With WWE heading towards the end of the year, we will soon see the company gear towards the Royal Rumble and the Road to WrestleMania 43.

There are currently six months to go before WrestleMania, with the championships recently seeing some new holders crowned, though there could be even more changes coming soon.

Here is our predicted next holder of every current WWE main roster championship.

Undisputed WWE Championship – Randy Orton

There are currently a number of top stars chasing the WWE Championship, including CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Finn Balor and Gunther.

One other name that has his eyes on the title is Randy Orton, who will likely chase the title once he is finished with Cody Rhodes.

After Sami faces Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel, he should be looking over his shoulder for the Viper.

World Heavyweight Championship – Oba Femi

The entire year has been building towards Roman Reigns vs. Oba Femi, with the two of them avoiding each other on Raw ever since Roman became champion.

The match was seemingly initially planned for SummerSlam, but now it seems a lock for WrestleMania next year.

WWE Women’s Championship – Tiffany Stratton

WWE's Tiffany Stratton

Tiffany Stratton held the WWE Women’s Championship for 302 days in 2025.

With Rhea Ripley likely to chase her WWE Women’s Championship following her return, WWE will probably opt to have a heel take the title off Chelsea Green before then to avoid the face vs. face clash.

The way the current storyline is going, that will likely be Tiffany Stratton after turning on Chelsea.

Women’s World Championship – Liv Morgan

Stephanie Vaquer dethroned Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship at the recent live event in Chile to create an incredible moment for her in her home country.

However, WWE is still seemingly moving forward with Judgment Day plans, so Liv will likely win the title back from her shortly.

Intercontinental Championship – Dragon Lee

On Raw in Mexico City, Dragon Lee had one of his best performances since he signed with WWE when he came up short against Chad Gable.

Dragon Lee has finally begun to catch on even with casual WWE fans, and crowning him Intercontinental Champion would be a great moment.

United States Championship – Damian Priest

The United States Championship picture is now open following the end of Trick Williams and Baron Corbin’s rivalry on SmackDown.

After just turning heel on Truth, Priest will look to become a singles champion once again.

Women’s Intercontinental Championship – Lola Vice

Making her Raw debut just two weeks ago, Lola Vice already holds a pinfall win over Women’s Intercontinental Champion Raquel Rodriguez.

Lola is likely not winning Money In The Bank, so giving her the Intercontinental Title would be a nice nod.

Women’s United States Championship – Charlotte Flair

A 14-time WWE Champion, Charlotte Flair has barely featured in the world title picture since she lost to Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41.

Charlotte winning the United States Championship would be the best thing for that title short of Jacy Jayne having a run with it similar to Penta’s Intercontinental Championship run.

World Tag Team Championship – The Usos

The Vision are the current champions in case you forgot.

WWE may want the titles involved in the ongoing Bloodline vs. 946 war, and for OTM to get the titles a babyface team should win them.

WWE Tag Team Championship – Bakusai

Shinsuke Nakamura and Kyoki have arrived in the SmackDown tag team division, and they definitely have the potential to be a great team to build the entire division around.

They are currently at war with the MFTs, and will likely get a run with the gold soon.

Women’s Tag Team Championship – Alexa Bliss & Tatum Paxley

With Charlotte potentially looking to become United States Champion, that leaves her other allies Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley.

With the trio locking horns with Fatal Influence, all three of them could hold gold soon just like Fatal Influence.
