Here are my 2026 Predictions for WWE Wrestlers!

AJ Styles will win his final match.

Akira Tozawa (along with Otis) will win the Raw Tag Team Titles, given the push to Maxxine.

Alba Fyre will get a pretty good singles push all throughout the year.

Aleister Black will lose every PLE he's in.

Alex Shelley (with Chris Sabin) will feud with the MFTs multiple times.

Alexa Bliss will win a mid-card singles title.

Angel will feud with Santos Escobar.

Angelo Dawkins will turn heel on Montez Ford.

Apollo Crews.... Will keep killing it in AAA?

Asuka goes on a heel tear though the women's roster.

Austin Theory will have a babyface turn on the Vision once Seth Rollins returns and Theory will be further elevated as a great rival to Breakker.

Axiom (Along with Nathan Frazier) will be multiple times tag stars in 2026.

B-Fab will be released.

Bayley's Tweener character will stay for the foreseeable future.

Becky Lynch will win another world title.

Berto will also feud with Santos Escobar.

Bianca Belair will return from injury immediately in the world title scene. Lord knows SmackDown needs it.

Big E will confront the New Day, but not be doing in ring stuff. Guys... It's a wrap.

Uncle Howdy gets world title shots.

Bravo Americano gets dropped and he's back to being Tyler Bate.

Brock Lesnar will retire at SummerSlam. (I HAVE TO BE THERE, IF NOT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO.)

Bron Breakker wins the Royal Rumble, but goes after Cody and not Punk for a twist.

Bronson Reed wins the Intercontinental Championship sometime.

Brutus Creed (and Julius Creed) win the World Tag Team Titles.

Candice LeRae retires from in-ring action for a long time to be a sole manager.

Carmelo Hayes has a monstrous run as the US Champ.

Chad Gable returns to the rumble and has a face-off with El Grande Americano.

Charlotte Flair is also thrown in the SmackDown Women's World Title division.

Chelsea Green.... I have nothing substantial for... Maybe tags with Zack Ryder?

Chris Sabin feuds with MFTs.

CM Punk gets beat by LA Knight and has to climb his way back up.

Cody Rhodes loses the title. He has to. I'm actually kinda sick of this.

Cruz del Toro gets his beard back. (Thanks SantiZap for making me notice ts closely...)

Damien Priest gets a good tag title reign. With who?? I dunno.

Dexter Lumis shows shades of his past kidnapper character.

Dominik Mysterio loses the IC title to Penta, who loses it to Bronson Reed. Boom.

Dragon Lee gets elevated via AJ Styles' continued support even after Styles' retirement.

Drew McIntyre has a proper World Title Reign.

El Grande Americano finally gets revealed as who he really is.... Tito Santana.

Elton Prince (and Kit Wilson) star in Pretty Deadly the Musical.

Erick Rowan wins the US title in 2026.

Erik will mutually split with Ivar and both get booked great solo.

Finn Bálor departs from the Judgement Day as a Babyface.

Giulia... Will finally get her hair down into one style and not change it every hour.

Grayson Waller will be a tag team holder with Xavier Woods.

Gunther becomes the biggest heel the company has seen since peak Roman Reigns.

Ijla Dragunov has over 10 minutes in the rumble.

Ivar gets booked like a legit monster Babyface.

Ivy Nile becomes a 2x Women's IC Champ.

Iyo Sky will have an absolutely crazy spot in a ple that she had never done previously.

Jacob Fatu returns to feud for the WWE title.

Jade Cargill loses the title and goes to NXT to hone her craft, and most likely win the women's NXT title.

JC Mateo does a meme face.

JD McDonagh won't NOT be injured at any time throughout the year.

Jey and Jimmy Uso stay a tag team and I think they're better together. (Especially Jey.)

Joaquin Wilde and Dragon Lee have three tag matches on Raw.

Joe Gacy wows the audience with an absolutely crazy display of agility on a random SmackDown.

Joe Hendry debuts on SmackDown.

Johnny Gargano (And Tommaso) Turn face.

Jordynne Grace debuts on Raw and she feuds for the Women's IC and wins it later in 2026!

Julius Creed wins the Raw tag titles.

Kairi Sane aligns with Iyo Sky.

Kevin Owens returns at Backlash.

Kiana James becomes a full time manager.

Kit Wilson stars in Pretty Deadly the Musical.

Kofi Kingston turns face against Xavier and Grayson Waller. (This is more what I want and not a prediction.)

LA Knight wins the Chamber and beats Punk for the World Title.

Lash Legend gets built up as a heel for the Women's division. Maybe for Women's US title.

Liv Morgan becomes Women's World Champ sometime in 2026.

Logan Paul gets multiple shots at the IC.

Lyra Valkyria becomes Women's World Champ sometime as well. (I'm very high on her.)

Maxxine Dupri holds the IC women's title for a LONG time.

Michin gets released.

The Miz feuds with Joe Hendry.

Montez Ford becomes a single star after getting betrayed.

Naomi is happy as a mom :)

Natalia finally debuts her Nattie Neidhart character in WWE.

Nathan Frazier and Axiom are tag stars this year.

Bret Hart has been on a WWE Legends/Ambassadors deal since January 1st, 2022. Though, recently there have been disputes regarding him and the WWE on it.

But as of right now, he is an ambassador for the WWE. I'll be sure to let you know when it expires, or he quits.

  @Rastin Are you sure? Just double checked and pretty certain he's still only aligned with them. If you can provide a date of the episode or a source that says he's part of them then it'd be easier to update
