5. Raw Women’s Championship

The last few months have seen current Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, and former Champion Sasha Banks go at it. Everything has been centered around the two of them, with the other women of Raw seemingly an afterthought. Even women like Bayley and Nia Jax have been treading water at times, but that all needs to change, starting at Survivor Series.

At Survivor Series, Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley, Nia Jax and Alicia Fox will combine to make the Raw Women’s team to face the SmackDown Women’s team comprising Nikki Bella, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Carmella, and Naomi. Current feuds have to be placed aside, with the better of the collective group the more important feature right now.

Coming out of that Survivor Series match, we need to see Bayley going at it with Charlotte for the Women’s title. Perhaps we see Charlotte walk out on Bayley during the match, when her teammate needs her the most. We also need to see Sasha and Nia Jax come to blows during the match, with Nia coming away as the monster heel she needs to be portrayed as.

Following Survivor Series we have the four woman paired off, with Bayley going forward to challenge Charlotte at the RoadBlock PPV in December, with the title on the line. We have the hottest babyface in the company heading for her first one on one match for the Women’s title, against the hottest heel in the Women’s Division on Raw, this should be one hell of a match.

With Charlotte in the ring awaiting Bayley, we cut backstage to see Nia Jax beating the life out of the challenger. Jax screams at Bayley, and then tells her that the next woman to walk out with that title will be Nia Jax, not Bayley. Bayley cannot make her title match, and Charlotte is awarded the win due to a no contest.

The following night on Raw we are told that Bayley is not here, she’s still in hospital after the beating from Nia. Charlotte stands smugly in the ring and tells Bayley that she had her chance and couldn’t make the match, so she won’t be getting another shot.

Whilst all this has been going on we’ve had Sasha being continually beaten down by Nia Jax. Each week they come to some kind of blows, with Jax always seemingly getting the better of her smaller opponent. The final straw comes when Sasha snaps after seeing Bayley be beaten down before the match with Charlotte. Sasha tells Jax that she will destroy her and then help her friend Bayley get revenge.

At the Royal Rumble, we have a heated match between Sasha and Jax, with the chance to be number one contender to Charlotte’s title on the line. The one small problem is the fact that Charlotte is the referee for the match, and we find out that Charlotte paid off Nia to attack Bayley before the match at RoadBlock. During the match at the Rumble, Nia is well in control of the fight and looks set to become the number one contender.

Charlotte doesn’t want to face Jax though, so she has another plan up her sleeve. With Jax in control, out comes Charlotte’s protege Dana Brooke, who combines with Charlotte to take out Jax. That leads to some familiar music playing, and Bayley makes her first appearance since RoadBlock to chase Dana away from the ring. Bayley then attacks Charlotte, before draping the beaten down Sasha on top of Jax and then using Charlotte’s hand to count the three.

Sasha is the new Number One Contender. Bayley is back and better than ever. Mia Jax is a furious monster. Charlotte is the cowardly heel champion who has so many people after her title. Following the interference strewn match at the Rumble, Mick Foley announces that we’ll have a tag match at FastLane. Having seen Nia in cahoots with Charlotte to take out Bayley, it’ll be Nia Jax and Charlotte against Bayley and Sasha.

That match comes around, with Nia and Charlotte having attacked each other on the preceding episodes of Raw, with Bayley and Sasha just standing back to watch the chaos unfold. Heading into the match it seems like we have one big mess. The match goes smoothly, with all four women getting their moment to shine. It all ends with another massive mess.

Nia refuses to take the tag from Charlotte, Sasha takes advantage and attacks the champion. Bayley drags Nia off the apron and takes her into a brawl through the crowd. Dana again gets involved in helping out Charlotte, who pins Sasha to win the match for her team.

Two weeks on Raw, all four women are called to the ring by Mick Foley. They are told that the current situation cannot continue, there needs to be a clean finish to a match to determine who really is the number one woman on Raw. He follows that with the announcement that at WrestleMania we will see Charlotte defend her title against Sasha Banks. And against Bayley. And against Nia Jax. A Fatal Four Way match that could go on to steal the show at WrestleMania.
