Alexa Bliss vs. All Available Women for the SmackDown Women’s Championship
As I said earlier, there will be three matches featuring the Women Superstars on the WrestleMania card this year. Out of the three matches, I see this one being the women’s match to be featured on the Kickoff Show.
With John Cena and Nikki Bella, there is no way they end up on the Kickoff Show. Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Bayley are the top players in the Women’s Division, so it’s difficult to see them on the Kickoff Show either. So it leaves this one, which I think should be on the main card anyway. If anything else it’s a sacrificial lamb for the SmackDown brand.

This match poses some surprises, which I am excited about. There will be possible returns and debuts in this match – anyone from Naomi to possibly Asuka. The SmackDown Women’s Division has absolutely flourished and created a huge Superstar in Alexa Bliss. Seeing Mickie James return to add to the division has been superior, and there has been some concentration on those such as Natalya in recent months.
If there are any championships changing hands, it’s potentially this one. If Asuka debuts, that’s it, folks. But if not, I could see Naomi or James taking the championship away from Bliss. There is a ton of potential in this match up and it will not disappoint no matter the outcome.
