WWE Raw 5 Predictions: Bayley and Sasha Banks Leave Raw

4. Natalya Gets Added To The Raw Women’s Title Match at Extreme Rules
ALL THE WAY FROM LAKE TAHOE! Since Ronda Rousey is suspended for 30 days due to her brutal actions against Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, Natalya found it fitting to obtain retribution for her good friend and training partner, Ronda Rousey, and join forces with Nia Jax to take down 5 feet of fury. Last week, she did just that by making the Raw Women’s Champion TAP OUT!! Tonight, I foreshadow a tag match ensuing between (1) Alexa Bliss and Mickie James, and (2) Natalya and Nia Jax, in which Natalya just might make Alexa Bliss TAP OUT again. That could mean only one thing: TITLE SHOT!
In order to avoid repeating the bully storyline between Bliss and Jax all over again at Extreme Rules, I think the plan could be to include Natalya in the title match for a more unpredictable triple threat.
It would be more unpredictable for 3 alternative reasons.
(1) Alexa Bliss can retain her title by pinning Natalya instead of Nia Jax, who was already humiliated enough from the MITB cash-in loss. She can then proceed to feud with Ronda Rousey at Summerslam.
(2) Nia Jax can win the Raw Women’s Title back and force a triple threat with Alexa Bliss and Ronda Rousey. Nia Jax still has unfinished business with Ronda Rousey from MITB and it would be fitting to keep her in the title picture for Summerslam.
(3) Natalya can win the Raw Women’s Title at Extreme Rules and turn this whole feud into a fatal 4 way frenzy at Summerslam with Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, and Ronda Rousey. Due to her friendship with Ronda Rousey, alliance with Nia Jax, and beef with Alexa Bliss, it would also be fitting to see her involved in the title picture at Summerslam. All of these outcomes are probable due to the storylines that built up among these 4 women.
No matter the outcome, adding the cat lady to the Raw Women’s Title match will be new and more intriguing for the fanbase to invest in. It will also maintain Natalya’s relevancy while Ronda Rousey is gone. Furthermore, she could even get the job done for Ronda and end Alexa Bliss’ title reign once and for all. Meow!
