WWE Current Champions List & Future Champions Predictions

Who are the current champions in WWE?
Who do I think will beat them for the title?

current WWE world heavyweight champion title holder

UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Champion: Cody Rhodes

Prediction for Next Champion: Randy Orton?

Explanation: With everything about The Rock seemingly pushed aside indefinitely, I guess we have to look elsewhere for who beats Rhodes. I could see an argument for Randy Orton, as that would be a massive blow to The American Nightmare and really fuel that feud. I could also see this just being Drew McIntyre or maybe even John Cena.

current WWE Universal champion title holder

WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Universal Champion: Cody Rhodes

Prediction for Next Champion: n/a

Explanation: This is still being listed on WWE's title trackers. I'm assuming they'll just retire the title, but until they make any kind of official announcement, I'm keeping it on my page here to be as informative as possible. I don't think we're getting another champion for this belt.

WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Gunther

Prediction for Next Champion: John Cena, Seth Rollins, or CM Punk...

Explanation: At the VERY earliest, Gunther drops this belt at WrestleMania 41. I don't think that's even necessarily a guarantee, though, and I can't picture who he's going to be facing. John Cena? Brock Lesnar? The 1989 Denver Broncos?

current WWE Undisputed Women's champion title holder

WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Undisputed Women's Champion: Tiffany Stratton

Prediction for Next Champion: Charlotte Flair

Explanation: I'm assuming this is what we're getting at WrestleMania.

current WWE Women's world champion title holder

WWE WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Women's World Champion: Rhea Ripley

Prediction for Next Champion: Becky Lynch

Explanation: If Becky is set to return as a heel, she's likely the top challenger who could realistically beat Ripley. If Ripley is able to get past her, then I think we're looking at Bianca Belair or Jade Cargill.

current WWE Intercontinental champion title holder

WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Intercontinental Champion: Bron Breakker

Prediction for Next Champion: TBD

Explanation: Without knowing who is even going to stick on which roster during this "transfer window" thing, it's a crap shoot between a dozen or so names who could win this, from Damian Priest to Trick Williams to, well, anyone in that midcard or higher range.

current WWE Women's Intercontinental champion title holder

WWE WOMEN'S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion: Lyra Valkyria

Prediction for Next Champion: Sonya Deville or Kiana James

Explanation: This depends greatly on when and where Kiana James will return. I could see them giving her a push out of the gate, particularly if it's after Valkyria has had a run with the belt, and I can see Lyra beating Sonya as one of her primary first challengers. Just the same, though, I could see Sonya just being the one to beat Lyra, as I don't think we're ever going to see Deville holding one of the two top world titles in the women's division. Of course, the transfer window could throw this all out of sorts and this might go from Valkyria to someone like Lola Vice for all we know.

current WWE United States champion title holder

WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE United States Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura

Prediction for Next Champion: TBD

Explanation: I didn't expect Nakamura to win the title at all. Now, I have to reassess the roster for who is next, but I can't think of ANY babyfaces on SmackDown who could be in a good position for this. It won't be Apollo Crews, AJ Styles is injured, Andrade seems like a stretch, Randy Orton's too good for it right now, and everyone else is a tag team member or a heel. Maybe Jimmy Uso wins it?? That'd be odd.

current WWE Women's United States champion title holder

WWE WOMEN'S UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Women's United States Champion: Chelsea Green

Prediction for Next Champion: TBD

Explanation: As stated above, without knowing who is going to end up on which roster during this "transfer window" time frame, it's hard to tell. I'll update this soon.

current WWE World Tag Team champion title holder

WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Current World Tag Team Champions: War Raiders

Prediction for Next Champions: The New Day

Explanation: Sometime before WrestleMania, unless they win the belts AT that show itself

current WWE Tag Team champions title holder

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Tag Team Champions: #DIY

Prediction for Next Champions: The Street Profits?

Explanation: That heel turn for Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa wasn't something I saw coming. With pending trades between the rosters, it's hard to tell who will be in line for this, but the safest bet right now at this moment immediately following #DIY winning the titles is to say The Street Profits get their revenge and win them.

WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill/Naomi

Prediction for Next Champions: Pure Fusion Collective

Explanation: This depends on if they're going to defend the titles at WrestleMania 41, or drop them beforehand (around Royal Rumble time?) to then book Belair versus Cargill at Mania. If they drop them beforehand, I think we could see Pure Fusion Collective winning them. If it's at WrestleMania, it could be anyone, as it'll be some multi-team match, most likely.

WWE SPEED CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Speed Champions: Dragon Lee

Prediction for Next Champions: No idea

Explanation: This is an entirely different idea of a presentation and title than WWE has for other things, including even the Cruiserweight Championship that they had had. It's hard to tell how often they're going to change it up and who they'll prioritize. Want a random guess? Apollo Crews.

current WWE Speed Women's champion title holder

WWE SPEED WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Speed Women's Champions: Candice LeRae

Prediction for Next Champions: No idea

Explanation: Good on Candice. I'm glad she won something, even if it is the most meaningless belt since the 24/7 title. Since this is Speed, and nobody cares or watches this, the next champion can be literally anyone on the roster and it wouldn't be surprising. I'll toss out Michin's name since they want to push her, but not too far.

NXT CHAMPIONSHIP

Current NXT Champion: Oba Femi

Prediction for Next Champions: Someone not currently on the roster

Explanation: I could see Oba Femi keeping this for most of 2025, only to drop it to someone who hasn't yet been signed to NXT like Ricky Starks.

current WWE NXT Women's champion title holder

NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

Current NXT Women's Champion: Giulia

Prediction for Next Champion: Zaria

Explanation: Sometime in the summer?

current WWE North American champion title holder

NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Current North American Champion: Tony D'Angelo

Prediction for Next Champion: No idea

Explanation: No clue at the moment. Genuinely no idea. I don't think WWE does, either, as Tony D'Angelo has spent a good chunk of his time as champion (so far, at least) doing nothing.

NXT WOMEN'S NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Current Women's North American Champion: Fallon Henley

Prediction for Next Champion: Stephanie Vaquer

Explanation: Since Giulia won the NXT Women's Championship, I think this is what they do with Vaquer to compensate for that belt not being up for grabs.

current WWE NXT Tag Team champion title holder

NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

Current NXT Tag Team Champions: The Supersonic Duo (Axiom & Nathan Frazer)

Prediction for Next Champions: OTM

Explanation: WWE seems to be in reset mode, so there's no reason for me to think the tag titles don't change hands just the same as so many other belts have found new owners in the past month or so.
