After a number of recent titles changes in WWE, there could be even more Championships set to change hands in the near future.
With titles potentially up for grabs across both WWE Raw and SmackDown, there could definitely be some brand new WWE Champions crowned by the end of the year.
Here are seven more WWE title changes that could be coming soon.
7. Women’s Intercontinental Champion — AJ Lee
While Becky Lynch continues to hold the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, she has done a lot to ensure that she continues a successful reign.
With eliminating the inaugural champ Lyra Valkyria from challenging her for the IC title again in this reign, Lynch now looks to find her next challenger.
Continuing to elevate others from the WWE Raw roster through her feuds — like Maxxine Dupri — Lynch’s day of reckoning is on the horizon with the anticipated return of AJ Lee.
While AJ Lee hasn’t been seen in WWE since she and CM Punk bested the duo of Lynch and Seth Rollins at WWE Wrestlepalooza — rumors persist that she will be making a return soon to join the women’s WarGames match set for Survivor Series.

6. World Tag Team Championship – Matt & Jeff Hardy
With the WWE World Tag Team Championship held by the new duo of AJ Styles and Dragon Lee — it could be that their storyline continues to extend beyond just one promotion.
One interesting crossover could actually end up occurring in TNA Wrestling with the legendary AJ Styles and Dragon Lee potentially putting their titles on the line against a pair of current TNA Champions.
With Matt and Jeff Hardy holding the TNA Wrestling Tag Team Championship, there could be an iconic crossover between the two brands in order to determine the next World Tag Team Championship.
Possibly winning the TNA Wrestling titles first, the pair of AJ Styles and Dragon Lee would end up dropping them back to the Hardy Boyz.

5. World Heavyweight Champion — Bron Breakker
While Bron Breakker has been given credit for taking Seth Rollins out of action on WWE TV, the move ended up in the World Heavyweight Championship vacated.
Much to the chagrin of Breakker — who seemed very cozy with the Championship after boosting it off of the downed Rollins — it would go on to be won by CM Punk after a hard fought battle with Jey Uso.
Potentially set to continue the rivalry with Punk in the place of Rollins’ character, there could be a major few months coming up for Bron Breakker.
Able to be set up to not just beat Punk to capture the title but then to feud with Roman Reigns ahead of WrestleMania 42 — it could end up becoming a huge year for Bron Breakker.

4. Women’s World Champion – Nikki Bella
While Nikki Bella turned heel on Stephanie Vaquer on a recent edition of WWE Raw, it would make complete sense to see her end up beating La Primera for the WWE Women’s World Championship.
Interestingly, Bella could end up making a new alliance with Roxanne Perez that would inevitably put her in a showdown with a familiar foe from the near past — Liv Morgan.
While their first exchange was lackluster, it may be that given the recent shake-up of Nikki Bella turning heel and Morgan presumed to return as a babyface will make this feud epic.
Able to return to action in WWE to capture the WWE Women’s World Championship away from Bella before potentially kicking up a new feud with Roxanne Perez — this change would set off a chain of events to keep WWE Raw women’s division busy for the foreseeable future.

3. Women’s Tag Team Champions — Nia Jax & Lash Legend
After the unlikely alliance of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair not only captured the Women’s Tag Team Championship but went on to reign for 100 days — they only recently fell to a pair of formidable foes.
While the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) just captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship from Bliss & Flair— it doesn’t mean that their reign will last a very long time.
With the intense duo of Nia Jax and Lash Legend making a massive debut on SmackDown and reportedly set to carry over their ferocity into the upcoming Survivor Series WarGames match — it would be that Jax and Legend are set for a title run themselves.
Able to co-exist with the Kabuki Warriors for the time being, it could be that Nia Jax and Lash Legend end up their first challengers for the titles after Survivor Series.

2. United States Championship — Oba Femi
Picking up the mantle of the United States Championship open challenge when he bested Sami Zayn to capture the gold, Ilja Dragunov has proven himself a fighting champion.
However, after recently dodging Ciampa by electing to face Johnny Gargano in a hard fought battle – Dragunov may still have a line-up of challengers from the SmackDown roster.
But if Dragunov is able to fend off his fellow veteran heavy hitters, there could be a brand new star headed to the main roster that could take the United States Championship.
With Oba Femi continuing to need a solid segue into the main roster, it could be that capturing the United States Championship in his debut could be the route to take. Able to resume feuding with the entire cast that has already been targeting Dragunov, Femi would have a built in set of challengers.

1. Intercontinental Championship — Sheamus
To see John Cena defend his recently won Intercontinental Championship against Sheamus and lose on WWE Raw November 17 might be the perfect way to wrap up his career.
Using his last TV appearance before his swan song to cement the legacy of one of his peers — with Sheamus also only lacking the IC title to complete his WWE Grand Slam — it could be a shared celebration even in Cena’s defeat.
Able to move forward to defend the title against the likes of Rusev & PENTA, Sheamus’ reign wouldn’t need to be long to be impactful.
Setting John Cena up for his final two appearances — Survivor Series and then Saturday Night’s Main Event where he will face the winner of the Last Time Is Now tournament — it would be nice to see his farewell tour wrapped up neatly with nostalgia.
