Sasha Banks has finally returned to the WWE Raw Women’s Championship picture against Alexa Bliss after a period in the wilderness following Wrestlemania 33 which even included a cringe-worthy angle involving Alicia Fox. Thankfully, though, The Boss is back where she belongs.
Little Miss Bliss, on the other hand, has been at the top of her game over the past year or so. Following an impressive start to life on Smackdown Live following the Brand Split where she won the WWE Smackdown Live Women’s Championship, she replicated the process by winning the WWE Raw Women’s Championship when she moved to Monday Night Raw during The Superstar Shakeup.

She has looked unstoppable ever since, even squashing former champion Bayley at WWE Extreme Rules 2017. But, she now faces her biggest threat in the form of Sasha Banks and it will be fascinating to see how this title contest between the two gifted women ends at WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017. It promises to be one hell of a ride.
So, without any further ado, here is our list of 5 possible finishes for the Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss WWE Raw Women’s Championship match at WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017:
#5 Bayley interferes to cost Sasha Banks the title
I thnk we can all agree that Bayley has been horribly booked on the main roster and looks like a shadow of the woman who set NXT alight during her time in WWE’s Developmental Program. But, things can still be salvaged with a change. The person who can help salvage things is none other than Sasha Banks.
While rumours of a possible heel turn for The Boss have been swirling around since even before Wrestlemania 33 in order to restart her feud from NXT against The Hugger, WWE’s creative team can take a different direction for the same feud.
They could have Bayley turn heel and cost Sasha the title and hence set up an interesting juxtaposition from their NXT rivalry. It could be just what the doctor ordered in order to get Bayley's career back on track.
#4 Bayley interferes to help Sasha Banks win the WWE Raw Women’s Championship
Another way for Bayley to be involved in this match is for her to repay Sasha Banks for her help when The Hugger was feuding against Charlotte Flair for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship back when The Queen was still on Monday Night Raw.
She could interfere on behalf of The Boss, take her revenge on Alexa Bliss for months of humiliation and help her old friend regain the WWE Raw Women’s Championship. While not ideal, it would signify a change in attitude from Bayley and it could be one that will help her climb back up the ladder to greatness.
It would also create an interesting storyline where Alexa Bliss is the one trying to right the wrongs she has suffered.
#3 Sasha Banks wins clean
With the topsy-turvy booking the WWE Raw Women’s Championship has experienced over the past twelve months, the WWE could just decide that Sasha Banks should be walking out of WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 as the champion. After all, this was the case during her feud against Charlotte Flair for the second half of 2016 as well.
It’s a cookie cutter formula and one that WWE creative could take as an easy way out. I definitely don’t think this is the right decision as there needs to be some changes compared to a rinse and repeat formula from last year.
#2 Alexa Bliss gets counted out or disqualified
Alexa Bliss doesn’t need to win on Sunday at WWE Great Balls of Fire 2018 in order to leave the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, as the WWE Raw Women’s Championship. Her status as the champion coming into the match gives her the champion's advantage meaning titles can only change hands if she is defeated via pinfall or submission.
This way, the feud can be built all the way to Summerslam 2017 and maybe even beyond as The Boss hunts down Little Miss Bliss in order to regain her place at the top of the WWE Raw Women’s Division while ensuring Alexa still maintains her momentum.
It’s certainly one of the more interesting options available to end this match and one that can help elevate both women to greatness.
#1 Alexa Bliss retains by hook or by crook
Alexa Bliss is possibly the best women’s wrestler on the WWE’s main roster today She is amazing on the mic and takes her work as a heel very very seriously. She’s a win-at-all- costs wrestler and that could be what allows her to win this match against Sasha Banks and retain her WWE Raw Women’s Championship.
A dirty win can help set the stage for future rematches and build the feud from a slow boil to a hot as hell affair culminating in the Biggest Party of the Summer at Summerslam 2017.
