10 Early WWE Hell In A Cell 2016 Predictions

10. David Vs. Goliath

The last two shows have positioned Bayley far away from the Raw Women’s Championship scene. Charlotte pinned her to retain the belt at Clash of Champions, while this week’s Raw saw Bayley limp past an enhancement talent while Charlotte and Sasha Banks set up a one-on-one match for the belt.

Perhaps she’ll worm her way back into the picture before long, but Bayley’s immediate future seems to lie away from the belt. This works well, as Bayley’s character is much more suited to a slower, more careful build towards title contention rather than immediate dominance. The problem is that she works incredibly well with Charlotte and Sasha, and their group chemistry can always be relied on to deliver a great match. Furthermore, there’s not exactly much else for her to do on Raw, particularly with the likes of Paige and Emma on the sidelines.

Enter Nia Jax.

The two have clashed before in NXT, and with Nia’s jobber-squashing spree nearing the end of its shelf life, she’s in dire need of something more substantial. Though still early in her development, Jax has sucked all the momentum she’s going to get from these short matches, and it’s time to step-up.

Though their NXT matches didn’t set the world on fire, they were among the best of Nia’s career. Expect Nia to pick up the win if they meet at HIAC, leading towards Bayley’s ultimate victory later down the line.
