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: The Rock

Explanation: First off, I'm so happy Cody Rhodes is champion. A lot of this depends on when The Rock will be back. I'm keeping an eye on Randy Orton, too, but I feel like we'll get Rhodes against Orton at WrestleMania, and Roman Reigns against The Rock for the title, with The Rock beating Cody at some point (Royal Rumble 2025?).

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: No idea

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: Nia Jax

Prediction for Next Champion: Tiffany Stratton or Charlotte Flair

Explanation: Either Charlotte Flair wins the title next and Tiffany Stratton at least temporarily takes it from her with a Money in the Bank cash-in, or Stratton beats Jax with her cash-in and that's a transition coming a few months after WrestleMania.

current WWE Women's world champion title holder

WWE WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Women's World Champion: Liv Morgan

Prediction for Next Champion: Rhea Ripley

Explanation: Survivor Series? I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.

current WWE Intercontinental champion title holder

WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Intercontinental Champion: Bron Breakker

Prediction for Next Champion: Damian Priest or Sheamus

current WWE Women's Intercontinental champion title holder

WWE WOMEN'S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Current WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion: n/a

Prediction for Next Champion: TBD

Explanation: Nothing has been announced for who is going to contend for this, how that'll go down, when it will happen, etc. I'll update this once we have some information.

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: 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: The Judgment Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh)

Prediction for Next Champions: War Raiders

Explanation: Seems like this could happen on the 12/16 Raw.

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

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.
