On Monday night, the TLC pre-show was given some much-needed star quality, as it was announced that Sasha Banks will be taking on Alicia Fox in Minnesota. The two performers are currently in limbo at the moment as they’re both out of the title picture. Their feud has really picked up speed over the past few weeks and this Sunday’s match provides us with a number of potential outcomes.

With the Raw Women’s division getting the addition of Asuka on Sunday, all the female competitors on the show are desperately trying to find their place on the show. A win at TLC for either woman will go a long way in establishing themselves back into title scene.

Here are 5 possible finishes to Sasha Banks vs. Alicia Fox at TLC.


#5 Sasha Banks goes over clean

Some may not agree with this, but the facts don’t lie - Sasha Banks is the most popular female competitor in the WWE today. She sells merchandise and has millions of fans online, and it also doesn't hurt that her cousin is Snoop Dogg.

Regardless, alongside Charlotte, Sasha Banks has made history for the women’s division in recent years and she’s become a prized asset for the company.

Sasha is even more valuable to the company now that rumours are swirling around that Nia Jax has reportedly walked out of the company. The WWE now need Banks’ star power more than ever as she will have to help carry the division again.

Alicia Fox tapping out the Bank Statement for the third successive time would firmly establish the Boss as the more elite talent of the two.

#4 Alicia & Sasha brawl

Such is the tension between the two, this match might not even get started on Sunday. Fox is hurting from constantly being overlooked and Sasha is fuming that Fox attacked her from behind on Monday.

During the kick-off show, the two could cross paths backstage and completely go gung-ho for each other. This would then result in an all-out brawl that’s more even than the one that took place on Monday.

The brawl gives the feud more depth and allows the two to continue their rivalry into the foreseeable future.

#3 An Alicia Fox surprise clean win

Despite being a WWE wrestler for close to 10 years, Alicia Fox firmly comes into this bout as the underdog. She’s been hugely underlooked in her WWE career and a clean win against Banks would do wonders for her profile.

It’s crazy to think that someone with her athletic ability, aura and great acting skills isn’t featured more on WWE programming.

One fact to back that up is that Fox only just received her first piece of merchandise in the company last week! The officials don’t seem to value her but a win against Banks could make her stock rise immensely.

The fact that Banks has tapped out to Fox two weeks in a row on Raw, makes the surprise win even more appealing.

#2 Bayley costs Sasha

This is the storyline the WWE Universe has been waiting for close to two years. It’s no secret that since their days in NXT, Bayley and Sasha have been inseparable.

On social media, they’re all over each other’s pages, and in the ring, their chemistry is there for all to see. Currently, Bayley is not scheduled for anything on Sunday, so this provides her with the perfect opportunity to gain some spotlight.

Bayley could come down to show her support, however, her presence instead would lead to Banks being distracted, allowing Fox to pick up the win. This could be a pivotal moment in planting seeds for a mega Bayley vs. Sasha Wrestlemania match.

#1 Alicia Fox gets DQ’d

On Monday night we saw how incensed Fox was after being defeated for a second week in a row. She attacked "The Boss" from behind during her post-match interview and left her laying backstage.

She even went as far as putting her hands on an official; such was her frustration. Fox should carry that frustration and the huge chip on her shoulder into Sunday and lay waste to "The Boss" again.

What better way to catch the attention of officials and grab the attention of the women’s division than by taking out a 4-time Raw women’s champion. As Sasha makes her way to the ring on Sunday, Fox could come out from the peripheries of the camera shot and hit her from behind.

The match would go on to commence, and the babyface Sasha would then make a heroic comeback until Fox decides she’s had enough and uses an object to take show her anger at "The Boss". This would garner much heat to Alicia, but also doesn't put a clean loss to her resume.
