6. Mickie James
Folks, I believe that in a perfect world, chocolate brownie sundaes are an acceptable breakfast meal, my leprosy doesn’t keep me from wearing jorts, and Mickie James has another run as a champion in WWE.
I was extremely excited when the impromptu match against Asuka was announced, as I got throwbacks to the excellent match they both put on at NXT TakeOver Toronto a couple of years ago.
The quintessential, solid pro that she is, Mickie put on a flawless heel match that made Asuka look like a million bucks. Not that it’s surprising, as Mickie has been consistently good since the 00’s. Give her the strap for another (final?) run.

5. Nia Jax
Yes, it was catty.
Yes, it was cringy.
Yes, they were sharing secrets in front of live broadcast cameras like we’re watching Nitro in 1996.
But you have to give credit: that “Mean Girls” angle is doing undeniable wonders for Nia’s standing with the fans and raising her stock exponentially. Did you hear the pop she got when she decided to run up the ramp to get at Alexa? Nia’s face turn has been executed from out of nowhere, but it feels perfect.
And boy, that banshee wail? Did anyone know she could produce such a sound? That was bonkers.
