#1 WWE Championship

Kofi Kingston has been presented incredibly well as WWE Champion, but it almost feels like they're doing such a sprint with him because he was never meant to be a champion, let alone a long-term one.

SmackDown's move to Fox this fall should be the thing that dominates attention here. Kofi Kingston doesn't seem like the man the company will want to promote holding the title when that move comes. Roman Reigns is the far likelier man for that job.

To get the title on to Roman Reigns, the company will need a transitional heel champion to lose to him at SummerSlam. Kevin Owens fits that description perfectly.

There is a decent chance that WWE will continue to run with Kofi Kingston as champion, but there's also a decent chance that Vince McMahon will blame him (rather than his own boring, formulaic style) for SmackDown's low ratings (another record this week). This will lead him to further rely on Roman Reigns.

Odds of a title change - 70%
