10 New Directions After WWE Money In The Bank 2018

8. Alexa Bliss As Raw Women's Champ

Several outcomes, including a non-finish between Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax or Natalya winning MITB then turning heel on her ex-UFC pal, were proposed before MITB. One that wasn't? Pint-sized Alexa Bliss grabbing the briefcase then cashing in the same night on Jax after smashing both champ and challenger.

Alexa's devious facial expression as she stood on the entrance ramp posing with her title was money. Few do the vindictive character in WWE better than Bliss, and she excels as a bully.

The natural thing for WWE to do here is resume the old Bliss vs. Jax rivalry. That's going to be tricky, because Nia didn't exactly come across like a blushing champion when building towards the match with Ronda. In fact, she actually bullied someone herself, and that could make crocodile tears due to Alexa's actions a hard sell.

Still, it's hard to argue that Bliss deserves the title again. She's blossomed into a real gem, and she's one of the most reliable women on WWE's books.
