5 Current Champions in WWE who might lose their title soon

In the world of sports entertainment, it’s easy to become a champion, but it’s tough to remain the champion. The business demands a new face, a fresh feud, or an unconventional title reign full of surprises to keep the audience hooked onto the storylines.

Hence, it’s very rare to find someone to remain on the top of the roster for a long period of time.

For those who have the opportunity to get their hands on the gold, need good title defenses and engaging storylines to keep their respective title reigns interesting.

But as all good things eventually come to an end, even the best of the championship reigns eventually starts nearing its end.

In this article, we will take a look at five current champions in WWE who might lose their title in the coming weeks. While some may need a title change to help boost their position on the roster before they win it back again, others lose their gold to someone who is rising through the ranks and poses as a serious threat with the entire WWE Universe backing his or her claim.

So, without further ado, let’s begin.

#5 Andrade

Andrade needs his title reign to get spicier

WWE Superstar Andrade missed out on in-ring action in the last few weeks after sustaining a rib injury. This unfortunate incident also caused the reigning United States Champion to miss WrestleMania 36, where he was set to challenge The Street Profits for the RAW Tag Team Championships alongside Angel Garza.

On this week of RAW, he finally returned and attacked Akira Tozawa with the help of Garza and Austin Theory. The three members are a part of a newly-formed faction and seem eager to establish their dominance with Zelina Vega as their manager.

It is possible for the creatives to involve Andrade in a title feud as soon as his stable starts getting more and more popular with the WWE Universe.

Andrade’s United States Championship reign desperately needs compelling feuds, and he can find himself being challenged by someone like Kevin Owens and AJ Styles. Upon losing his title, a desperate Andrade would be forced to seek help from his new-found friends.

This, in turn, will allow more screen time for Theory and Garza, who need such opportunities to add more credibility to their respective characters.

Andrade might win back his Championship sooner than we expect, but a title change will not only help in adding more credibility to his reign but it will also account for a compelling start to his run as the leader of a new heel faction on the Red brand.

#4 The Street Profits

The Street Profits need engaging feuds

The Street Profits won the RAW Tag Team Championships from Seth Rollins and Murphy. Ever since then, they have been incredible as the Champions on RAW and have successfully defended their titles on a few occasions.

In fact, at WrestleMania 36, they managed to retain their titles in their first-ever match at the 'Grandest Stage of Them All'.

It is safe to say that Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford are over with the crowd. They are extremely charismatic Superstars who have equally good in-ring tactics to complement their antiques outside the squared circle.

They have had a good run so far and can use a title change to boost their position further up the roster. Based on their WrestleMania match, the team of Angel Garza and Austin Theory will be the best challengers for their tag team titles.

A title win will help in establishing Garza and Theory as a legitimate threat while simultaneously setting up a compelling feud for a good match at SummerSlam.

Moreover, Bianca Belair will be present to even things out against Zelina Vega which will make this feud all the more interesting.

#3 Adam Cole

Adam Cole has huge things lined up for him

The leader of The Undisputed Era and the reigning NXT Title holder, Adam Cole, is arguably the greatest Champion to have graced the Black and Gold brand. Now, he is also the longest-reigning NXT Champion in history and has several impressive title defenses to his name.

He is also the only NXT Champion to have successfully defended his title on both RAW and SmackDown.

While Cole has been nothing short of brilliant with his title run, it now seems that his Championship reign is getting close to its end. Having him lose the Championship to Tommaso Ciampa will account for a poetic booking.

But this decision will help Cole more than it would help the ‘Blackheart’, who was forced to relinquish the same title owing to his neck injury last year.

If and when Cole loses his title, nothing will be taken away from his incredible run with the title. At the same time, it will help facilitate his move to the main roster along with the members of The Undisputed Era, as they have also dropped their respective golds in the last few weeks.

And by the looks of it, we might see Cole losing his NXT gold soon.

#2 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman deserves a lengthy title reign but he might not get one

At WrestleMania 36, Braun Strowman was called as a last-minute replacement after Roman Reigns backed out of his Universal Championship match against Goldberg. Fortunately for the ‘Monster Among Men’, he made the best of his opportunity and won the Universal Championship for the first time at the ‘Grandest Stage of Them All’.

On the following week, a title feud between Strowman and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt was teased and it looks like the latter is keen on taking back his title. More than that, their rivalry will be more interesting considering the history between the two Superstars that dates back to their time together in the Wyatt Family.

Although it would be a shame to see Strowman have an unflattering title reign, there’s a high chance that he will his Championship if he is set to face ‘The Fiend’. But even before that, WWE might have him drop the coveted title at Money in the Bank as a result of a smart cash-in.

Even though Strowman wants to be a fighting Champion, there’s still a chance that he will be booked as a transitional Champion.

#1 Becky Lynch

It's difficult to beat 'The Man', but it's not impossible

Becky Lynch’s rise to the pinnacle of sports entertainment is one of the most genuine storylines in the recent history of WWE. Last year, she main-event WrestleMania and walked out with both the RAW and the SmackDown Women’s Championship after defeating Ronda Rousey ad Charlotte Flair respectively.

Even though ‘The Man’ couldn’t keep the SmackDown title for long, she has had a tight grip over the title from the Red brand. In the last year, Lynch has had several good title defenses to her name with the most recent one at WrestleMania 36, where she retained her Championship against Shayna Baszler.

Although Lynch is extremely over with the crowd, if she continues to remain an undisputed champion for very long, her title reign will become monotonous. WWE have booked her as an unbeatable force, so maybe the only way that she will lose her title would be if someone takes advantage of a negative situation where she is helpless.

Therefore, the creatives might have the winner of the Women’s Money in the Bank match to cash in the briefcase and take the title from Lynch without making her look weak.

Needless to say, it will make room for more interesting storylines and fresh feuds on the Red brand.
