Alexa Bliss will defend her RAW Women’s Championship against Nia Jax at Extreme Rules. This comes after Alexa cashed in her Money in the Bank contract a few weeks ago to steal the Title from Nia.
So what is going to happen in this match? Let’s speculate a little bit here.
The thing of interest in this match will be Ronda Rousey. She claimed in a recent WWE interview that she will be sitting at ringside for the match as a fan. This seems like a clear tease that she will interfere in some way, especially since it is now an Extreme Rules match.
To begin, I want to say that I am pretty certain that Alexa will be retaining her Title. WWE just put the belt on her and I really don’t think they would switch it back to Nia already. That means she is going to have to find a way to retain and a disqualification isn’t an option anymore (due to the Extreme Rules stipulation).
My gut says that Ronda is going to accidentally take out Nia in her quest to destroy Alexa. For example, Ronda is looking to hit Alexa with a chair but hits Nia instead (or something like that). Ronda gets restrained by security guards and Alexa picks up the pin on Nia to retain. This accomplishes a couple of things:
The first is that it sets us up for Ronda vs Alexa at Summerslam for the RAW Women’s Championship. This seems like what WWE is building towards. It also sets up Ronda vs Nia down the road for the Title since Ronda cost her the match. Also, their previous match at Money in the Bank didn’t have a proper finish.
That’s how I see it going. How about you?
