WWE Extreme Rules 2017: 10 Things That Must Happen

5. Alexa Bliss Retains Her Raw Women's Title

If Alexa Bliss is booked to lose her Raw Women's Title to Bayley right now, her confidence will be smashed. Struggling her way through segments and then losing on pay-per-view straight after could have dire consequences for one of the red brand's brightest female talents. Therefore, she must retain.

Bayley can always get another chance at Great Balls Of Fire on July 9, should WWE wish to program her opposite a heel Sasha Banks in time for SummerSlam. There are however signs that Bayley's 'girl next door' gimmick isn't quite catching fire on the main roster the same way it was on NXT, and that's a worry.

Meanwhile, Alexa's vindictive bitch guise may be stereotypically WWE, but it's one that works (when they don't book her in overly long verbal segments, that is). Give Bliss a confidence-boosting win here and have the spiteful little b*tch do it cheaply.

Hey, maybe Banks could do a run in if WWE are feeling brave.
