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: Kofi Kingston
Prediction for Next Champion: No idea.
Explanation: Randy Orton?
WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Universal Champion: Brock Lesnar
Prediction for Next Champion: Roman Reigns
Explanation: WrestleMania 36. Let's just do the same match for the 150th time and hope it works THIS time. Awful. I hate Brock Lesnar as champion.
RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Raw Women's Champion: Becky Lynch
Prediction for Next Champion: No idea.
Explanation: I legitimately have no guesses. Sasha Banks? Shayna Baszler? I don't feel confident in any answer.
SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current SmackDown Women's Champion: Bayley
Prediction for Next Champion: Sasha Banks
Explanation: Unless Sasha Banks goes to SmackDown somehow, I think Charlotte Flair is the top threat. She's always at least hovering, right?
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Intercontinental Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura
Prediction for Next Champion: Aleister Black
Explanation: Ali could win it. Kevin Owens could win it. Hell, even Randy Orton can win it. But I think Aleister Black stands the best chance right now.
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
Current United States Champion: AJ Styles
Prediction for Next Champion: Rey Mysterio or Braun Strowman
Explanation: Either this leads to a Styles/Mysterio feud and Rey gets the belt back and this is just a convoluted pretzel of a title reign switch back and forth all over the place, or someone like Strowman wins the belt down the line because they don't have a universal champion to have him fight. Maybe The Miz has a shot, too, but I'll go with Mysterio or Strowman over The Miz.
RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current Raw Tag Team Champions: The Revival
Prediction for Next Champions: The Good Brothers
Explanation: Shot in the dark. I don't know. I think the Wild Card rule has thrown everything for a loop and they don't have a game plan.
SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current SmackDown Tag Team Champions: The New Day
Prediction for Next Champions: I don't think WWE knows.
Explanation: I'm imagining that WWE doesn't have any clue what to do with these belts for the long term and even though AOP could win them or something, there probably isn't any actual game plan in mind.
WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current Women's Tag Team Champions: The IIconics
Prediction for Next Champions: The Kabuki Warriors
Explanation: Hell of a run for The IIconics, right? They've had the titles and done nothing with them while WWE got distracted with the Wild Card Rule.
CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Cruiserweight Champion: Drew Gulak
Prediction for Next Champion: Chad Gable or Oney Lorcan
Explanation: There's a chance some new blood gets injected into this division, and if that's the case, I don't know who from NXT or the main roster will move around. However, Chad Gable wrestled on 205 Live, so they might want to put him in that position, and he'd be a great champion if that were the case. If not him, I have to think Oney Lorcan is probably the next best pick in line.
24/7 CHAMPIONSHIP
Current Cruiserweight Champion: R-Truth
Prediction for Next Champion: (Drake Maverick?)
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.
NXT CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Champion: Adam Cole
Prediction for Next Champions: Matt Riddle
Explanation: There's always a chance Johnny Gargano wins this, or even Tommaso Ciampa (if he gets cleared to compete in time), but I think I'll be going with Matt Riddle as my next pick, as they have to give him some sort of belt somewhere down the line, right?
NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current NXT Women's Champion: Shayna Baszler
Prediction for Next Champion: Candice LeRae
Explanation: Belair lost twice. Shirai had her shot and came up short, too. Meanwhile, LeRae is getting a push again, so maybe she's the next in line for something like Toronto or WarGames?
NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current NXT Tag Team Champions: The Street Profits
Prediction for Next Champions: The Undisputed ERA
Explanation: It's either The Undisputed ERA or The Forgotten Sons, and I just want to lean more toward the former until given a reason to believe otherwise.
NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Current North American Champion: Velveteen Dream
Prediction for Next Champion: Roderick Strong
Explanation: Shot in the dark from a while back and I still haven't seen much to change my mind.
UNITED KINGDOM CHAMPIONSHIP
Current United Kingdom Champion: WALTER
Prediction for Next Champion: Ilja Dragunov
Explanation: I have no idea.
NXT UNITED KINGDOM WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
Current United Kingdom Women's Champion: Toni Storm
Prediction for Next Champion: Jazzy Gabert
Explanation: Toni Storm is too beloved to lose it to someone like Nina Samuels. She needs to lose it to someone physically bigger, similar to the Pete Dunne and WALTER situation.
NXT UNITED KINGDOM TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS
Current United Kingdom Tag Team Champions: Grizzled Young Veterans
Prediction for Next Champions: Moustache Mountain
Explanation: I'm expecting GYV to beat Amir Jordan and Kenny Williams, as well as Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews, and The Hunt before making their way back around to Trent Seven and Tyler Bate, who they'll lose it to.
