A big Raw Women's Championship No.1 Contenders match has been announced for this coming Monday night, as NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax and Natalya are set to square off in a Triple Threat Match. The winner will take on Asuka for the title at WWE Backlash.
We fully expected Jax to be The Empress of Tomorrow's first challenger after the two came to blows this past Monday on Raw, so she will most likely walk away victorious here. The Queen has to be involved in everything these days - even when she's already holding a title - so her involvement comes as no surprise. Why is Natalya in the match? To take the pin of course!
It is somewhat surprising that Shayna Baszler is nowhere near this, but then WWE is probably saving her as Asuka's opponent for SummerSlam. That should be a match worth waiting for, but we're not quite as enthused by the prospect of The Empress working around Nia Jax while doing her best not to get injured.
Who will walk away with a Raw Women’s Championship opportunity? Tune in to Raw this Monday at 8/7 C on USA to find out.
