The animosity created between Ronda and Sasha feels very forced, which is what usually happens when two baby-faces are booked to face each other. It’s another placeholder feud for Ronda following Nia Jax and she is expected to roll through Sasha and finally begin her Road to WrestleMania.
I expect the match to be good but since the result is very much predictable, the feud hardly interests me. Maybe WWE could use this as an opportunity to finally turn Sasha Banks heel.
Who should win the match? Ronda Rousey should not lose here. She’ll be winning this and moving on to face Charlotte and Becky at WrestleMania.
Prediction: Ronda Rousey makes Sasha Banks tap out.
Match Rating Prediction: 3 out of 5 – The two women involved are phenomenal in the ring, but the lack of heat between the two just doesn’t do it for me.
WrestleMania Prediction: Sasha and Bayley make a push for the Women’s Tag Team Titles and Ronda Rousey resumes her rivalry with Charlotte and Becky.
