8 WWE SummerSlam 2018 Nightmares That Could Come True

5. Natalya Helps Alexa Bliss Pin Ronda Rousey

Nightmare: Alexa Bliss must pay for cashing in her Money In The Bank briefcase and spoiling Ronda Rousey's chances to become Raw Women's Champion two months ago. The fly in the ointment here is Natalya's sycophantic behaviour towards Ronda since she crashed the WWE roster.

At SummerSlam, the whole thing could be revealed as a jealousy-fuelled ruse by Nattie against Rousey's celebrity stardom. Just as Bliss did at MITB, Natalya might cost Ronda her championship dreams by attacking her and pulling Alexa across her limp body for the win.

Chances Of It Coming True: Arguable, but everyone and their granny can see a Natalya heel turn coming at some point.

The problem here isn't necessarily Nattie turning rogue on Rousey. No, it's more the idea that WWE would book Ronda to take a pinfall loss (even a screwy one) this early in her run. The first time Rousey is beaten via pin, it should be a star-making moment, not because they want to justify her next feud against Natalya.

WWE need to remember that Ronda Rousey can only be pinned for the first time once.
