Given Nia Jax's status as the next in line to challenge for Ronda Rousey's Raw Women's Title, it was the right call to have her become the sole survivor on Sunday. The problem is this though: Jax can't hope to top either Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair as credible opponents for Rousey.

Right now, there's a genuine feeling that fans want to see Lynch slap the lip gloss off Nia's face then resume her crusade against 'Ronnie' in time for WrestleMania. That, one hundred times more so than Jax vs. Rousey II, is a cool thought.

It might not be the plan.

There's an underlying fear Jax will be pushed as a callous heel who revels in fan hatred so she can be tarted up for Ronda at TLC. That'd actually be a small mercy, because a match between the pair at Royal Rumble carries even less interest than it would if it happened on December's show.
