Imo, it looks that way. Now that Gunther beat Jey. Every title holder has had a really long reign and Logan Paul won't be around long enough to defend a mid card belt. Of course I understand with Roman, you have to see it to believe it, and perhaps all titles changing hands, will make WWE very much face directed, but I don't see much point in letting any of them go longer.

I am pretty sure Rhea retains so that's why I chose no.

I'm pretty sure Iyo's retaining, wouldn't be shocked at all if Rhea, Roman, Paul, and Seth all do, and it's clear that they're not even going to bother to pretend there's any chance of Gunther ever actually losing the Intercontinental title and he's just going to vacate it whenever he wins one of the top belts.

you've got a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better chance of no titles changing hands instead of all of them.

No, but I suspect it’ll only be one or two that don’t. Ripley is my lead pick to retain.

I think Rhea and Gunther retain. Gunther will either lose the night after or ppv after.

From the way the card is shaping up the only two I wouldn't mind retaining are IYO and Rhea and I think one of those probably will.

Rhea and Iyo could both possibly retain. Gunther I can’t see losing at Mania they haven’t built anyone up other than Jey Uso and they’ve burnt that match now. Might as well have Gunther keep the belt till the Berlin show at the least.

I assume Rhea retains (especially as they already have a few feuds to dive into post-Mania), while I think Iyo is most likely to retain if they save Dakota's betrayal of Bayley for Mania. If it happens beforehand, I'd assume there's a title change.

I think Bron Breakker should be the one to finally dethrone Gunther, so I don't think Gunther is losing any time soon.

No, I'm going to pick Rhea and Gunther to retain also.

With Gunther it depends who he's facing but they seem to be preparing Sami for some big redemption and beating Gunther would work to finish that arc.

Nope because I think both womens titles are going to be retained.

There doesn't seem to be anyone available with the kind of momentum necessary to dethrone Gunther at this point. Even like an LA Knight or something I doubt they'd put over. I also don't think Rhea will lose hers. I can't see them giving the title back to Becky or to Liv quite yet.

Until Romance Reigns is pinned and the confetti drops don’t discount HHH’s love of never ending HEAT

They can heat up Gable enough to beat Gunther at Mania. Tapping out Ivar clean certainly gives the impression he’s getting a push.

Nope because I think both womens titles are going to be retained. Pretty much how I feel here. Iyo is the more likely of the two, but even I'm not entirely convinced she's going to lose. Bayley has been pretty open that she has done everything she wants to do with her career, and wants to put over other women. I don't really see how Iyo would benefit from losing to Bayley at Mania. Where Bayley can easily be drafted to RAW to work with the women there, because I assume Rhea is still going to be a heel after Mania. There's also the risk of Iyo massively cooling off after losing the title, which would be bad for WWE, as she's one of their top draws at the moment in terms of ratings/viewership. So if she were to lose, they would probably be wise to move her over to RAW and have her dethrone Rhea (especially since Rhea has been open as well about wanting to put Iyo over in a big way, as she's a huge fan and supporter of her) by Summerslam.

I think history shows that there's never been a Wrestlemania with every title switching hands so I think a couple of heels will win but most will switch.
In order how likely I think they are to drop their titles:
Roman - 99% Finn/Priest - 90% Logan - 85% IYO - 80% Seth - 75% Kairi/Asuka - 50% Rhea - 35% Gunther - 25%
When Gunther was scheduled to face Brock I think he'd definitely have won and they'd have saved him losing for another PPV when it can get most of the attention compared to Mania when it could be overshadowed by Roman's reign ending. If Gable ends up being his opponent though I think his chances of losing go way up because the only reason to do that match again would be if Gable wins.

And it would be a pretty fitting passing of the torch that 2 of the 4 Horsewomen go out on their shields by putting over two of the biggest women in the division presently and of course champions.
