Rhea Ripley to ruin massive match, star to snap over recent assault? - 4 finishes for Nia Jax vs Bianca Belair on WWE RAW
WWE Monday Night RAW will air later tonight on the USA Network. The big show is the brand's final edition ahead of this Saturday's Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event.
Several fun and exciting matches are scheduled for tonight's show, including a Tornado Tag, but one bout in particular has Survivor Series implications. Nia Jax will be going one-on-one with Bianca Belair ahead of their battle inside the WarGames structure at the big event.
Team Bianca Belair will feature Belair, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Naomi, and an unknown partner replacing Jade Cargill. They will take on Team Nia Jax which also features Tiffany Stratton, Candice LeRae, Raquel Rodriguez, and Liv Morgan.
The winner of tonight's bout will secure the advantage in WarGames, so all eyes are on this upcoming match. There are plenty of fun ways the bout could end and this list will break down some of the most likely, including one chaotic non-finish that would leave more questions than answers.
Below are four finishes for Nia Jax vs. Bianca Belair on WWE RAW.
#4. An angry Bianca Belair could snap and dominate Nia after Jade Cargill's assault
Bianca Belair is an amazing superstar. She is a former WWE Women's Champion, SmackDown Women's Champion, RAW Women's Champion, and the current Women's Tag Team Champion. With that being said, she's likely in a bad mood.
Things took a shocking turn on SmackDown when Jade Cargill was shown assaulted on a damaged car. Belair lost her Women's United States Championship qualifying match to check on the WWE star and now she may lose her Women's Tag Team Title depending on how long Jade is out.
As a result, Bianca could go into Monday Night RAW angry, especially if she thinks Nia Jax might be responsible. An angry Bianca is dangerous, even for Nia. If The EST snaps, she could shockingly maul Nia and dominate the champion, even hitting the KOD for the win.
#3. The WWE Women's Champion could squash The EST
Nia Jax in 2024 is not the same Nia Jax from the past. Ever since returning to WWE last year, and especially throughout the past 12 months, Jax has been better than ever. She is a true menace.
Her accolades speak for themselves. Not only did she win the 2024 Queen of the Ring Tournament, but she went on to capture the WWE Women's Title from Bayley at SummerSlam. Months later, she still holds the gold and nobody can dethrone her.
When Jax and Belair clash, there is a very real chance that Nia could shockingly squash Bianca. The EST might go in distracted and Nia has been dominant, which is a dangerous combination. If Bianca loses in minutes, it would shake the foundations of the women's division.
#2. Interference from Candice LeRae and Tiffany Stratton could allow Nia to win
Nia Jax has slowly formed a unique stable on WWE Friday Night SmackDown. First and foremost, she united with Tiffany Stratton. The two remain together, but now Candice LeRae is also in the fold.
Candice LeRae used to be affiliated with the now-released Indi Hartwell. While the two no longer teaming together is unfortunate, LeRae is in the best spot she's been in yet on WWE's main roster with this new alliance. Both she and Tiffany get a lot of exposure through Jax.
As such, they could help make sure Nia wins and their team has the advantage at Survivor Series: WarGames. Tiffany or Candice could rush out and distract the referee while the other nails Bianca from behind. Jax could then hit a Samoan Drop for the victory.
#1. Rhea Ripley and others could show up and cause chaos, with no official winner declared
Another option for the finish could be a non-finish. Instead of a decisive winner being determined on WWE Monday Night RAW, chaos could erupt and it could lead to the match ending as a no-contest.
Rhea Ripley is a menace and she's on a tear right now. There is a good chance the angry superstar could show up and interrupt the bout just to fight Nia. If this happens, other WWE stars such as Liv Morgan, Candice LeRae, and IYO SKY could get involved too. This would be insane and too much to handle, thus leading to the referee throwing the match out.
If this is the end result, it would leave more questions than answers. If neither team earns the advantage, how would it be decided? A pre-show match? Could a coin flip decide who gets the advantage? This finish could create a lot of intrigue.
