WWE Battleground: 9 Match Predictions After Money In The Bank

8. Paige vs Nikki Bella - Lumberjill Match

The Bellas are heels again are two months of babyface exploits, WWE expecting the fans to swallow yet another poorly-explaining character change for the troublesome twins. With it, the talk of the "Bella Empire" has resurfaced. This angle was hinted at in the lead-up to Wrestlemania, with Paige and AJ seeking to present an alternative side of the Divas division to the supposed Bella Empire, despite the WWE doing a poor job in representing the Bellas having any kind of stranglehold over the other divas. It's a story that's been all tell and no show, thus far. But, since the Bellas resorted to a Dusty Finish (RIP Dream) in order to have Nikki retain her title, whereby the bell sounded but Paige didn't become champion, expect this storyline to continue, and encompass the entire divas' locker room in doing so. At MITB, the announcers played up that neither Paige or Nikki have many friends amongst the ladies backstage, reinforced by footage of all the divas watching the match on a monitor, grumpily. The WWE can harness this apparent rift in the division, by booking a Lumberjill match for the title at Battleground, having all divas at ringside being forced to choose which of the unpopular ladies to attack and which to defend. With Charlotte likely to appear in time to challenge for the title at Summerslam, expect Nikki to beat Paige in this instance.
