Nia Jax Challenges Charlotte

Nia Jax was involved in one of the more surprising matches of the night. Throughout the buildup to her match vs Sasha Banks, everyone assumed the match would at least be competitive. But as we saw, that wasn’t really the case.

Sasha got some offense in, but the match ended very abruptly. Nia’s Samoan drop was impressive and looked devastating, but it didn’t seem like a move that would end the match. The fact that it did exactly that against one of WWE’s most successful women says a lot about how WWE is trying to push Nia. With that in mind, her next step should be obvious.

Nia is probably going to set her sights on WWE Women’s Champion, Charlotte. That doesn’t necessarily mean the two will get a one-on-one match for the title since they’re the top heels in the Raw women’s division right now. But it does mean she could find herself in a triple threat involving Bayley or something along those lines. Either way, it’s clearly Nia’s time to ascend toward championship gold, and that’s exactly what we think she’ll do tonight.
