Predicting WWE's 10 Champions At The End Of 2018

2. WWE Championship - Seth Rollins

The presumed draft will see big names switch brands, and one or two of RAW’s top babyfaces will likely move over to SmackDown to provide the blue show with some much needed star power. Seth Rollins was the number one pick in the draft of summer 2016, and he is just the man to give the Tuesday night brand the boost it needs.

Moving Rollins to SmackDown will also get him away from Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, who absolutely should feud over the WWE Universal Championship when the latter returns from injury. The Shield reunion has clearly been cursed, and there is little point in hanging on to it. Rollins should move to SmackDown, and everyone should breathe in the process.

AJ Styles would be a prime candidate to move over to RAW, but I would advocate keeping the current WWE Champion on Tuesday nights. A SmackDown main event scene featuring AJ, Rollins, Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn sounds a lot healthier than the 2017 version, which was strangled to within an inch of its life by Jinder Mahal. Rollins is a league above the Modern Day Maharaja, and will end the year with the famous title back over his shoulder.
