Needless to say, May wasn't the best month for WWE
#4 A very premature title shot?
Has WWE booked themselves into a corner?
Ronda Rousey had a fantastic showing at WrestleMania. She's been far more frequently seen on RAW than her MMA cohort, Brock Lesnar. She's even been a part of some Live Events and by all accounts, she was great in those matches. Yet, when it was announced that she was the Number 1 contender for the RAW Women's Championship, the IWC vehemently protested.

The match was made official at the NBC Upfronts. Nia Jax will defend her RAW Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey at Money in the Bank. Not only will it be Rousey's first televised singles match but also her first title shot.
Since then, Nia Jax has shown some heel tendencies and to the horror of many who bought into her as a babyface, some bullying tendencies as well. It remains to be seen if WWE will put the strap on Rousey or if they will book a disqualification finish to make Rousey look strong while keeping the belt on Nia Jax.
