4. Will Nia Jax win and cash in on Becky Lynch?

WWE fans have been waiting for Nia Jax and Becky Lynch to begin a rivalry on Raw, since it only seems natural for Vince McMahon and the company to pivot to this program, given the past.

There are many fans who dislike Nia for what happened before Survivor Series 2018, when Nia became “The Facebreaker”. WWE tried to get as much heat on Jax after the incident, and the iconic image of a bloodied Becky in the stands may have helped accelerate her own superstardom.

Lynch remains the Raw Women’s Champion more than one year after her triumph over Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the main event of WrestleMania 35. It would be wild for Nia Jax to be the one to end her reign by cashing in.

Shayna Baszler, whom Lynch defeated at WrestleMania 36 in a Raw Women’s Title match, is still the favorite to win at WWE Money in the Bank 2020. However, Jax would be an intriguing option, and she had her own high degree of success at MITB two years ago when she and Rousey were wrestling a classic before former rival Alexa Bliss interrupted with an immediate cash-in.

Jax would get massive heat for cashing in on Lynch, and since WWE like to go with the move that creates the most discussion, they could go this route and save Shayna’s revenge on Becky for a later date.
