2026: The Year In Preview

2026 - The Year In Preview

It's a day later than usual, but here are my predictions spoilers for the year ahead. 

- Yota Tsuji will win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at NJPW WrestleKingdom on January 4th

- Speaking of January 4th, the retiring Hiroshi Tanahashi will go out with a win over Kazuchika Okada

- Here's a longshot gamble, considering he's currently injured and not expected back yet: Seth Rollins will win the Men's 2026 Royal Rumble

- Bianca Belair will win the Women's 2026 Royal Rumble

- The Buffalo Bills will win the Super Bowl

- Cody Rhodes .vs. Roman Reigns III will headline this year's WrestleMania

- The Indianapolis Colts will part ways with general manager, Chris Ballard

- Gareth Southgate will return to football as coach of Manchester United

- I'll read at least six Stephen King books. Looking at where I am in my King journey, it looks like I have to go from Cell (2006) to Under the Dome (2009)

- Personal hope: Taylor's Pro Football Gambling Annual 2026 will have more copies sold than the 2025 edition

- Brazil will win the World Cup

- Shota Umino will be the G1 Climax winner 

- The much talked about Anthony Joshua .vs. Tyson Fury fight still wouldn't have happened by December 31st (I predicted this before Joshua's crash in Nigeria on December 29th 2025)

- A famous face from Neighbours will become a regular cast member on Home and Away

- At the risk of jinxing them.. Cardiff City will be back in the Championship for the 2026/27 season

- A female author will win the 2026 Booker Prize

- Arch Manning will win the Heisman Trophy

- Chris Rea's Driving Home For Christmas will be the Christmas Number One

As usual, I'll check back in with these spoilers on New Year's Eve to see how they fared. Read Wednesday's post to see how my guesses for 2025 panned out.
