How great of a match was Nia Jax vs. Sasha Banks on WWE RAW last night? It was such an excellently booked match that made Nia look impressive and athletic, but making sure we knew “The Boss” was the one to fight Alexa at SummerSlam. With Bayley injured, this was the most logical way for WWE to cover. It could be a blessing in disguise, giving Bayley much needed time off to come back and try her act again. It could also have Bayley come back and get upset that Sasha Banks took her spotlight at SummerSlam, possibly flipping the switch and giving Bayley a new perspective on how to get over with the fans.

The match at SummerSlam will not be definitive. I do not think we get a clean win either way, but do think Alexa Bliss retains. She is just too good right now to lose her title and deserves a reign longer than most. Will this come true? I think so. Bliss was all over SportsCenter last week and got a huge spotlight. She is getting a spotlight that is fit for a Goddess. Let her run wild on WWE RAW and give her a credible win at SummerSlam, even if it means she has to cheat (remember, she is a heel) to retain.

Next Up… The Demon King is Back!
