The Road to WrestleMania is one full of twists and turns that sees changes happen at the drop of a dime. Championship gold will be up for grabs on episodes of Raw and SmackDown. The title picture will also become clear as the weeks go on and the superstars move on to the Show of Shows, looking for a high-profile encounter.
Mania has two nights once again this year in Dallas, Texas. This means WWE has to do their best to produce two quality cards that feature their top stars vying for gold and stakes on the line. The path to get to the destination will be tumultuous with all these superstars looking for a spot.
With six weeks to go before the Showcase of Immortals, the company will want to drive up the anticipation and excitement to make the shows leading up as suspenseful as possible. In this article, let's take a look at five titles that could change hands on the Road to WrestleMania.
5) Brock Lesnar could lose the WWE Title at MSG on the Road to WrestleMania
Brock Lesnar won the Elimination Chamber Match to regain the WWE Championship and set up a Winner Takes All Title vs. Title Match at WrestleMania 38. Most fans believed that it would be full speed ahead for WWE in pushing their main event, but Paul Heyman threw a wrench in this idea on the latest episode of Raw.
Heyman announced that Lesnar would defend the WWE Title on Saturday, March 5th at Madison Square Garden. The scheduled opponent is Bobby Lashley as of now. However, the former WWE Champion has been reported as needing shoulder surgery and will be out for four months.
Whoever is chosen as the replacement will have the toughest obstacle possible in dethroning the Beast Incarnate. There is a chance that WWE may change their minds and decide to give Raw back their top prize for their stars to vie over in a headline match at Mania.
4) Sami Zayn could drop the Intercontinental Championship before WrestleMania 38
Sami Zayn deserves a spot on the WrestleMania 38 card. He has been a revelation as a heel character and has shined in every role the company has given him since the pandemic. Zayn defeated Shinsuke Nakamura on the February 18th episode of SmackDown to become a three-time Intercontinental Champion.
However, WWE has never given Sami a lasting push. His reigns with the gold usually don't last long, nor do winning streaks. Although there have been reports that plans are for Zayn to face Johnny Knoxville at WrestleMania, it doesn't mean it has to be for the Intercontinental Championship. He could easily lose the gold on an episode of SmackDown at any turn.
3) Viking Raiders will look to claim the SmackDown Tag Team Titles from The Usos after Elimination Chamber
After Elimination Chamber 2022, many fans were upset that WWE didn't deliver on The Usos vs. Viking Raiders SmackDown Tag Team Championships Match. The company will eventually have to give the WWE Universe what they promised at the premium live event.
Jimmy and Jey could make ideal opponents for Erik and Ivar. The four men make up two of the very best tag teams in the company today. If they are given time and focus, The Usos and Viking Raiders could deliver a classic. After failing to have a match at the Chamber, we should expect them to have a contest on an episode of SmackDown coming up.
2) Damian Priest could drop the United States Championship to Finn Balor on the Road to WrestleMania
Damian Priest and the United States Championship have an uncertain Road to WrestleMania 38. The former NXT North American Champion has had an impressive first year on the WWE main roster. He has defeated a who's who of former World Champions and incredible in-ring workers during his six-month run.
Priest called out a World Champion caliber opponent, and none other than Finn Balor answered the call. Balor vs. Priest for the United States Championship will go down on next week's Raw and may lead to a title change. However, there are other potential challengers as well. Damian Priest may walk into Mania as the challenger instead of the Champion.
1) Alpha Academy will have their Raw Tag Team Titles in real jeopardy in a Triple Threat Match against RK-Bro & the team of Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens
Alpha Academy definitely has the toughest hurdle to overcome ahead of the Showcase of Immortals. Chad Gable and Otis will defend the Raw Tag Team Titles in two weeks against former Champions RK-Bro and the tag team of Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. Randy Orton and Riddle earned the opportunity by winning an Academic Decathlon against Alpha Academy.
Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens earned this shot by defeating RK-Bro twice. With two challenging tag teams, the Road to WrestleMania is looking unsure for Alpha Academy. They will have to put in their best effort yet to retain their gold, but it will not be easy at all. That's why the Raw Tag Team Championships is the title that could change hands on the Road to WrestleMania.
