Smackdown Women's Champion Becky Lynch will be making the first defense of her title in a match with Alexa Bliss, and it could easily be great. The NXT alumnae are both extremely talented, and a decent bit of time to show what they can do will ensure that the fans really get into the contest.

Ultimately, though, Becky is the favorite to win - but where will she go from there? Eva Marie was rumored to be crowned the first Smackdown Women's Champion, but she ended up missing the match for the title because she was suspended for a Wellness Policy violation. Now that her suspension is done, could she finally come back and make her designs on the title known?

Not likely. As reported last month, Eva Marie has signed on to play a role in the upcoming Nicolas Cage thriller Inconceivable, which is scheduled to start filming in October. While it is possible that she can work around the movie shooting (and in all likelihood, her role won't be that large and she won't be filming for too long), it's a lot more probable that she'll make a full-time return after the movie is done.
