The RAW Women’s division is in limbo right now. Sasha and Charlotte’s feud has been done to death, and Bayley has beaten Charlotte decisively now, meaning she is no longer in contention for the belt. It also seems too late to kick-start a Sasha vs Bayley feud, by having The Boss turn on her best friend.

With that in mind, Nia Jax serves as the only believable contender to Bayley’s title, something that has already been foreshadowed on RAW and Fastlane recently. Their feud in NXT was great, and led to some of Jax’s better WWE matches, so a repeat in the run up to WrestleMania would be a good way to assert either woman’s dominance within the division.

We’ve seen the combination of Bayley vs Charlotte/Sasha vs Charlotte far too many times for it to be an enticing Mania match, so RAW’s women’s division could do with a shakeup following the events of Fastlane.
