7. Banks Sends A Statement To Nia Jax

Nia Jax has been dominating Sasha Banks of late, which is WWE's time-worn way of telegraphing a victory for The Boss at the upcoming pay-per-view. With Sasha presumably having an important role to play in the women's title picture come WrestleMania, it makes sense to give her a boost before the big show.

Jax, like Braun Strowman, has steadily shed her technical limitations to emerge as a legitimate heel threat and a genuine asset to the red brand. At this point, fans can consider the dominant Samoan as a real obstacle to the diminutive Banks, so a clean loss would be a boon for a former champ experiencing something of a recent decline.

Exactly how this match precipitates Sasha's inevitable heel turn isn't clear; perhaps it is a way to keep a lid on a transition everybody knows is coming?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
