WWE Great Balls Of Fire: 8 Best Booking Scenarios For Tonight
2. Bayley Accidentally Helps Bliss Beat Banks
Sasha Banks became the #1 Contender to the Raw Women's Championship two weeks before the PPV. Which meant there was only one week to build this up. It didn't go down well.
Plans for SummerSlam seem to angle more towards Bliss defending against Nia Jax, possibly in a heel vs. heel match. Banks, meanwhile, has been listless for months.
The ideal situation here requires some outside interference, in the forms of Bayley and Nia Jax. Bayley and Banks have been friends for months now, but haven't faced each other for the title one-on-one. Bliss and Jax have also struck up an on-and-off alliance.
Jax could try to help Bliss win. but Bayley tries to ward her off, distracting Sasha in the process. Bliss takes advantage and beats Banks to retain her title.
Sasha's heel turn has been demanded for months now. The former champion has always looked more comfortable on the evil side. Banks attacking Bayley after losing the match could provide the impetus for an explosive rivalry that makes both women into the super popular megastars that they were in NXT.
Meanwhile, Bliss continues to shine in her role of loud-mouthed slimy heel. Jax's 'take no prisoners' attitude would work well against her in some great exchanges.
