Charlotte will beat Roman for title #17 with drunken ass Ric going buck wild at ring side.

Omega? There's still no confirmation he's re-signed with AEW, it's now or never but he's happy enough in AEW that WWE would have to make some big promises to entice him. It could be a nod to the new ownership (there's probably a bit of an overlap between MMA fans and NJPW fans).
I think it's very unlikely for a host of reasons but his name has to be among the contenders when they ask this question at the meetings inside Titan towers.

My prediction as of today is that they'll announce a draft/shake-up soon and that "the fans deserve a world champion on each show" so Roman will have to defend the two titles separately. He'll drop the WWE title (surely to Cody) at MITB or Summerslam and hold the Universal title until Wrestlemania 40.

They can't be holding out for the Rock, surely? I can see them getting one match out of him, but I doubt he'd commit to more. That means he'd come in, lose, and we're back where we started again. The Bloodline and family story has been built up enough that Rock vs Roman Reigns for the true Head of the Table title is enough of a sell, isn't it? It doesn't need the title. I bet they figure loyalty and playing to The Prestige of the Title would be enough to convince Rocky to stay for a few months. I bet he's given them some lip service in favor of that idea, but darn it, wouldn't you know, his schedule just keeps being too busy, and they're dumb enough to keep waiting for him. If they ever give up on Rock, I assume it's going to be some UFC person I've never heard of in some huge crossover thing no one cares about.

Earliest now I see Roman losing the belts is Summerslam. If he still has them after that, it's going all the way to Mania again.

Roman continues to win forever even as a geriatric old man until the heat death of the universe.

Saw someone say online, Solo will take the belt off Roman. Sent by the "Elders" and they are finally sick if Roman, So Solo saves him only to demand a title shot which the USOs turn on Roman to help Solo win

Roman Reigns will surpass Hulk Hogan's title reign.

Roman drops the belt to Cody or someone else, probably at one of the b grade events. The new champ underwhelms the audience as wwe squandered the big pay off. They conclude the new champ is just a flop and put the title back on Roman.
This is the answer, right here.
Why they have this hard-on for keeping the belt on Roman, I'll never know. He's eclipsed Punk's reign handily, and there's no way in hell he's gonna touch Bruno's 2000+ day reign, or even Hogan's 1500 or so day reign.
I've heard the argument that you couldn't have the entire bloodline vanquished at one event because there'd be no credible heels left, but... whose fault is that, again?
I hate to say this, but at the rate their going, you might've just jynxed it. He's certainly not far behind Hogan's first WWF title reign. He needs to hold onto that title past September of 2024. To surpass Bruno's reign, he has to hold it past May 1st, 2028, and that's just the Universal Title reign, which is a different lineage. For the WWE championship alone, he would have to hold it past December 3rd, 2030!

I think it'll end up back on Brock honestly

There is no endgame. It's just "Roman Wins LOL" until it's not.

Honestly, who f***ing knows. I keep seeing Star Wars comparisons today and I'm like, the Empire's been striking back for the last two years, where the f*** are the Jedis? I believe Rey is all of the jedi now.

When we're graced with the horrors of Jon Jones as WWE Champion, you're to blame.

It can only end with the last man to pin him. Baron Corbin, the WWE Universe turns its lonely eyes to you. Or the last man who pinned him for a title, the man whose relentless advertising and public relations appearances recently likely secured his bag with the newly merged company for years to come….. You know what? f*** it, I'll take it. Have Miz talk up a big game about how he has Roman's number, that he's the only one who can beat him. Just have Roman laugh it off and give him a pity match, thinking that nothing will come of it, then Miz uses some classic underhanded tactics and beats Roman by hooking his feet on the ropes or something and have him walk off with the belts. Like, it wouldn't be what's needed, but I'd just have that at this point.

Roman gets injured and the title is vacated. Seriously. This is pro wrestling. You get hurt all the time. Booking a dude as champ for YEARS in a row is just begging for Vacant to claim the title. i hate to say it but i genuinely think this is what will happen

Not to mention that masterful save by him and Snoop...I will always be down for a Miz reign even though I secretly want him to get the IC title one more time and solidify himself as *the best IC champ ever

I'll share the one result I think would be worth it. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER}
Re-match at WM40. The Usos are neutralized. Solo comes ups to repeat the Spike but is saved by ..... Goldust. Dustin's AEW contract is up in 2023 and he's claimed this'll be his last year as an in-ring talent. With no support left, Roman finally loses. This could also be a triple threat involving the Rock where, once again, a darling is the third man at every 10th iteration.
