Michael Cole went into hype overdrive following Nia Jax pinning Becky Lynch. In fairness, the longtime WWE play-by-play man was 100% bang on the money: This was the biggest win of Nia's in-ring career for a long, long time. It also suggests that Jax is heading for a title shot rather soon.

It wouldn't be a shocker if she was called upon to challenge Rhea Ripley one-on-one in Australia at Elimination Chamber. WWE will be looking for an obvious heel threat to the gold when Rhea returns home, and Nia must count as a viable option going into that international PLE.

What about Becky then? Well, she'll come again. Lynch probs will get ultimate revenge on Jax in the end, then she'll power forward to WrestleMania for a crack at Ripley herself. Admittedly, this is all guesswork, because WWE has found it tough to unearth worthwhile challengers for Rhea.

2023 was a struggle. On that note...
