10 Burning Questions For WWE Backlash 2018

7. Will Nia Squash Bliss?

One of two things will happen with the Raw Women’s Championship: Nia Jax will obliterate Alexa Bliss to close out that chapter, or Bliss will cheat her way back to the title.

So which is more likely to happen? Jax toppled Bliss at WrestleMania to exact revenge in a thrown-together, but pretty decently executed storyline of Alexa playing the bully. Paying that off as quickly as they did muted this writer’s earlier criticism of the angle and finally gave Nia that elusive title win.

There’s a possibility that Nia just runs through Bliss to end this angle and become a dominant champion, perhaps as a credible challenge for Ronda Rousey when she’s ready for the task. But there’s also a chance that Bliss, whom WWE brass clearly loves, gets the title back on Sunday and gets yet another run with the strap.

It’s a toss-up here, but you could argue that Jax already got her revenge, so she can afford to lose the title.
