Title reign most likely to end at Wrestlemania 40?

[The Rick Jericho]

Some of the title matches haven't been announced yet, but it's looking like every main roster title will be defended.

The question is, which title reign is most likely to end?

Most of them have had lengthy title reigns leading up to the show.

Edit: Might as well add the dates of all these reigns as of today from wikipedia

Undisputed WWE Universal: 1,287 and 704 days
World Heavyweight: 287 days
Intercontinental: 637 days
United States: 123 days
Women's World: 340 days
WWE Women's: 214 days
Undisputed Tag: 142 days
WWE Women's Tag: 40 days

They got too much to lose by having Roman win, so my bet is at least he will lose his title to Cody.

Also, I see Logan Paul dropping it as well.

[ChitownKnight]

-I think Roman, Seth, and Finn/Damien all lose
-Ripley, Logan, Gunther all retain
-Smackdown women’s championship can go either way

[Nosnorb]

Cody HAS to win, so that should be the title most likely to change hands at 'mania.

[mistery]

I think the only title that won't be changing hands is Rhea's. Every other title will change hands imo.

Rhea probably holds the title until Summerslam, and then drops it to either Bianca (if she's drafted back to RAW) or someone like Iyo (if she's drafted to RAW).

They’ve been laying it on thick with regards to the Rock saying he’s gonna do everything to prevent Cody from winning and even bringing in the “if Cody loses, he can’t go for the world title ever again” gimmick from AEW, that he’s pretty much got to win.

[BlackoutCreature]

Look, I think you're all old enough to know the truth - none of them will end. None of them will ever end.

[Lizuka #BLM]

The only ones I really feel confident in are the men's tag titles and Iyo's belt.

[Deleted]

Roman's is the only one that NEEDS to change hands.

All the others can go either way.

But I do think both mens world titles are the most likely to change hands more than the rest.

[anglarite]

I see a 99.99% chance that Roman's title won't change hands. (Using Scott Steiner math that's 125.7%)

They have really exhausted everywhere they can go with this reign. Last year, he had great feuds with Sami, Kevin, and had the whole Bloodline implosion. This year, they had the LA Knight feud and that was really the only fued of note he's had in the last 12 months.

Roman has cycled through Brock 3x (not counting there 4 other feuds), Sami 2x, Kevin Owens x2, Cody 2x, Jey 2x, he's now technically on Seth x2. Where else could he possibly go?

[Mayonnaise]

Most likely to least:

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship - I think the whole Rock as a double agent thing to take down Roman is where they're headed. Bloodline wins night 1 thanks to Drew, deck is stacked against Cody but, surprise, Rock was in on it all along because of Roman and the Bloodline's actions "disgracing" guess family.

WWE Women's Title - I think they give Bayley her long awaited WM moment.

Undisputed Tag Titles - Controversy happens, titles split, Damian is free to chase Seth.

World Heavyweight Championship - Unsure on Drew's status going forward, Punk costs him the match as payback for all of Drew's actions.

United States Title - this would be higher up if the hadn't just announced the deal with Prime.

Intercontinental Championship - I just don't see a solid reason to take it off him or person to put it on. It'd be like when Ryder won it, complete with the person losing it the next night.

Women's World Championship - Becky seems cold and Rhea is killing it. I wonder if with her daughter getting closer to school age if she isn't taking time away or going part time.

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship - I think these are more likely to be forgotten about or relegated to NXT than anything.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

I gotta say Seth’s.

At this point it’d be regressive for him to retain. He’s outgrown it. Drew could use it and the win. And seths semi protected by wrestling twice, the back, and just getting back from injury.

Roman? I see what ppl are saying. I know and agree with what I want, buuuttt…I wouldn’t bet against him retaining lol

[schma]

Right now I figure the Women's Tag championship are most likely. As much as all signs point to Roman losing it, I'm not ready to place bets on that, not after last year.

Ideally, I'd like to see the Universal WWE Lol Roman wins belt, Seth's Consolation belt, the U.S. title and Intercontinental (if it gets a solid program) switch hands.

I think Becky is putting over Rhea. She's had her time at the top and this feels like it could be a pass the torch type of thing.

I figure Iyo beats Bayley here as Bayley will likely want to put Iyo over, but then Bayley will probably win the title at the next PPV.

The tag titles, really depends on if they have any plans for Damian's briefcase or if he will continue to be the dumbest man in the world.

I had figured Logan Paul would lose the U.S. title at Wrestlemania, but as others pointed out, they did just announce the sponsorship from Prime so I'm not sure. Plus it looks like LA Knight has busy work with AJ Styles and he would have made the most sense to take the belt.

Where? Two words- The Rock!

I posted this a month or so ago:

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%

I mostly feel the same except I think Logan's chances of losing have went down a bit (Orton & KO could take each other out and he steals a pin) and IYO's chances of losing went up a bit (due to Dakota's turn already happening rather than being saved for Mania to screw over Bayley).

Rhea might be below Gunther for me now actually. As a reward for the work she's put in the past year I'd like to see Becky get another babyface title run before she settles into more of a part-time role but not sure I see it happening here. I think there's more chance of Gable or Sami beating Gunther than there is of Becky beating Rhea. If Rhea loses she might seem like a bit of a flat track bully losing in her first defence against a top tier talent after mostly beating mid-upper midcard people all year. I think she wins at Mania and holds onto the title until they can do matches with Liv, Bianca and maybe Jade.

I think there is a very real chance Roman retains. If they are stubborn about wanting to do the Rock vs Roman for the belt, they could very well have Cody lose.
Seth is probably losing, but Seth should have lost before. There is a chance he retains as well. (Especially if Roman is wining)
I think Gunther's Intercontinental title is safe.
United States Championship. I figured this was very likely to change, but with the Prime ring logo deal, maybe not. It's not like anyone cares about the US title.
Tag titles. I think this is going to change. Judgement Day's run with them is getting stale.
Rhea Ripley is likely to retain. She is the most protected person on the roster. Rhea's run as champ has been weird. She's popular, but her reign has been a nothing burger. I would not be surprised if she hold on until next Mania.
IYO Sky is probably losing. They have treated her like placeholder her entire run. Only thing that makes me thing she might retain id Bayley being so generous and might be pushing for IYO to win.
If they do Bianca and Naomi going for the tag belts that a 100% chance of Kabuki warriors losing. They make note of Bianca's Wrestlemania win streak, they won't waste it on the Kabuki Warriors.

So my order of most likely to lose to least:

Kabuki Warriors (only if the opponent is Bianca)
Priest and Finn
IYO Sky
Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins
Logan Paul
Rhea Ripley
Gunther

Well if you wanna be technical, they haven’t done full babyface Seth vs Roman with a decisive finish, vs Orton, vs Punk, vs AJ, and ofcourse vs the Rock

There's always the chance that they punted on LA Knight feuding for the U.S. Title to maybe Summerslam, where he wins it from Logan Paul.

If they were that stubborn they should just have went ahead with Roman v Rock this year because the backlash would be even bigger next time if they have Cody lose then try do a Roman v Rock title match.

Fans will only accept that match if Roman drops the title to Cody first and I think they realize that now.
