9. Sasha's Back

After months off TV, Sasha Banks finally made her return to Raw last week. She stood up to WWE Women's Champion Charlotte, making it clear to her old NXT rival that she was after the title.

This week, Banks was back in action, teaming up with Paige to take on Charlotte and Dana Brooke. Not only was the match exciting, but Banks dominated - the booking made her look like a world-beater, as she made Brooke decisively tap to the Banks Statement while the announcers put her over.

It seems, finally, like Sasha Banks is back. The company is trying to give her the same momentum that she had heading into WrestleMania, and since she's so great and has won the fans over permanently, it's working.

While the company probably won't put the title on Banks immediately (maybe she'll get a disqualification or countout win at Battleground), a huge SummerSlam victory at Barclays Center - the site of her 2015 classic with Bayley - seems likely.
