At WrestleMania 41 Night One Jey Uso captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from GUNTHER.
It was the feel-good moment of the weekend, but how long can these positive vibes last for the new champion?
With a stacked roster full of potential challengers, here are our predictions for the next five World Heavyweight Champions.
Sami Zayn
At the Raw after WrestleMania 41, Sami Zayn joined Jey Uso in celebrating his WWE World Heavyweight Championship victory.
Despite Zayn’s pride in his former teammate, there was a subtle hint at a future challenge.
With Zayn returning from injury, it’s easy to see the seeds being planted for a storyline where he faces Uso for the title.
The ultimate underdog could finally have his moment, capturing the big one and completing his long-awaited journey.

Drew McIntyre
It seems that at the upcoming WWE Backlash PLE, Drew McIntyre could be competing for Jacob Fatu’s United States Title alongside other potential challengers Damian Priest, and LA Knight, with Fatu likely retaining.
By not taking the fall in this match, McIntyre could pivot and make a claim for Sami Zayn’s World Heavyweight Championship.
The two have had an ongoing rivalry, with McIntyre winning most of their prior encounters, including his recent victory over Zayn on Raw in January.
Given their history of excellent matches and McIntyre’s dominance in their past bouts, another face-off between the two could see McIntyre capturing yet another World Championship.

LA Knight
This year’s Money in the Bank could see the ever-popular LA Knight capture the coveted briefcase.
Holding the contract would give him the opportunity to tease a cash-in on Drew McIntyre, with the two having recently exchanged words on this week’s SmackDown.
The storyline could then build to a major moment at WWE SummerSlam where McIntyre defends against former Bloodline rival Solo Sikoa, only for LA Knight to cash in, much to the delight of the crowd.
The victory would compound McIntyre’s grievances as he watches LA Knight snatch his title away.

Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa, not being pinned in the WWE SummerSlam contest, would be able to make a legitimate claim for the title LA Knight captured, leading to a highly anticipated title match at Clash in Paris.
Meanwhile, tensions within The Bloodline between Jacob Fatu and Sikoa will have between escalating, with the breaking point occurring when Sikoa forces US Champion Fatu to assist him in cheating for a victory.
Despite the heel tactics, the title change in the French capital would still generate a huge crowd reaction.
Importantly, the drama within The Bloodline would continue to unfold, adding fuel to an already explosive inter-factional storyline.

Jacob Fatu
WWE recently announced that for the first time in its 40-year history, Survivor Series will be held at an outdoor venue, Petco Park in San Diego, on 29 November.
This would be the perfect setting in front of a potential 39,000 fans to witness the explosive final chapter of The Bloodline, with both World and US Champions facing off.
Jacob Fatu, the current US Champion, would battle Solo Sikoa, while fending off former brethren, both Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
The Samoan Werewolf is widely popular, and this historic event could see him become a historic double champion.
