The biggest storylines in the WWE will play out before our very eyes at WWE Money In The Bank 2018 this Sunday in what promises to be a memorable show.
WWE Money In The Bank 2018 is shaping up to be a defining show for both Raw and SmackDown as two superstars will earn the opportunity of a lifetime, a guaranteed world title opportunity at any given time for up to one year.
There will be a Mr. as well as a Ms. Money in the Bank following Sunday, but there are several other important matches on the card as well. Here are the three biggest storylines heading into WWE Money In The Bank 2018.
3. Ronda Rousey Grounding Nia Jax
The WWE has already dubbed it the biggest Raw Women’s Championship match in history, but will Nia Jax vs. Ronda Rousey live up to that hype? It has the potential for sure in a match between arguably the two most powerful and dominant women on the WWE roster.
After moving past the Alexa Bliss roadblock, Jax challenged Rousey to a match and at Money In The Bank, The Irresistible Force will defend her title against The Rowdy One. Over the past few weeks, the two have not seen eye to eye and have been trying to gain the advantage heading into this Sunday.
Jax has been impressive over the past few months, but Rousey has gained the upper hand after her actions this past Monday on Raw. In a face-to-face, tensions grew and the drive for superiority took over between the two and after Jax temporarily caught Rousey by surprise, The Rowdy One countered with her devastating armbar.
It looked like Jax was going to break the hold, but Rousey kept it applied to the point where the Raw Women’s Champion tapped out. It was a huge symbolic and psychological development heading into Money In The Bank and could serve as foreshadowing one way or another. Maybe Rousey keeps that momentum up and wins the title, or maybe Jax learns from it and manages to hold firm next time.
Whichever way it goes, Rousey’s recent momentum should directly affect one of the biggest women’s matches in the WWE in some time.
