5 Women who could win the SmackDown #1 Contenders Battle Royal

#2 Nia Jax may make a statement or break some faces during the SmackDown Battle Royal

Nia Jax has nearly ended Bayley's title reign before

Nia Jax is at a strange point right now, which could actually work out in her favor regarding the SmackDown Battle Royal. On WWE RAW, Jax was suspended by Pat Buck after failing to apologize for attacking him the week prior. Jax, not one to take bad news well, laid him out with a headbutt.

So now, at best, Jax has been suspended from Monday nights for a very long time. However, that doesn't mean she's suspended from SmackDown. Loopholes, they'll get you every time. Nia Jax is already a former WWE RAW Women's Champion, so what if she was looking for another prize to add to the trophy case?

What if she was looking for another brand to dominate? What if she was looking to get another shot at Bayley, who, for those of you that don't remember, was one of the biggest challenges to the former Hugger's NXT Women's Championship reign. Bayley barely escaped from that match with the gold.

Years later, Jax is an entirely different kind of WWE Superstar, and one that's looking to make a statement against the SmackDown Women's Champion.

Plus, wouldn't she just love to rub this kind of thing in Pat Buck's face? Honestly, this one writes itself, and could lead to an interesting tweener-like transition for Jax. Picking up the SmackDown Women's Championship would be the icing on the cake.
