4b.) Nia Jax vs. Naomi [Grudge Match]

On last week’s WWE Raw, Naomi defeated Shayna Baszler in what was her first singles match since her return. If the women’s tag team championship match does not happen on this episode, the WWE can stall it until the PPV by booking Naomi to battle Nia Jax this week. Naomi will defeat Jax to continue her momentum with Lana and further develop their credibility as the next Women’s Tag Team Champions.

Naomi and Lana claimed that they have wanted to team up for a very long time, so this tag title opportunity should be a neat launching pad for their recent returns to the ring. Lana has had a notable rivalry with Jax over the past few months, but she is seeking revenge for when Jax injured her leg and put her out of action for a month. Naomi has seen the pain Lana has sustained and is willing to help her friend defy two bullies.

Prediction: Naomi

4a.) Shayna Baszler vs. Lana [Grudge Match]

On last week’s WWE Raw, Lana defeated Nia Jax in a tables match that trended worldwide thanks to Jax’s reaction to her backside crashing to the edge of the ring. If the women’s tag team championship match does not happen on this episode, the WWE can stall it until the PPV by booking Lana to battle Shayna Baszler this week. Lana will defeat Baszler to continue her momentum with Naomi and further develop their credibility as the next Women’s Tag Team Champions.

Nonetheless, it is unlikely that they will dethrone Baszler and Jax. Baszler and Jax recently won back the Women’s Tag Team Championships and it would be too soon to take the belts off of them. Baszler and Jax will very likely defend the titles against the future Dusty Rhodes Classic Winners, Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon, at the next NXT TakeOver. They eliminated Blackheart and Moon from the Royal Rumble and already planted the seeds for their match.

Prediction: Lana
