#3 How will WWE book the RAW Women's Championship following WrestleMania?
Reality forced WWE to call an audible leading up to WrestleMania 37. The obvious path for the RAW Women's Championship was Asuka defending against Charlotte Flair. Flair would have won the title again and sent Asuka down the card.
Flair contracted COVID before the Show of Shows, forcing WWE to have Rhea Ripley challenge and defeat Asuka. Since the Queen was the original plan, will they opt for a quick title swap? Could Money in the Bank offer up another potential scenario for a title swap?
Ripley may be the current RAW Women's Champion, but how long will it be before WWE thinks Charlotte Flair needs another reign? She has had many reigns but the duration of each title run has been short.
Money in the Bank seems like an opt-out for WWE so that they can book a title win for Flair while also having someone cash in on the Queen. It gives Flair another title reign while also a different name as RAW Women's Champ.
A huge X-factor in the division, albeit one that probably won't be in the title picture for a while, is Alexa Bliss. After weeks of claiming she was coming for the division, she made good on her promise by showing up on stage on RAW during a six-woman tag match.
Bliss is the most intriguing female in all of WWE due to her ability to try a different character. Most of the characters in the WWE's women's divisions are just extensions of personality traits. Some think they are better because of their names or abilities. Others think they are stronger than others, making them the best choices.
The former multi-time Champion is playing a psychological game with the women in WWE. She hasn't outright said who her first target will be, but she has a history with almost every woman in WWE.
Unfortunately for Bliss, however, the present isn't her time. With the likes of Asuka, Flair, Baszler and Jax all vying for Ripley, Bliss will have to bide her time for a title shot.
Since it's Money in the Bank season, Ripley will likely retain at WrestleMania Backlash by pinning Asuka (again). That would give Flair an excuse for a singles match at Money in the Bank. Flair will win the title in June. How long she holds it this time, however, is once again debatable.
