WWE Backlash 2018: 10 Things That Must Happen

4. Nia Jax Wins Clean Against Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss deserves a quick shout out for her "Moment Of Bliss" promos on Raw. Yes, they're still pushing the same old body-shaming/bullying thing, but Bliss is putting in verbal performances a million times better than her cringeworthy "This Is Your Life" stuff from last year.

As great as her promos are though, they're not a good enough reason to make her the new Raw Women's Champ.

Nia Jax is right at the beginning of her run as a babyface and deserves the chance to show what she can do against someone other than Bliss post-Backlash. By switching the belt again now, WWE would be telling Nia that she's not a long-term solution in the face role.

A clean win for Jax is the best bet here. Perhaps, if WWE feel adventurous on the night, having Ronda Rousey run out to "save" Nia from Bliss and Mickie James would give the champion even more shine and hint at a Rousey vs. Jax match.
