WWE Evolution 2018: Ranking Each Battle Royal Participant’s Chances Of Winning
1. Nia Jax
To me, Nia Jax is by far the favorite to win the Evolution Battle Royal. She had a huge moment this year at WrestleMania 34 when she won the Raw Women’s Championship against Alexa Bliss for her first title win in WWE.
It was long overdue, and while the storyline itself could have been done better, Bliss and Jax did their best and made that storyline feel real. So when Jax triumphantly held the title over a fallen Bliss, who did her best to contain her actual happiness for her real-life friend’s accomplishment, it was hard not to feel a sense of joy mixed with relief.
Nia is positioned as one of the most dominant women in WWE, so she should be able to claim a historic, notable battle royal win like this. Even though she’s already faced Rousey before at Money in the Bank, that match didn’t have a definitive conclusion due to Bliss’s interference. Jax would have lost in the armbar, but she never tapped before Bliss cashed in.
That led to another match between Bliss and Nia at Extreme Rules, but fans never got to see another bout between Jax and Rousey, who had been tearing down the house. Nia keeps getting better and better, and it would be nice to see her pick another marquee win.
