Last week on the Wild Card Finals in Smackdown Live, we saw the Women’s championship match between Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss. The finishing moments saw a masked La Luchadora interfering from nowhere to distract Becky Lynch. This allowed Bliss to capitalize by connecting with a DDT and retaining her title.
This also indicated the fact that the feud between Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss is over. It was already a stretched feud for quite sometime now. These two have been battling over the Smackdown Women’s championship ever since the Backlash PPV. So, going forward in the year 2017, we will be getting new championship feud.
So, it is certain that we will be getting a new contender to challenge the wicked witch of WWE for her title. According to a report from Wrestling Observer Radio, Nikki Bella will be the one who will enter into the championship picture after a long time.
The source stated that the masked woman who caused Becky the championship was none but a returning Mickie James. Due to her actions, she will start a rivalry against the Irish Lass-kicker. On the other hand, Nikki Bella will most likely be Alexa’s next opponent for the title.
However, prior to that, Nikki has to finish her ongoing saga with Natalya which is extremely personal. They have been friends in the WWE over ten long years. But, Nattie cost Nikki her spot at Survivor Series and then trash talked about Nikki’s relationship with John Cena to take it to the next level.
The Bella Queen should come out victorious in this rivalry to head into the title picture next. The Wrestlemania season is approaching real quick and the blue brand will need the biggest name on their brand to perform for the title at the biggest event of the year. The source also hinted that Nikki Bella will be the champion heading into Wrestlemania 33.
