Predicting The Next 10 WWE Champions

Who will reign supreme in the years to come?

Perhaps the only thing that's remained consistent about WWE over the years is just how unpredictable it is. The company is fond of saying that anything can happen in WWE, and they prove it frequently. Trying to guess which way the ship is going to steer is foolish - almost impossible. That won't stop me from trying, though! Still, the course of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is especially tricky to pinpoint. At times, the title has changed hands almost monthly, while over the past several years, that frequency has slowed down. Looking at the next ten champions means looking years into the future, and given how many talented grapplers are at the top of the card - and how many are poised to debut over the next year or so - there's no shortage of different directions the company can take. Sometimes, though, storylines write themselves. Some wrestlers can be pinpointed as future world champions, and some successful storylines are refashioned and presented as new. Anyone who's watched wrestling for long enough gets a feel for recognizing such things, and that makes the prediction game a bit easier. Here's a likely list of the next 10 WWE Champions. Remember, it's as good a guess as any!
