10 New Directions After WWE Money In The Bank 2018

6. Friction Between Ronda Rousey & Natalya

Natalya was last seen being cracked with a superkick by Ember Moon in the women's Money In The Bank match. After that, she had the rest of the night off, and presumably wasn't watching when Alexa Bliss interrupted her "good friend" Ronda Rousey's first ever one-on-one WWE match.

There are two questions to pose here:

Firstly, why wasn't Nattie keeping a keen eye on her chum's milestone moment? Secondly, where the hell was she when Alexa Bliss was swinging for the fences with her MITB briefcase and costing Ronda the chance to become Raw Women's Champ? That must have been one hell of a kick from Moon.

Logically, Rousey would be a little disappointed that Natalya didn't have her back during such an important match or show face at all. That could be the catalyst for growing tensions between both friends, leading to a match between them in time for SummerSlam.

Hell, Ronda needs something to do on the biggest pay-per-view this summer.
