Friday Night SmackDown has seen several new champions crowned over the past few months.
From Sami Zayn becoming a two-time Undisputed WWE Champion to Toxic Attraction being all draped in gold, these title changes has made things unpredictable on Friday nights.
In the weeks and months ahead, there could be even more title changes and should make things interesting in regards to figuring out who will be the next titleholders.
Here are our predictions for every next WWE champion on SmackDown.
WWE Women’s Championship – Tiffany Stratton
Tiffany Stratton has formed a friendship with Chelsea Green in recent months.
Despite being apprehensive about their partnership, Stratton has embraced Green and had her back on several occasions.
Now, Stratton has the chance to win the Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match for a second time at the titular event on October 10.
A win in this bout could see Stratton going on to cash in her contract on Chelsea Green to become a two-time WWE Women’s Champion sooner rather than later.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship – Charlotte Flair & Tatum Paxley
After picking up a non-title win, Charlotte Flair and Tatum Paxley have earned a shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.
This has led to a title bout against Fatal Influence that will take place on the October 9 SmackDown.
While they did get that victory, Tatum and Charlotte have not been on the same page as of late.
Proving they can come together as a unit, Flair and Paxley may just pull off another upset and become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
WWE Women’s United States Championship – Blake Monroe
After debuting and not competing for months, Blake Monroe finally got her first main roster match under her belt.
Monroe has been adamant about having her eyes on championship gold now that she has arrived on Friday Night SmackDown.
Jacy Jayne is the current WWE Women’s United States Champion, but Blake Monroe could aim to take that prize, looking to establish herself as a force to be reckoned with.
WWE Tag Team Championships – Bakusai
Shinsuke Nakamura and Kyoki have been focused on The MFTs since forming their pairing.
Bakusai are the next challengers for Tama and Talla Tonga, feeling poised to take the gold when they get their opportunity.
With not much depth in the division, it feels like a smart move to give Bakusai the WWE Tag Team Titles next.
WWE United States Championship – Damian Priest
Following his heel turn on R-Truth, Damian Priest is embracing his dark side.
While he may be focused on Truth right now, it shouldn’t be long before Priest sets his sights on gold yet again.
With his focus shifted, Priest may feel this is the perfect time to strike and take the US Title from Trick.
Undisputed WWE Championship – Kevin Owens
Ever since returning to WWE at SummerSlam 2026, Kevin Owens has been on the hunt for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
“The Prizefighter” is looking to get his hands on a world title for the first time in nearly a decade.
After coming up short in his last attempt against Sami Zayn, KO is one win away in the Men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match to get a title opportunity down the line.
Whether it is through winning the coveted briefcase or a rematch with Zayn, Owens feels like the favorite to dethrone his former best friend for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
