We've just passed RAW number 1,252-which means that we are within 5 years of RAW 1500. Which leads to a very important question: What will the product look like 5 years 1,735 days from now on February 21st, 2022?

Our champions (stolen without permission from the Jinder Discussion Thread)


Some points for discussion and predictions:
  • Who will hold the NXT, Smackdown, and RAW main titles as of 2/21/2022?
  • Who will have recently won the 2022 Royal Rumble?
  • Will the brand split still be in effect?
  • Will NXT still be a touring-level brand?
  • Will the WWE Network still exist?
  • Will Smackdown and RAW still be available via traditional cable deals?
  • Which current tag teams will still be active and primarily competing as tag wrestlers?
  • Who will be the Authority Figures on each show?
  • Will Sami Zayn have held the WWE Championship or the WWE Universal Championship?
  • Will Roman Reigns have been turned heel?
  • Does CM Punk appear on WWE TV in the interim?
  • Will the WWE face a competitor capable of topping TNA's highwater mark of a 1.45 rating?

For reference:
Men under the age of 30 who have held any main roster title: Bray Wyatt, Rich Swann, Jason Jordan


kill me if I'm here on 2/22/22 to check for accuracy

Looking at WM 5 years ago and trying to predict WM 5 years from now seems impossible

But drat, the predictions would have been fantastic.

Seth Rollins was 29 when he cashed in on Brock/Roman at mania.

Or do you mean just guys who are still under 30?

Currently under 30. Which is loving dire.
