Next Raw Championship Challengers

WWE Champion

Big E hasn’t been champion for very long and hasn’t had a REAL feud yet. Kevin Owens is AEW bound after his contract expires. Finn Baylor isn’t written to be a superstar anymore and is probably AEW bound. Edge is older and unless they are making him heel then its not a good fit. Which leads to Seth Rollins being the obvious choice in this. Seth and Big E do have history. Big E beat Rollins for the NXT Championship and that can be a good storytelling point. Seth has the ability to make anyone look incredible in the ring. He has the mic skills to carry any promo. Big E can benefit from having Rollins as an opponent for a few weeks and into a PPV main event, especially if Rollins acquires a tag team to face the New Day.

Raw Women’s Champion

I see Bianca Belair and 3 women who shouldn’t be anywhere near a championship. I have no idea why fans like Liv Morgan. I haven’t seen anything out of Morgan that made me think she has the potential to be in the championship picture. Carmella has never been impressive as a wrestler. Her best work was being the 3rd with Enzo and Big Cass a few years ago. Zelina Vega is weirdly being pushed even though her husband in in AEW which is where she will likelyt go afrter her contract expires. Besides that she doesn’t wrestle well enough to be in the title picutree and shouldn’t have won Queen of the Ring.

Belar has the ability to be in the title picture for the rest of her career. I still see another triple threat match involving Sasha Banks, but if it doesn’t go that way the Beliar is the clear, obvious and only choice to take on Becky Lynch.

United States Champion

Huge fan of Keith Lee. Even bigger fan of Karrion Kross. Apollo Crews is just cannon fodder at this point. But Austin Theory needs this title match. Theory had a great match on NXT with Tommaso Ciampa, then got shot up to the main roster and put in pointless tag matches, then got sent back down to NXT to be Johnny Gargano’s idiot friend and now he’s back on the main roster feuding with Jeff Hardy. WWE Creative hasn’t done a good job with Austin Theory so far. Having him fight against Damien Priest would be the perfect opponent for Theory. Certainly, a chance to get Theory a boost in popularity which could eventually lead him into the main title picture.

Raw Tag Team Champion

Really glad AJ Styles and Omos aren’t on this list. The team of RK-Bro has been oddly entertaining and Randy Orton seems to be having fun with Matt Riddle. I hated the Street Profits. Angelo Dawkins is holding Montez Ford back from a very successful singles run. The Mysterio family isn’t interesting enough to be in this picture. Sure, Orton and Mysterio have history, but Dominik Mysterio isn’t equipped for a match like this. he should’ve been on NXT instead of being shot up to the main roster. Chad Gable and Otis seem to be the only logical choice. Both men have been devoid of a sense of purpose for months, but I like the pairing. Gable has been jumping from tag team to tag team hoping one will stick and Otis’s best days were when he did have a tag partner. Both men have a ying and yang with their abilities, each bringing something unique to the table. I don’t think ant team is deserving, but if I had to chose one then it would be Gable and Otis.
