10 Shocks WWE Could Pull At SummerSlam 2018

4. Ronda Gets Screwed

The Shock:

Alexa Bliss retains the RAW Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey following interference from Nia Jax. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," she could say, which doesn't really make sense, but then again, neither did Mickie James aligning with Alexa Bliss after she called her an old hag.

The Likelihood: 30%

There's more chance of Stephanie McMahon doing charity work without cameras around than there is of Alexa Bliss defeating Ronda Rousey cleanly, so, if she escapes Brooklyn with the RAW Women's Title intact, it will take some monumental chicanery. If years' worth of WWE storytelling have taught us anything, it's that women are conniving creatures who only feign friendship to get ahead in life, but the deeply sad news of Jim Neidhart's death means any Natalya turn would be as tasteless as it is poorly-received.

Since the idea of Mickie James doing a sort of RAW-level run-in is much too mundane for an attraction as special as Ronda, expect the Baddest Woman On The Planet to escape the clutches of the Worst Booked Wrestling Company On The Planet.
