The Long Answer
The table found above has all the key information about how the various champions in WWE started their current reigns, but it lacks a lot of the context of how those championships came to be. Let’s spend some time getting to know each of the champions, how they won their respective championships, and who we think is most likely to defeat them for all the gold in the near future.
Undisputed WWE Championship
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes finally finished his story and captured the championship that had long eluded him when he ended Roman Reigns’ historic title run at WrestleMania XL in April 2024. Arguably the most ridiculous main event of all time, this star-studded affair had it all, but did leave some unfinished business between Rhodes and The Rock.
While Solo Sikoa, who took over the Bloodline in Reigins’ absence, has challenged Rhodes for the belt a couple of times now, it’s doubtful the “Tribal Chief” will defeat the American Nightmare. It still seems like The Rock or Reigns, who returned as a babyface, are the most likely candidates to dethrone the third-generation wrestler.
World Heavyweight Championship
In 2024, Gunther went from the “Ring General” to the King of the Ring to the World Heavyweight Champion. The leader of Imperium challenged Damian Priest, aka, El Camperon, and defeated the former Judgment Day leader when Finn Balor turned on his old friend at SummerSlam. But this isn’t to say the screwy finish made Gunther look bad, as the on-the-rise star looked spectacular in the high-profile match.
Gunther successfully defended the WHC at Bash in Berlin in late August 2024 in a convincing fashion against Randy Orton. It’s hard to say who’ll defeat the Austrian-born wrestler in the near future, but maybe someone like Bron Breakker could defeat him after a long and fruitful run.
Women's World Championship
Liv Morgan is holding down the Women’s World Championship after defeating Becky Lynch in the opening match at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE held in Saudi Arabia in May 2024. The two-time champion had been on a great run ever since returning from injury at the Royal Rumble and has been taking on Rhea Ripley ever since the former Judgment Day member returned from injury.
With Morgan and Ripley meeting at Bad Blood in October 2024, a match that will see Dominik Mysterio suspended above the ring in a shark cage, we could see the title change hands once again as Ripley gets her revenge. But with the feud still heating up, it’s doubtful Morgan will drop it just yet.
WWE Women's Championship
Nia Jax killed it in the Women’s Royal Rumble, won the Queen of the Ring tournament, and defeated Bayley to win the WWE Women’s Championship all in the course of a few months, which is one of the best runs we’ve seen all year.
It doesn’t seem likely WWE will take the belt of Jax for the time being, but it wouldn’t be all that surprising if Women’s Money in the Bank winner Tiffany Stratton cashes in and takes the strap from her shaky ally after a successful title defense in the future.
Intercontinental Championship
Less than a month after defeating Bron Breakker to claim the Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night Raw, Jey Uso found himself eating the pin for the on-the-rise star. Breakker, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner, has looked as dominant as ever, even after temporarily losing the IC Title.
Though there are countless contenders out there who could take out the former NXT mainstay, it would be great to see Breaker and Uso continue to feud over the prestigious title in the coming weeks and months, ultimately leading to Uso claiming the gold, for good this time.
United States Championship
To the surprise of no one, LA Knight defeated Logan Paul at SummerSlam in the Maverick’s own backyard of Cleveland, Ohio, and has looked like a million bucks ever since. Bringing back one of the best babyface tropes with the open challenge, Knight has successfully defended his red, white, and blue championship multiple times since his reign began, and he doesn’t look like he’s going to slow down anytime soon.
At some point, we’re going to see Logan Paul issue a challenge of his own and come back for his title, and having the controversial star defeat Knight makes sense, especially if it’s a few months from now and Knight is ready to enter main event status.
World Tag Team Championship
The Judgment Day is still the best stable in WWE despite its issues, and a lot of that is because of Finn Balor and JD McDonagh holding down the World Tag Team Championship. The pair of Irish wrestlers defeated Awesome Truth on a June 2024 episode of Monday Night Raw, and have looked like a million bucks since. And while Balor has been feuding with Damian Priest since the former turned on the latter at SummerSlam, the tag belts are still being elevated.
As great as it would be to see Priest and his fellow Terror Twin Rhea Ripley team up to take on their former stablemates, that probably won’t happen. Instead, it wouldn’t be surprising for the two to cost Balor and McDonagh against someone like Awesome Truth or even Alpha Academy.
WWE Tag Team Championship
The leaner, meaner, and more unhinged version of The Bloodline has treated SmackDown as its personal playground throughout much of 2024, and that includes a WWE Tag Team Championship for Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa (who took over for Jacob Fatu when he became Solo Sikoa’s enforcer). The stable took the belts off #DIY the night before SummerSlam 2024, and have been a wrecking crew ever since.
There’s no reason to take the belts off the team at this time, but when they do finally drop the straps, it wouldn’t be that surprising if a team consisting of Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes had the honor.
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
Scottish natives The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre and Isla) pulled off a seemingly impossible feat at Clash at the Castle: Scotland in June 2024 by capturing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship in a triple threat against defending champs Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill and the team of Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark. However, they lost the belts a few months later when the team of Belair and Cargill defeated them at Bash in Berlin.
I wouldn't be all that surprised if Belair & Cargill hold onto the titles until early next year, and hopefully, a loss leads to the two dominant superstars finally taking each other on in the ring, maybe even at WrestleMania 41.
WWE Speed Championship
Andrade became the second WWE Speed Champion in June 2024 when he defeated inaugural champ Ricochet in a quick yet exciting match that was available exclusively on X. The move made sense considering Ricochet was preparing to depart WWE for AEW once his contract expired shortly after the match took place..
I wouldn't be surprised if Johnny Gargano comes for the title at some point in the future, as he and Andrade have quite the history together.
WWE Women's Speed Championship
Candice LeRae became the inaugural WWE Women's Speed Champion in October 2024 when she defeated former WWE Women's Champion Iyo Sky in the tournament final.
Though there will certainly be another tournament to decide the number one contender for WWE's newest belt, it wouldn't be all that surprising if Sky were to win that and challenge LeRae somewhere down the road.
When these titles do change hands at some point in the future, you’ll be able to see it all go down with a Peacock subscription.
