Who are the current champions in World Wrestling Entertainment? Who do I think will beat them for the title to become the next to hold the belt?

Here is a list of all the WWE Superstars and associated wrestlers for Raw, SmackDown, NXT, EVOLVE, AAA and more who are holding a title right now and some predictions for who may dethrone them to become the next champion.

current WWE champion title holders and future champion predictions

Raw & SmackDown Titles (Main Roster)

UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPIONSHIP

current Undisputed WWE champion title holder

Current champion

Sami Zayn

Won: September 11, 2026 on SmackDown

Next champion prediction

Cody Rhodes

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: I'm still expecting CM Punk versus Cody Rhodes to be the WrestleMania plan, and their recent tease on SmackDown only made me lean further in that direction. That makes Cody my pick to eventually take the title from Sami Zayn, though Punk winning it back first is still possible. Bron Breakker is another option somewhere down the line, but I don't see him being the one to take it directly from Zayn.

WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Current champion

Roman Reigns

Won: April 19, 2026 at WrestleMania 42 - Sunday

Next champion prediction

Oba Femi or Bron Breakker

Prediction confidence: High

Explanation: The logical pick right now is that King of the Ring Oba Femi wins the title. I have my suspicions that won't happen, though. It could just be that simple, but WWE so often does some weird roundabout nonsense b.s. instead of going with the "just put the belt on the guy" method. Essentially, I wouldn't be shocked if they messed this up and turned this into a "build him up so Roman looks strong" scenario ☝️.

WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE Women's champion title holder

Current champion

Chelsea Green

Won: August 2, 2026 at SummerSlam Sunday

Next champion prediction

Tiffany Stratton

Prediction confidence: High

Explanation: With Chelsea Green as champion and her friendship with Tiffany Stratton setting up the potential for WWE to do exactly the same thing as they did the last time with Stratton and Nia Jax. I hope that isn't the case, as I not only don't want to see those two feud with each other (as I think they'd be better off in the tag team division as partners, and I don't think the rivalry would be particularly enthralling, nor would the matches be great), but I just don't care to see Tiffany holding the belt again in general. However, just because I don't want that to happen doesn't mean that isn't what WWE wants, and I think this is exactly what they plan on doing.

WWE WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE Women's world champion title holder

Current champion

Liv Morgan

Won: October 10, 2026 at WWE Money in the Bank

Next champion prediction

Rhea Ripley or Becky Lynch

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: Liv Morgan regained the title from Stephanie Vaquer at Money in the Bank in a Triple Threat Match also involving Becky Lynch. I'm still leaning toward Becky as the person who eventually takes the title from Liv, but this remains a low-confidence prediction. Maybe Rhea Ripley comes back and they put her on Raw and they end up having her win that belt and set up something with those three, or they do Ripley against Vaquer for WrestleMania or something while Morgan ends up splitting with Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez and those three fight each other for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, while Becky Lynch does.......I have no idea....

MEN'S WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE Intercontinental champion title holder

Current champion

Chad Gable

Won: August 2, 2026 at WWE SummerSlam Sunday

Next champion prediction

Ethan Page

Prediction confidence: High

Explanation: I can't imagine a better person to hold the belt next than Ethan Page, can you?

WWE WOMEN'S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE Women's Intercontinental champion title holder

Current champion

Raquel Rodriguez

Won: July 27, 2026 on WWE Monday Night Raw

Next champion prediction

Roxanne Perez

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: I'm going to keep pitching Perez wins this belt and fights AJ Lee at some point until it happens. Manifest!

MEN'S WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE United States champion title holder

Current champion

Trick Williams

Won: September 6, 2026 at Sunday Night's Main Event

Next champion prediction

Damian Priest

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: Unless the plan is to demote Gunther to the US title level, I don't have a clue who is next in line for Trick Williams to drop this belt to. SmackDown doesn't really have a lot of options in the midcard scene. Damian Priest is kind of the default choice right now, I guess. I wish I could say Johnny Gargano would win this, but they seem fixated on making him a jobber.

WWE WOMEN'S UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE Women's United States champion title holder

Current champion

Jacy Jayne

Won: August 14, 2026 on SmackDown

Next champion prediction

Charlotte Flair

Prediction confidence: Low

Explanation: This could go to a number of people, but I don't feel super confident in any of them. Tiffany Stratton, Giulia, and so forth are in the running. But I'll go with Flair on a whim.

WWE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE World Tag Team champions title holders

Current champions

The Vision

Won: July 6, 2026 at Raw

Next champion prediction

OTM (Lucien Price & Bronco Nima) or The Usos (Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso)

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: OTM could be going for these belts after they feud with The Usos, or The Usos could move on to feud with The Vision after that 946 feud. It's hard to tell.

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE Tag Team champions title holders

Current champions

The MFTs (Talla Tonga & Tama Tonga)

Won: August 14, 2026 on SmackDown

Next champion prediction

Shinsuke Nakamura and Kyoki

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: Why not? Who else would it be? There's no division for the most part.

WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE Women's Tag Team champions title holders

Current champions

The Baddies (B-Fab & Michin)

Won: October 23, 2026 on SmackDown

Next champion prediction

Iron Built (Ivy Nile & Jordynne Grace)

Prediction confidence: Low

Explanation: Iron Built is a rumored tag team that hasn't even debuted yet, so I can't have much confidence in this prediction. It's hard enough to believe WWE will let Jordynne Grace win anything, especially if she's paired with Ivy Nile, who has been relegated to enhancement talent status forever. But this division is such a crapshoot that I might as well put their names on here for funzies anyway and keep hoping WWE wakes up and decides to push Grace instead of wasting her.

NXT / EVOLVE / ID Titles (Developmental)

WWE NXT CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE NXT champion title holder

Current champion

Grayson Waller

Won: August 30, 2026 at NXT Heatwave

Next champion prediction

Cruz Montana

Prediction confidence: High

Explanation: Mason Rook may be the next challenger, but I don't think he's the one taking the title from Grayson Waller. Cruz Montana still feels like the strongest long-term pick to me. Keanu Carver and Zilla Fatu were other possibilities, but Carver royally messed that up and got himself fired, and Zilla seems to be in a different spot right now. He could still come back around to winning it, though.

WWE NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE NXT Women's champion title holder

Current champion

Kelani Jordan

Won: August 30, 2026 at NXT Heatwave

Next champion prediction

Kendal Grey

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: Who are the top babyfaces in the women's division?

WWE NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE North American champion title holder

Current champion

Jackson Drake

Won: August 30, 2026 at NXT Heatwave

Next champion prediction

Shiloh Hill

Prediction confidence: Not predicting

Explanation: A lot of people could be in the running for this. Mason Rook comes to mind, along with EK Prosper, Saquon Shugars, Elio LeFleur when he returns, etc.

WWE NXT WOMEN'S NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE NXT Women's North American champion title holder

Current champion

Zaria

Won: June 9, 2026 at NXT
Unified with WWE Women's Speed Championship: August 30, 2026 at NXT Heatwave

Next champion prediction

Jaida Parker

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: I'm hoping Zaria has a rather long title reign, so by the time she's about to drop it, there could be all sorts of new women added to the roster. Some people to watch out for would be Lizzy Rain, Myka Lockwood (if Zaria were to turn face), Kali Armstrong, and maybe Izzi Dame, but I'll bank on it being Jaida Parker.

WWE NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE NXT Tag Team champions title holders

Current champions

Swipe Right of The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes)

Won: August 30, 2026 at NXT Heatwave

Next champion prediction

Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno

Prediction confidence: Low

Explanation: Shot in the dark.

MEN'S WWE EVOLVE CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE EVOLVE champion title holder

Current champion

Harlem Lewis

Won: July 15, 2026 on WWE EVOLVE

Next champion prediction

Harley Riggins

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: Harley Riggins has been getting a lot of attention lately, so I'm going to make him my pick to be the next EVOLVE champion. There are still plenty of other possibilities, but Riggins feels like the strongest prediction right now.

WOMEN'S WWE EVOLVE CHAMPIONSHIP

current WWE EVOLVE Women's champion title holder

Current champion

Nikkita Lyons

Won: June 24, 2026 at EVOLVE: Succession III

Next champion prediction

Layla Diggs

Prediction confidence: Low

Explanation: I could see a scenario where Diggs moves on to NXT before she gets this belt, or maybe they give the title to someone who moves down from NXT more so like Wren Sinclair or Thea Hail. There's no telling which other women end up on this brand in the meantime, too.

MEN'S WWE ID CHAMPIONSHIP

Current champion

Max Abrams

Won: June 26, 2026 at Nightmare Factory: The ID Showcase

Next champion prediction

n/a

Prediction confidence: Not predicting

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 champion

Monica Monroe

Won: October 3, 2026 at Reality of Wrestling: Rise to Wrestling Royalty

Next champion prediction

n/a

Prediction confidence: Not predicting

Explanation: There's no use in predicting it, to be honest, just the same as the men's.

WWE / AAA Championships

Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide championships currently tracked under the WWE title scene.

AAA MEGA CHAMPIONSHIP

current AAA Mega champion title holder

Current champion

El Grande Americano

Won: September 13, 2026 at AAA Triplemania 34 - Night 2

Next champion prediction

Omos

Prediction confidence: Medium

Explanation: Shot in the dark, though I do think El Hijo del Vikingo could potentially beat El Grande Americano once he's no longer injured, or they could build up El Carnicero enough to get to that point.

AAA REINA DE REINAS CHAMPIONSHIP

Current champion

La Catalina

Won: September 13, 2026 at AAA Triplemania 34 - Night 2

Next champion prediction

Raquel Rodriguez

Prediction confidence: Low

Explanation: I'm taking a shot in the dark that whenever Judgment Day finally breaks up, Raquel Rodriguez could do a stint in AAA and end up being the one to beat La Catalina for the title.

AAA WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Current champion

Rey Fenix

Won: May 30, 2026 at Noche de Los Grandes

Next champion prediction

Jack Cartwheel

Prediction confidence: Low

Explanation: I'm sticking with Jack Cartwheel as a low-confidence pick. Dragon Lee could also be next in line if WWE considers him a cruiserweight, as they do seem to like Lee a lot and could easily put him into this title picture.

AAA LATIN AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Current champion

La Parka

Won: August 30, 2026 at AAA Ola de Calor

Next champion prediction

El Fiscal

Prediction confidence: Not predicting

Explanation: I don't know.

AAA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Current champions

El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. & Galeno del Mal

Won: September 13, 2026 at AAA Triplemania 34 - Night 2

Next champion prediction

Pagano and El Carnicero

Prediction confidence: Low

Explanation: They're a tag team with an unstoppable monster type character. I can see them heading in this direction.

AAA WORLD MIXED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Current champions

La Hiedra & Laredo Kid

Won: July 25, 2026 at AAA Verano de Escandalo

Next champion prediction

I have legitimately no idea.

Prediction confidence: Not predicting

Explanation: This could be practically any woman and man combination of people in AAA, NXT, EVOLVE, WWE, etc. There's no real "division" to speak of, so it's totally random. For all we know, this could be Omos paired with Sarah Schreiber.

AAA WORLD TRIOS CHAMPIONSHIP

Current champions

Los Perros del Mal (Daga, Angel & Berto)

Won: September 11, 2026 at AAA Triplemania 34 - Night 1

Next champion prediction

I have no idea.

Prediction confidence: Low

Explanation: I legitimately have no clue.
