John Cena wins the WWE Championship in December before retiring

Mercedes Mone wins the AEW World Women’s World Title

Bron Breakker wins World Heavyweight Title

Kenny Omega wins AEW World Title

One of Stephanie Vaquer or Giulia gets called up after WrestleMania

Penta has a hot start in WWE and they don’t bring in Fenix

Samantha Irvin eventually joins AEW but as an annoying heel valet to Ricochet

AJ Styles does a summer stint in TNA

Impossible to say without knowing their contract status but WWE and AEW wrestlers continue to swap places. Ricky Starks will for sure be in WWE, I think AEW will add another WWE vet but this time it will be a female (maybe Bayley?)

This one is dark but Ric Flair will have another Final match but will end up like Mickey Rourke in the wrestler

Carmella and Alexa Bliss officially retire

Chris Jericho doesn’t retire sadly

Ratings discourse finally dies in 2025

  • Triple H can't help himself and signs Tessa Blanchard
  • More excursions to NOAH for talent not being used (i.e. Omos)

Negativity (Kayfabe)
I'm gonna sound negative because of the downturn of AEW and WWE spreading it's wings, I'm thinking this is the year the "success" plateaus.

WWE is getting fat and has no reason to really "come with it."
  • No significant NXT call-ups (No one in NXT has mainstream appeal, really) (Bron Breakker didn't even have the "Brock Lesnar" spot like ya'll think Oba with)
  • John Cena overstays his welcome (buries ppl, needlessly wins World titles)
  • In-ring wrestling slips in quality because of the lack of house shows and ppl getting out of shape
  • WWE doesn't take advantage of Netflix and the product feels just like it did on USA/Fox
  • People are gonna beg for both shows to go back to 2 hours each


  • Randy Orton becomes the biggest heel in WWE by EOY25
  • Uncle Howdy storyline is completely scrapped by Summer...Bo Dallas cryptically tweets starting retirement talk
  • Jacob Fatu becomes one of the best promos in the WWE
  • Alexa Bliss returns finally...and flops miserably
  • Shelton Benjamin gets a title and holds it for quite some time.

I hate how right I was about the Wyatt6.

Like, they debuted on a BANG! and until today, it's almost like they don't exist.

I lost my brother (suddenly), so, I 100% know what Bo feels. But, I never thought HHH would actually be able to pull it off.

John Cena Wins #17 at Summerslam Beating Gunther

Ricky Starks Joins NXT & Wins the NXT Title by October

Austin Theory turns Face

Big E Returns to in ring action

WWE Women’s division gets a complete overhaul

CM Punk win the World Heavyweight Championship

A lot of these are a given, except...I think Big E is done-done. :to:

And I still need to see Rhea put someone over (lemme be nice, she definitely made Nia look legit despite her beating her) ebfore I take anything involving WWE women's wrestling seriously again.

Wargames exposed what HHH actually cares about. Once again, the only story was Liv/Rhea.
Jacob becomes tribal chief with Rocks support

McIntyre wins royal rumble

KO beats Cody at Rumble due to interference from Orton

Cena feuds with Gunther and loses clean


Complete overhaul of women’s division. NXT has too much talent.

Melo and Trick feud again on main roster and make up. Become tag team

Charley Dempsey gets heavy push in NXT. Becomes NXT champion

Montez Ford still doesn’t get a singles push

Bianca turn heel finally. She injured Jade. Starts stable with Lash and Jakara
I wish I had as much faith in new shyt happening.

My prediction; the main event scene is the same people as last year.

And the mid-card will continue not to exists as every one else is booked like jobbers (aka, no real story, they dissappear week to week).
TriKKkle H does not have a black male or female wrestler hold a main singles title all year :mjpls:
Apparently "it's a numbers game...there's not enough black talent in the WWE"

Omos ("Big men in modern wrestling don't work anymore" but Braun fukking Stroman is still on our TVs in between his long injuries [I was I could find that post])
Apollo
Montez (I gave up on the Profits)
AD
Bianca
Jade
One of the Party girls (Got called up to make a brat [Rousey] happy and job out)
R-Truth (court jestor)
Woods
Kofi (Put to the Tag Team title on them you coward)
Melo (Put the US Title on him you coward...#1 Pick and fighing with Stroman old ass)
B-Fab
Michin (I guess)

All talented people.

Zoey Stark championship! :blessed:
Yea, the Speed Champion :to:
Bron Breakker wins World Heavyweight Title
Cena's last match should be him failing to win the title, again, against Bron.
WWE
  • CENAWINSLOL gets turned up to 11 and he buries everyone he feuds with like he buried Austin Theory
  • Judgement Day FINALLY ends
  • With secondary women's titles, the Women's Tag Belts are finally scrapped
  • Jordynne Grace holds one of the main roster women's belts by the time 2025 ends

There's no point in women's tag team wrestling (nowadays) on the main roster other than to "Here, nikka, damn" spots like 5 v 5's.

Jordynee = Women's US Champion (book it)

Judgement Day been going on for 3 years...and the most memorable era was R-Truth. I liked Damian's Champion run, but, it came after months and months of breakup teases and Priest failing to cash in (a tired wrestling trope).
