Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss via count out at the ‘Great Balls Of Fire’ Pay-Per-View. Titles don’t change hands on a count out, so Alexa is still your RAW Women’s Champion. Both Sasha and Alexa brawled after the match, making it clear that this feud is far from over.
We have some rumors regarding the original plans for the match between Alexa and Sasha. Also, what could be coming next between them.
There are some rumors circulating that the original outcome at ‘Great Balls Of Fire’ was going to be Alexa defeating Sasha by pinfall. To go along with that, the betting odds for the match showed a huge shift just prior to the event, with Sasha becoming the heavy favorite. This suggests that Vince changed his mind at the last moment to keep the feud between Sasha and Alexa going.
It was rumored several weeks ago that the likely direction for Summerslam and the RAW Women’s Championship was Alexa vs Nia Jax. Now, things have become very interesting in the Women’s division.
It was speculated by Dave Meltzer on his appearance on ‘The LAW: Live Audio Wrestling’ that WWE could go two ways here. One would be to give Sasha a rematch over the next few weeks on Monday Night RAW. Alexa would win and move on to feud with Nia to keep the original Summerslam plans.
The second direction would be to keep the Banks vs Bliss feud going into Summerslam and keep Nia Jax on the back-burner for the time being. It is clear that WWE wants to go with a Nia vs Alexa match at some point but they don’t have to rush into it.
