Every Current Champion In WWE (And Who Should Beat Them)
Exactly who needs to win WWE's biggest belts on Raw, SmackDown and NXT next?
Important note: Neither of WWE's Speed Titles will be included here, because it looks like the company is set to move on from that concept. Both Sol Ruca and Chad Gable's El Grande Americano offshoot could be the final Speed Champs ever. Similarly, the WWE Evolve and ID Titles aren't listed. They're peripheral, but are also unlinked to the main WWE product.
Take those belts out of the equation and there are no less than 16 new champions to thrash out. Obviously, top belts like the WWE Title, World Heavyweight Championship, WWE Women's Title and Women's World Championship take centre stage higher up. They're ably backed by standards like both sets of men's tag straps, and both the Intercontinental and United States prizes.
Then, things get slightly less impressive with the occasionally crap/occasionally fun Women's Tag-Team Titles, the brand new Women's IC gold and the new Women's US strap. After that, it's off to NXT for some merriment - the developmental brand currently boasts 5 titles worth talking about.
Crowning fresh champs across Raw, SmackDown and NXT will be one of Triple H's chief concerns heading into the final quarter of 2025. It may seem odd to think about now, but 2026's Royal Rumble-WrestleMania excitement really isn't all that far away. It's a hop, skip and a jump until WWE hits Las Vegas again, which is crazy.
So, 16 different belts or sets of titles and a whole host of new champions to determine. Here's who needs to beat who and hold what next!

16. NXT Women’s North American Title
Champion: Sol Ruca
Who Should Beat Her: Blake Monroe
Sol Ruca has come a long, long way since playing a Cinnamon Toast Crunch mascot at WrestleMania 39. Heading into the annual supershow weekender in 2026, NXT's Sol can perhaps count herself unlucky if she's not part of the main Raw or SmackDown rosters by then. She's shown real promise, as evidenced by her reign as NXT Women's North American Champion.
Ruca won the belt in a multi-woman ladder match at Stand & Deliver in April after previous champ Stephanie Vaquer vacated the the thing due to also holding the main NXT Women's Title. Since winning it, Sol has defended against the likes of Kelani Jordan, Nikkita Lyons and Izzi Dame, but it's another head-turning star who gets the nod to supplant her here.
Ex-AEW star Mariah May has definitely been carving out some attention for herself since debuting on NXT as Blake Monroe in June. It really didn't take long for Shawn Michaels and his writers to understand that Blake is best when she's playing an elitist (ahem) heel who looks down on everyone else around her. It's standard pro wrestling villain 101 stuff, but Monroe is really good at it.
Putting some gold around her waist and building up towards the top NXT Women's Title eventually would be the way to go. Ideally, this title switch would coincide with Ruca heading up to the main roster, and that won't be the last time you read something like that in this article. After all, that's precisely what NXT is for.
From cereal mascot to eventual Women's Champ or Women's World Champ? Don't rule it out for Sol.
