Predicting the next set of champions in WWE

Ryback

Next Intercontinental Champion: Ryback

While I would love to see a Heyman guys stable, I don’t see it happening. Ryback saved Heyman at Night of Champions after Curtis Axel failed to do what he was supposed to. Ryback has been winning for weeks, while Curtis Axel is losing to Kofi Kingston. Ryback is a big star, Curtis Axel is an afterthought.

Paul Heyman will soon realize this, and over the next few weeks or months, we’ll see Paul Heyman begin to favour the bully-hating Ryback. Curtis Axel will begin to separate from Heyman, and Heyman will take it about as well as he took his break-up with Punk. The first match Axel goes out without Heyman by his side, Ryback will come on behalf of the almighty ‘Paulrus’ and destroy Axel.

This will lead to an Intercontinental Championship match between the two where Ryback will pick up his first ever championship in WWE. Curtis Axel will then go on to have a very unsuccessful face run. Nice knowin’ ya, Axel.

Next World Heavyweight Champion: Rob Van Dam

Del Rio has been in every World Heavyweight Championship match this year, whether it was as the champion or challenger. I think it’s time for him to leave.

While his feud with the recently returned RVD has been less than inspiring, it will still lead to Rob Van Dam holding the World Heavyweight Championship over his head. And no, don’t worry. You won’t have to see the continuation of the ADR/RVD saga that has been plaguing the last month or two.

Our Lord and Saviour Damien Sandow will cash-in on a vulnerable RVD shortly after this title win and will go on to feud with Cody Rhodes while RVD takes time off. ADR will probably feud with Rey Mysterio and his new ring announcer Ricardo until Rey hurts himself again (which means the feud will last one Smackdown).

Next WWE Champion: Triple H

Why would Triple H ever be WWE Champion again? Because its best for business! After Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton fight to a No Contest at Battleground, our wonderful COO will do what any COO would do: give himself the WWE Championship. We can’t have a company with no representative, can we?

The best part? Daniel Bryan won’t even get a shot at H’s title for Hell In A Cell. No, he’s too much of a B+ to face such an A++ player like Triple H. But unfortunately for this business, Daniel Bryan will get a shot at Triple H’s title at TLC by beating his team at Survivor Series. He will go on to make Triple H tap out at TLC and become a three time WWE Champion.
