2. La Luchadora Helps Bliss to Retain the Title
Bliss has done a great job with the Women’s title. The sneaky, arrogant heel persona is portrayed well by her. For that reason alone, one would expect her to hold on to the title at least until Royal Rumble. Besides, the more Lynch gets within touching distance of the gold, the better the storyline gets. When Lynch eventually recaptures the title, it would effective become a big deal.

Bliss would defend her title once again next week in a steel cage match. SmackDown has turned up the intensity in the women’s division lately and this would be the latest addition to that. Expect Bliss and Lynch to put on a stronger performance than their tables match at TLC. However, when the cage is finally raised, Bliss would retain her title courtesy of La Luchadora.
