If you have a minute to spare, after you're done reading this article, be sure to click on the video linked above and check out Korey Gunz and Tom Colohue talking about their picks and predictions for the Royal Rumble. One of the possibilities discussed during the course of the podcast is that Nia Jax could return as a babyface and just take on Sasha Banks and Bayley to even the odds for Lacey Evans.

As cool as Lacey Evans is and as much as the crowd seems to root for her, I just don't think that she's ready to be the SmackDown Women's Champion just yet because, all said and done, Bayley is on fire at the moment. So, assuming she comes up short at the Royal Rumble, Nia Jax could be a very interesting opponent for Bayley.
Nia Jax could make a huge return this week and announce herself as a contender for the Royal Rumble. And if she wins the Royal Rumble, she could actually swerve us and choose Becky Lynch as her opponent for WrestleMania 36.
