic and for Toni Storm to be the big babyface of the NXT UK scene, as it seems like Rhea Ripley is pretty much a heel. She's the next logical progression, unless they want to save her for something else down the line and go with a different babyface like Dakota Kai, then another heel, then Toni Storm.
UNITED KINGDOM TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current: n/a
Next: Moustache Mountain or The Coffey Brothers
Explanation: It pretty much has to be one of these two teams, right?
