One of the marquee matches of Summerslam will be for the RAW Women’s Championship where Alexa Bliss will face off against Ronda Rousey. This will only be the 4th televised match of Ronda’s career.
So what is going to happen in the match and who will win? Let’s speculate a little bit here.
Ronda will likely be the heavy favorite coming into the match. I think that most fans would agree that she has exceeded expectations so far in her WWE career. She will only keep getting better as she gains more experience in the ring.
I originally thought that the only way Ronda would lose to Alexa was if Natalya ended up turning heel and costing Ronda the match. With the passing of Natalya’s father, Jim Neidhart, there is no chance that WWE is turning Natalya heel anytime soon. We can take that one off the table.
My gut says that WWE is going to pull the trigger on Ronda as Champion. After the match, I think she will cut an emotional promo and dedicate the win to Natalya and Jim Neidhart.
This sets us up for Ronda vs Alexa in a rematch at Hell in a Cell. That will free up Ronda for a fresh feud heading into the Evolution PPV as RAW Women’s Champion. It also sets us up for Ronda vs whoever is holding the Smackdown Women’s Title at Survivor Series in a Champion vs Champion match. My fingers are crossed for Becky Lynch.
There is a chance that Alexa gets herself disqualified and the feud extends. Regardless though, Ronda will be winning the Title in the very near future.
My gut says that WWE pulls the trigger on a Ronda win on Sunday night. How do you think the match will end? Let us know in the comment section below.
