Titles Most Likely to Change Hands at WWE Survivor Series WarGames 2022
Despite being one of the biggest events of the year, WWE Survivor Series WarGames 2022 doesn't seem to be heading in that direction.
If things continue on course, this may be another show in which no titles are defended and every champion can breathe a sigh of relief for a little while longer.
Until the match lineup has been fully fleshed out, though, there is still room for speculation.
Let's break down where all the championships are at the moment and which ones may change hands on November 26.
Championships Guaranteed Safe
Though not official yet, it can be assumed The Bloodline will be on one side of the men's WarGames match.
Roman Reigns won't defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, nor will The Usos defend their tag team titles if they're teaming with Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn.
If The Usos lose the gold to The New Day on Friday's SmackDown, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston will be two of their opponents in that match anyway and won't be defending the belts in the cage.
Likewise, the women's match takes several titles out of contention.
Raw women's champion Bianca Belair is heading up one team, while Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky of Damage CTRL won't be putting their women's tag team titles on the line.
Nikki Cross threw the 24/7 Championship into a trash can on Monday's Raw, which either means the belt has been retired or she's relinquished it already. But it won't be featured at Survivor Series.
Slim Chance: Intercontinental and SmackDown Women's Titles
As it stands, Gunther and Ronda Rousey haven't been booked on the card. They could well defend their respective intercontinental and SmackDown women's titles at Survivor Series, but there has been no confirmation to date.
Gunther just retained his title over Rey Mysterio on Friday's SmackDown, so he may sit this show out.
If he does defend the title, though, he's likely to retain. Few on the roster are as imposing as The Ring General, and he's been building momentum rather than heading toward a loss.
In similar fashion, Rousey isn't dropping her championship any time soon.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet is a pretty safe bet to walk into WrestleMania 39 with the belt firmly in her grasp, and she has no current adversary snapping at her heels.
Slight Chance: United States Championship
The only title that has any chance of changing hands seems to be the United States Championship, but even that is unlikely to happen.
Monday's Raw saw Mustafa Ali look to answer Seth Rollins' open challenge, only for Bobby Lashley to attack him. That was followed by Austin Theory cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, only to come up short due after The All Mighty also took him out.
Rollins has an obscured line of sight for his next challenger. All three of those involved on Monday night could stake a claim to being the next in line for a shot at the belt, which may even result in a Fatal 4-Way.
If that happens, The Visionary has no champion's advantage and could drop the belt with anyone scoring a pinfall or submission over anyone else. He doesn't even need to be involved in the decision to lose.
But seeing how Rollins managed to retain his title amid the chaos on Monday, he will remain the odds-on favorite to walk out of Survivor Series with the gold.
