5 Titles that could certainly change hands before WrestleMania 36 comes around

Will Rollins and Murphy end up losing their prized titles?

There were no title changes at the Royal Rumble and as exciting as the two Royal Rumble matches were, this was one of the few drawbacks from the said event, in my personal opinion. A change in titles is bound to change the landscape of the company, and honestly, I can see a few titles change hands on the road to WrestleMania.

I mean it's almost a certainty that Brock Lesnar will carry the WWE Championship all the way to his big match with Drew McIntyre. For him to drop the title ahead of the mega event does not make any sense at all, really.

But the other Champions in the roster are not nearly as bulletproof and honestly, I can see a change of guard or two on the road to WrestleMania. And therefore, in no particular order, let me list down 5 titles that I believe could change hands.

As always, if you disagree with my opinion, feel free to say so.


#5 Andrade loses the United States Championship

This is one of those scenarios that I hope does not happen, but one can only keep his fingers crossed and hope for the best. Andrade has been suspended for violating the wellness policy and while it's a good sign that the United States Championship hasn't been taken from him, I do believe that he may end up dropping the title to someone worthy once he returns. It could certainly be Humberto Carillo who ends up capturing the belt but it will more likely be someone like Aleister Black.

Andrade is destined for greatness and you can check out his reaction to Ric Flair's praise in the video linked above. Sportskeeda's own Gary Cassidy conducted the interview with him at a recent BT Sport event in the UK.

#4 Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy lose the RAW Tag Team Championships

I know how disrespectful this sounds, but I am paid to speak the truth and speak the truth I shall. Seth Rollins is too valuable a commodity to be used in the tag team division, considering that he's probably the biggest heel in the wrestling business, at the moment.

I think that his alliance with Buddy Murphy is a temporary one and by the time that WrestleMania comes around, the two men will be at odds so that they can work against one another to steal the show when the bell rings in front of many thousand fans. I don't know whom they may lose the titles to, but The Street Profits could certainly benefit from working with Buddy Murphy and Seth Rollins, in my personal opinion.

Or maybe The Authors of Pain will be upset that they didn't get a shot at the titles and Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy did. I can certainly see them claim the titles at some point down the line.

#3 The Kabuki Warriors lose the Women's Tag Team Championships

Sportskeeda's very own ace reporter Gary Cassidy recently caught up with the lovely Paige at a BT Sport event in the United Kingdom and you can check out his interview with her in the link above. Paige was, of course, the manager for The Kabuki Warriors until she got sprayed with the green mist by Asuka not long ago.

As awesome as Asuka and Kairi Sane are, the Women's Tag Team Championships haven't seemed relevent at all since they have been introduced. In fact, one may argue that the closest that they've been to relevancy was back when Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross were women's Tag Team Champions.

It may be time to put the titles on them once again, especially if you consider that those two lovely and talented Superstars aren't doing too much at all, at this point. Yes, Asuka and Kairi Sane may have to move to SmackDown for this, but that is not such a big decision.

Asuka is no longer in a feud with Becky Lynch and so this move can certainly happen.

#2 Bayley loses the SmackDown Women's Championship

I don't know if Bayley will lose the SmackDown Women's Champion to Naomi, but I wouldn't be surprised if she were to drop the title. Bayley has been the Champion for a considerable amount of time, and because it's impossible to imagine either Becky Lynch, Bray Wyatt or Brock Lesnar dropping their titles before WrestleMania, one assumes that Bayley will lose her prestigious Championship. And this is because it could lead to a very interesting scenario, in my opinion.

As things stand at the moment, Bayley and Sasha Banks are on the same page, allied as 'best friends' and 'role models'. But we all know that the money is in them feuding against one another, considering that they created magic back when they worked each other, taking the women's evolution to the next level. So, if Naomi were to win the title or even Sasha Banks does at the Elimination Chamber, it could lead to some very exciting possibilities.

Bayley losing the SmackDown Women's Championship may make the product very interesting, in my opinion.

#1 The New Day lose the SmackDown Tag Team Championships

John Morrison reinvented himself outside WWE and whether you're a fan of his from his Lucha Underground run or his stint as Johnny Impact in Impact Wrestling, one has to admit that he's a very different star from the man who dominated WWE all those years back. And so is The Miz, who's risen the ranks and become a veteran in the locker room (which is ironic because everyone assumed that he wouldn't last for very long in WWE).

And even though The New Day is incredibly popular and Vince McMahon can call upon them at any time to put on a great show, the fact of the matter is that Big E and Kofi Kingston can always win back the titles down the line. It's time for The Miz and John Morrison to become SmackDown Tag Team Champions and rule the division for a while until Heavy Machinery or someone else unseats them.

So yes, expect a title change in Saudi Arabia. Even if it's a short-lived reign.
