WWE Championship:
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Gunther vs. Sami Zayn
Grady Hooker (83% accurate for 2026):
I could see any of these three walking out with the win and the championship, so I’m not confident in my choice. I’m going to default to the champion retaining, but I’m prepared to be wrong.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
Steve McCleary (70% accurate for 2026):
I think it’s finally time for Sami to take the win. This feels like his best shot. But that Cody guy? Sure seems hard to beat.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
David Dunn (70% accurate for 2026):
Triple threats are volatile (as if their singles encounters haven’t been controversial enough!) so I can’t say for sure, but this feels like just the right level of chaotic for Cody Rhodes to pull through.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
AJ Murtagh (57% accurate for 2026):
I have to believe that the animosity between Zayn and Gunther is going to distract both and have their focus split. I see the champion taking advantage of this.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
Sammy G (53% accurate for 2026):
I do love it when a title picture gets messy, and this one has been fun! Sami’s insertion however does not guarantee a win. When all is said and done, Cody will walk out the way he walked in: champion.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
