5. “The Goddess” Retains

This can’t happen, right? This has been a very long time coming for Nia Jax, and the WWE has done a tremendous job in the long-term storytelling in the feud between she and Bliss. Dating all the way back to the Summer in the infancy stages of Bliss’s now almost full year of being champion, she essentially employed Jax as her personal protection against the likes of Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Mickie James. With the promise that her loyalty would eventually land her a title shot, Jax kept up the charade for the second half of 2017 but the pay off never happened.

Throughout 2018 Bliss continued to avoid wrestling Jax under the guise that they were still friends. But that all ended on the March 12th episode of RAW when backstage surveillance showed Bliss insulting Jax, body-shaming her to Mickie James as the two howled away. This sent Jax into a frenzy and she is now hell-bent on not the just winning Bliss’s belt, but exacting revenge on her former “friend”. In the process, this has turned Jax into a baby face for the first time in her career and is poised for her first championship in the WWE.

So that’s it, right? There’s no way that after this long, protracted story, one that has culminated in one of the most insulting segments in WWE programming over the past decade ends in a Bliss win, correct? Well, don’t be so sure. According to sportskeeda.com, Jax is billed to face Asuka in a number of post-WrestleMania house shows. If both win at Mania, and it seems fairly certain that Asuka will, that would mean a champion vs champion feud between the two which makes virtually no sense for two people who just won championships. If one is going to lose Sunday, it’s going to be Jax.

It would be controversial, but don’t be shocked to see “Little Miss Bliss” walk out of New Orleans with the belt.
