10 Booking Steps For WWE Monday Night Raw

4. Sasha Banks Claims Victory Over Paige Makes Her #1 Contender

Immediately after the Charlotte vs. Nikki Bella match, Sasha Banks could then claim her rightful place at #1 contender. Defeating Paige in a hard-fought contest this past week on Monday Night Raw, 'The Boss' has a legitimate claim to being close to the top of the mountain. Wins need to count for something in WWE, and Sasha's victory over Paige should be treated as crucial. By ruining Charlotte's big moment, Banks could claim that she's next in line for a shot at Nikki Bella. Straight away, this makes the Divas Title look more important, because everyone in the "female revolution" is vying hard to become the one to hold it next. Further to this, by putting emphasis on who gets to shout about breaking Nikki's long title reign, it makes that look more impressive. A Sasha Banks vs. Nikki Bella match at Night Of Champions would need to be built fairly quickly, but there'd be a story there quickly. Better yet, Charlotte could be inserted into proceedings, considering she never got a fair crack at the title. Whatever the case, there's a lot of scope for great upcoming Divas matches, which is an overwhelming positive.
