Predicting The Next WWE Women’s World Champions

The Women’s World Championship picture in WWE has featured largely the same names over the last year, with Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley battling it out at the top of RAW’s women’s division for months on end, with only a couple of other names managing to squeeze their way into title contention. With Ripley finally ousting Morgan and standing tall in their feud, WWE will likely finally shake things up for the Women’s World Championship.

Using some educated guesses and going logically from WWE’s current booking, we will predict the next four Women’s World Champions who will lead the line in the RAW women’s division.

Iyo Sky

Fans Have Gotten Behind Iyo Sky

• Sky has been over with fans in recent months
• There are not many other candidates on the current RAW roster
• Ripley should not have a lengthy reign this time around

After dropping off the pace for a little while after losing the WWE Women’s Title at WrestleMania 40, fans have started to rally behind Iyo Sky as a babyface, so much so that many are pitching her to be involved in the Women’s World Championship picture at WrestleMania 41. When looking across the current RAW roster, there are not many who could believably be in contention, and Sky is deserving of a big spot on the card.

After proving their chemistry in NXT, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky could have one hell of a title match, and we see Sky overcoming the odds to defeat Ripley. It would be of WWE to not have Ripley as champion for a long time, as it might run the risk of fans turning on her due being ‘forced down throats’. It would serve Ripley well to be out of the title scene for a while, and Sky is the perfect name to carry the load.

Asuka

Asuka Will Betray Her Friend

• Asuka will return and turn heel on Sky
• A feud between former friends will be great
• Asuka is always a strong world champion

Asuka has been out of the ring for quite a while, but if she returns during Iyo Sky’s title reign, expect Damage CTRL to be ripped apart even more with a devastating heel turn. Over the years, she has shown great talent in being a vicious and violent heel, and she would be the perfect name to end the babyface run of Iyo Sky, especially with the added element of their broken friendship.

Despite showing little signs of age, Asuka is becoming one of the older names in the WWE women’s division, so might not have a whole load of opportunity to get her hands on a world title. Whether this be her last or one of her last, it would be wise of WWE to make the most of Asuka when she is still in her prime.

Becky Lynch

Lynch Will Likely Get Her Hands On Gold Soon

• Lynch is set to return to WWE
• She has a long history with Asuka
• Lynch has a knack for winning titles in WWE

Becky Lynch vs. Asuka is nothing new, but it would be surprising for WWE to wait too long before crowning Becky Lynch as world champion once again when she returns to the ring. Due to her star power, we see a valiant babyface Becky Lynch end the reign of Asuka, and carry the gold into WrestleMania 42 in 2026.

In the past, Lynch and Asuka have had some brilliant matches – for instance of pair of great clashes at the Royal Rumble event – so they are guaranteed to deliver in the ring when fighting over the Women’s World Championship. Lynch’s reign in 2024 was a transitional one, so this time around she will hold the gold for a little longer.

Jordynne Grace

A New Star Will Be Made In Grace

• Lynch putting over Grace would be big
• Grace is set to be a big star for WWE
• WWE shouldn’t too long before pulling the trigger on Grace

Crowning Jordynne Grace immediately might be too soon, but building towards a title win for next year’s WrestleMania is the direction WWE should be headed in. Becky Lynch vs. Jordynne Grace is a marquee match that can help make Grace a defined star in WWE, and someone on the level of Lynch putting her over would be a surefire way of making a memorable moment.

Jordynne Grace should be the Women’s World Champion at WrestleMania 42, and putting her up against Lynch could even be worthy of a main event depending on the storyline heading into the show.
