Part of the Road to WrestleMania is setting the table for matches to take place at the big PPV. In the best situations, we get to see rivalries develop during a few months and finally get blown off at Mania.

Case in point, Nia Jax has been attacking Sasha Banks repeatedly, injuring and reinjuring her knee, knocking the three-time former Raw Women’s Champion down a couple pegs. Sunday, the two will square off at the Royal Rumble in a match that could easily set the table for Mania. The Boss can’t be 100%, so that opens the door for Jax to injure her further and sideline her even longer… maybe for about two months.

Since it seems like neither woman is going to be fighting for the Women’s Championship at Mania, it makes perfect sense to carry this feud over to WrestleMania, and Nia injuring Sasha again would help stretch things out. Will that happen?
