#5 NXT Women's Championship

The Queen of Spades going all the way?

Current Champion - Ember Moon

Champion after WrestleMania - Shayna Baszler

The feud between the NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon and Shayna Baszler has been a talking point which is set to culminate at NXT Takeover: New Orleans.

A rematch of the Takeover: Philadelphia fight, the upcoming match is sure to steal the show again.

Baszler has been remarkable in NXT, and she’s the champion the women’s division needs moving forward.

'The Queen of Spades' came up a little short in the Mae Young Classic tournament, and this is the perfect platform for Baszler to claim her position as the new NXT Women's Champion.

Ember Moon has been the face of Women's division since Asuka left for Monday Night Raw. 'The War Goddess' is a fan favorite, but there doesn’t seem to be much left to do with her

Superstars like Kairi Sane, Dakota Kai, and Candice Le Rae are in line to become the upcoming stars of NXT, and Moon should be on her way to the main roster pretty soon.

#4 RAW Tag-Team Championships

Does Braun even need a partner?
There is no clue about who would join Strowman as his partner

Current Champion - Sheamus and Cesaro

Champion after WrestleMania - Braun Strowman and his mystery partner

Who would have thought Braun Strowman could end up fighting for the Tag-Team Championships? He won the tag team battle royal single-handedly and became the No.1 contender for the titles.

The Bar's title reign has been impressive considering the fact there is no team on the roster they haven't beaten.

Strowman's entry into the tag division brings a fresh angle to the storyline, and WWE would not like to spoil his momentum by making him lose at the grandest stage.

There is no clue about who would join Strowman in his title endeavor. Whoever he may be, 'The Monster among Men' and his mystery partner are going all the way.

Sheamus and Cesaro have been tremendous as champions, but there is no messing with Strowman's rise to the top.

#3 RAW Women's Championship

A long overdue victory for Nia?
Jax could finally win her first title in WWE

Current Champion - Alexa Bliss

Champion after WrestleMania - Nia Jax

Friends turned foes, Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax are set to fight for the Raw Women's Championship.

A title match between the two has been building since Bliss first won the belt, and it will probably be a squash match.

Bliss has been a champion for a good part of the year, and it's time Nia Jax puts The Goddess in her place.

The legitimacy of her character has finally shined through, and I think the bullied goes over the bully.

The Irresistible Force deserves to win the match as she deserves a title run.

Jax has been unstoppable in her current run, and it will be great to see her finally winning her first title in WWE. She will be out for revenge, and the match should not last more than a few minutes.

#2 NXT Championship

Has the time come for Aleister Black?
Aleister Black has already defeated Almas in NXT

Current Champion - Andrade 'Cien' Almas

Champion after WrestleMania - Aleister Black

Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Aleister Black are set to have the match of their lives when they face each other in the main event of Takeover: New Orleans for the NXT Championship.

Almas has been a great champion, defending his title on multiple occasions against Johnny Gargano in phenomenal matches.

Black, on the other hand, is the upcoming star of NXT with only one defeat to his name. The two faced each before in Black's debut match in NXT where he came out on top.

Black deserves to win the NXT Championship this coming Sunday. He’s been unstoppable since his debut.

The fans love him, his in-ring work is always impressive, and his character work is top notch. As for 'El Idolo', he is ready for his main-roster debut, which we may see as early as on the Raw after WrestleMania.

#1 Universal Championship

Will we witness it this Sunday?
Lesnar will leave WWE if he loses to Reigns

Current Champion - Brock Lesnar

Champion after WrestleMania - Roman Reigns

The main event of the night will showcase the two powerhouses battling it out for the Universal Championship.

Brock Lesnar is set to defend his title against Roman Reigns in a highly anticipated battle.

WWE has been trying to build Reigns as the face of the company for quite a long time, and there's possibly no reason for him not winning the championship at the grandest stage.

Moreover, Lesnar is rumored to leave WWE for UFC after WrestleMania. The most coveted title of WWE will certainly look better in the hands of a young full-timer who has all the potential to be the next big thing in the business.
