10 Booking Steps For WWE Monday Night Raw

5. Nikki Bella Becomes Longest Reigning Divas Champ

Right now, it makes sense that Nikki Bella will eclipse AJ Lee's record and become the longest reigning WWE Divas Champion in history. Why wouldn't WWE take this step? Lee isn't going to be coming back any time soon, or so it seems, and Bella is clearly someone who the company favour as a leading light of the division. On Raw, she's set to clash with Charlotte for the title. Clearly, there's 2 different paths the writing squad could take here. Firstly, as aforementioned, they could have Nikki Bella retain and celebrate as a dominant heel. Conversely, Charlotte could be the one to spoil her big party and become the new Divas Champion. Both are agreeable, but there's mileage out of Nikki keeping a running total on her lengthy reign. During the upcoming Raw title bout, Sasha Banks could become involved, costing Charlotte the match. This is exactly the kind of self-serving thing 'The Boss' character would do, cruelly disabling her peer's chances at glory. Why wouldn't Banks want to be the one to end Bella's title reign herself, thus knocking her off the perch and replacing her?
