Women’s Division Match: Nia Jax vs Sasha Banks
No matter what the results of both women’s matches are at Fastlane, it’s clear that the WWE is looking to make the RAW Women’s Championship match at Wrestlemania 33 a fatal 4-way between these two, Charlotte, and Bayley. It makes sense, right? Charlotte is already a five-time champion, Banks a 3-time champion, Bayley’s the current champion, and Jax has been on an absolute tear of late, defeating Banks on the Royal Rumble pre-show and then pinning Bayley on the most recent episode of RAW. They all have a claim to the title.
The only one trending downwards though is Banks. That’s why Sunday’s rematch with Jax is huge for her. Another loss at the hands “The Monster” will officially knock her out of title contention. It’s been clear that Bayley is the No. 1 babyface on RAW and Banks has taken a step back and that will most likely come to a head at some point but for the time being, Banks needs a good performance at Fastlane.
So how can Banks walk out if this match with a win with Jax still looking strong? It’s going to take a count-out/disqualification or some type of craftiness from “The Boss”. I’m going with the latter. Look for Banks to use her cunning instincts and beat Jax with a tricky pinning combination.
Winner: Sasha Banks
