WWE's Upcoming Title Changes: Major Shifts Expected Before June Ends
Anticipated Title Changes in WWE
As June approaches its conclusion, WWE may be gearing up for significant title changes. Factors such as injuries, ongoing rivalries, and the looming Money in the Bank (MITB) event suggest that fans could be in for some unexpected twists.
CM Punk vs. John Cena: A Title Showdown
The forthcoming Night of Champions event is poised to alter the landscape of WWE's main event scene. CM Punk is scheduled to challenge John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Although Cena is favored to retain his title, Punk has made it clear that he is determined to seize the championship.
Punk has hinted at the possibility of dethroning Cena, and with their match set for June 28, WWE has ample opportunity to deliver a shocking outcome as the month wraps up. It remains uncertain whether WWE will opt for a surprise or maintain the expected course.
Potential Changes in the Women's Division
The Women’s United States Championship could soon see a new champion crowned on Smackdown. Giulia, who recently joined the blue brand, has already set her sights on Zelina Vega’s title.
Rumors suggest that WWE is planning a significant push for Giulia in the near future, potentially leading to a title shot against Vega. If this match occurs at Night of Champions or during a special Smackdown event before the end of June, WWE might take the opportunity to elevate the former NXT star to champion status.
Seth Rollins: The MITB Threat
The Night of Champions will feature a marquee match between CM Punk and John Cena, but the outcome may not be the end of the story.
Seth Rollins, who currently holds the Money in the Bank briefcase, poses a significant threat to the winner. Regardless of who emerges victorious in the Punk-Cena match, Rollins could capitalize on the situation by cashing in his briefcase. If he successfully claims the title post-match, he would conclude June with a dramatic victory.
Injury Concerns for Liv Morgan
This week’s episode of RAW brought unfortunate news for Liv Morgan, who has sustained a legitimate injury. As one half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Raquel Rodriguez, Morgan's absence raises questions about their title reign.
Instead of vacating the titles, WWE might consider introducing Roxanne Perez as a temporary replacement. This move would mirror Naomi's role last year when she stepped in for Jade Cargill. If Perez teams up with Raquel on RAW, she could potentially end the month as a champion.
AJ Styles' Title Opportunity
It has been several years since AJ Styles held a singles title in WWE, but that could soon change. He is set to compete against Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship at Night of Champions.
WWE may choose to reward the veteran by allowing Styles to end Dominik’s reign in Riyadh, marking a new chapter for the Intercontinental title and providing a long-awaited accolade for The Phenomenal One.
