While many fans believe that there can never be too many championships in a wrestling promotion, WWE usually maintains its tally at seven major titles.
Late last year and this year, however, they announced the new Women’s Tag Team Championships and also the 24/7 Championship which have been added to the treasure chest of the company.
This has increased the stakes in the company, and now there are even more superstars involved in the quest to win the gold on offer. This means that there are more chances of titles changing hands on televised shows and pay-per-views than before.
Keeping that in mind, we have compiled a list of three current champions whose reigns are in danger of being put to an end in June, especially with the Super ShowDown and Stomping Grounds scheduled for the month.
#3 R-Truth
A few weeks ago, Hardcore legend Mick Foley made his way to the ring to announce the new WWE 24/7 Championship. The championship will be defended across all of WWE's brands, including Raw, SmackDown, 205 Live, NXT, and NXT UK.
The championship is contested under stipulations similar to the previous WWE Hardcore Championship, which at one time had a "24/7 rule". The 24/7 Championship can be defended anytime, anywhere, as long as a referee is present.
R-Truth managed to win the championship after two other superstars on the first night and has managed to lose and retain it moments later on several occasions.
While it does not feature in the top championships of WWE, the new title will need some time to stabilize and for Creative to find the right purpose for it.
It’s evident that R-Truth has been handed the title as he can provide a lot of comic relief and make sure that the title stays in the public eye. With that said, Truth will most probably lose the title for good in the coming weeks, and WWE will hand it to an up-and-coming superstar.
#2 Finn Balor
Finn Balor has proven to be a really good Intercontinental Champion. WWE put the title around his waist at the right time when his momentum was running low. and the win salvaged the direction of his character and his credibility.
Balor defeated Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 35 to win the title and was subsequently moved to the SmackDown roster from Raw during the Superstar Shakeup.
Balor has been actively involved in defending the title since then, and has finally met his match in Andrade. It seems that WWE will be building Andrade from now on, and there is a good chance that Balor puts him over. This can be done as early as the Super ShowDown event.
It would allow Andrade to become a major heel on SmackDown while allowing Balor to move up to the top title picture.
#1 Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder
At a time when one of WWE’s best tag teams were holding the Raw Tag Team Championships, WWE surprised many fans by announcing a match for WrestleMania 35 for the title.
The Revival took on Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder to defend their titles, and the duo won the Raw Tag Team Championships, subsequently breaking Hawkins' 269-match losing streak. The following night on Raw, they successfully defended their titles in a rematch against The Revival, thus breaking Ryder's "WrestleMania curse" of losing a championship after winning it the night before at WrestleMania.
While it was a relief to see two talented men like Hawkins and Ryder get some spotlight, they haven’t been able to do much justice to the title since winning it.
Both men have lost a few matches as champions, while their wins haven’t been as impressive as one would have liked.
Keeping that in mind, it’s possible that The Viking Raiders or The Usos will get a chance to take the championships away from the two men this month.
