The annual WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view is now in the rearview mirror. With their wins in the respective battle royals, Bianca Belair and Edge will be the stars competing for a world championship of their choice at WrestleMania.
WrestleMania is still two months and two pay-per-views away. New champions could be crowned WWE Elimination Chamber and Fastlane. Needless to say, these shows could shake up the WrestleMania card. WWE has many championships that could change hands in the coming months.
The Road to WrestleMania is officially underway, and it's easily considered to be the most exciting time of the year for WWE fans. WWE could make this period even more unpredictable with a few title changes.

WrestleMania takes place on April 10 and 11 this year. A lot could happen in the time leading up to the show. The following list looks at just five championships that could change hands in the next two months.
#5 The WWE Raw Women's Championship
For the most part, Asuka has been holding on to the RAW Women's Championship since May 2020 when she won the Money in the Bank ladder match. After this victory, Becky Lynch gave her the title.
Lynch was forced onto maternity leave after "The Man" announced that she was expecting her first child with fellow WWE star Seth Rollins. Lynch and Rollins announced their daughter's arrival in December.
Many WWE fans believed that Lynch would make her return in the Women's Royal Rumble Match. If she did, se could have chased the championship that she never lost. Instead, Lynch is still on the sidelines, but there still remain several challengers for Asuka's championship in Lynch's absence.
While Lynch has been away from WWE, Asuka has rarely defended her title. She recently entered a feud with Alexa Bliss. The former champion has already proven that she can defeat Asuka. Since it's likely that Bianca Belair will challenge Sasha Banks on SmackDown, this title should change hands soon.
Asuka hasn't had a great run on the red brand. If the RAW Women's Championship is defended inside the Elimination Chamber in a few weeks' time, then it's possible that a new champion will be crowned.
RAW has stars like Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and even Shayna Baszler who could challenge Asuka for the title. All three contenders could present interesting arguments for their participation in the potential Elimination Chamber Match at the end of the month.
#4 The WWE Raw Tag Team Championship
The WWE RAW Tag Team Championships are currently being held by Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin. These two men make up half of The Hurt Business, but in recent weeks, it's been clear that they are not on the same page.
MVP has been forced to step in and help the two men keep their titles. Last week on WWE RAW, they almost lost the championships to Lucha House Party.
It's clear that one of the men will end up costing their team the gold. When the champions face some true contenders, Benjamin and Alexander might finally implode.
The tag team titles could easily change hands on an episode of Monday Night RAW. This development would be seen as a big shock, and it would make it seem like anything could happen on the show.
Monday Night RAW doesn't have a lot of tag teams right now. But if Edge and Christian decide to reunite and challenge for the championships, they could instantly become contenders for the gold.
#3 WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax were able to find a way past Charlotte Flair and Asuka at the WWE Royal Rumble on Sunday night. The former champions recaptured their titles, but the following night on RAW, Lana and Naomi became the new number one contenders.
Baszler and Jax were once bitter enemies, and they have only come together to win the gold. It's obvious that the two women don't like each other, and many fans believed that they would turn on each other at WWE Royal Rumble.
With two months to go until WrestleMania, it's likely that Jax and Baszler will lose their championships. Lana and Naomi could win the titles, or another team could emerge as the champions' new challengers.
Baszler and Jax should be challenging for the RAW Women's Championship. It's fair to argue that the former NXT stars have no business being in the WWE Tag Team Championship picture. By dropping the titles, they could free themselves up for a singles championship match at WrestleMania.
#2 WWE United States Championship
The WWE United States Championship currently sits around the waist of Bobby Lashley. "The Almighty" has been engaged in a hated feud with Riddle.
The CEO of The Hurt Business was able to cut his match with Riddle short this past week on RAW. But it's likely that Riddle will seek a rematch. Given the issues that have been plaguing The Hurt Business, "The Original Bro" could take the title.
Lashley's teammates were unable to prevent him from having to face Riddle this week on RAW when they lost a gauntlet match to the former UFC star. Lashley got himself disqualified this past week in order to retain his championship.
Riddle has never won a singles championship in WWE, but this rivalry could change that. WWE seemingly has high hopes for Riddle, so the company could put the title on him.
Lashley and MVP seem to be on the same page, so the two men could remain together as a duo. But if Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander continue to butt heads, they could get kicked out of the group sooner rather than later.
#1. WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship
At the moment, Robert Roode and Dolph Zigger are holding the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship. But heading into WrestleMania, it's unclear if the two stars will be able to keep the titles when several challengers stand in their way.
The Street Profits will definitely be looking to regain those championships in the coming weeks. They were able to hold the titles for almost a year before Roode and Ziggler dethroned them. Plus, the new champions somewhat cheated to beat The Street Profits, as Montez Ford was injured heading into the title match.
WWE's tag team division seems to be an afterthought most of the time, and many of the title changes don't make a lot of sense. That being said, there are several teams on SmackDown who could dethrone Ziggler and Roode in the coming months. WWE could decide to put a spotlight on the tag team division heading into WrestleMania.
As already stated, Elimination Chamber and Fastlane are just a few weeks away. It's highly unlikely that the company will present two pay-per-views without a single championship changing hands.
