Right after Jax delivered that punch and knocked Lynch out of Survivor Series, it put enormous heat on the former RAW Champ any time she entered an arena. When she picked up a mic and tried to speak, Jax experienced a loud chorus of boos. Lynch was starting to obtain top star status akin to when Stone Cold Steve Austin rose to the top of the WWF.

King Corbin has done the same with heat for most of his run over the last few years. At first, he was just annoying, but he did so well in his role that he used that disdain from the fans against them. If we tell him what we don't like about him, he's going to lean into that to continually anger fans.

Since the WWE Universe was already enraged that Jax's punch deprived us of Lynch vs. Rousey, it wouldn't be hard to revisit that. It's obviously more difficult now due to performing without crowds, but if the feud is saved for when things return to normal, then it would be perfect timing for Jax to target the Man.

Instead of volleying back and forth between heel and face like she did during her title run, they need to have Jax lean heavily into being a bully monster heel. She started to do that in her return match and if she did that to someone like Liv Morgan, it would make her even more hated. If Jax captured the title from Lynch, she would be even more of a heat magnet and the quest to have someone beat her would be a great angle.
