WWE will now start building up towards SummerSlam 2021

#9 Rhea Ripley vs. Alexa Bliss (WWE RAW)

Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley could engage in a feud next on WWE RAW

At WWE Money in the Bank 2021, Rhea Ripley put her RAW Women’s Championship on the line against Charlotte Flair. This was the third meeting between the two superstars during their extended championship feud, and The Queen finally managed to pick up a historic win. Flair is now a 14-time champion, extending her record as the most decorated female superstar in WWE history.

Given that Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair have been feuding for over three months, the creative team might push the former champion into other feuds. She could be involved in a rivalry with Alexa Bliss. Ripley was the one who unceremoniously eliminated Bliss from Royal Rumble, which first planted the seeds of their potential rivalry on WWE RAW.

Bliss relies on mind games, whereas Ripley trusts her brutality against all odds. It would be interesting to see how these two WWE Superstars will compete against each other when neither can play in one area of expertise. Moreover, Bliss and Ripley can engage in a compelling narration even without a championship on the line.

#10 Natalya and Tamina vs. Shotzi and Nox (WWE SmackDown)

Nox and Shotzi have been great on WWE SmackDown so far

Former NXT Superstars Shotzi and Nox made their WWE main roster debut earlier this month. Both superstars were involved in separate angles on the Black and Gold brand, making their sudden call-up look all the more surprising. However, it must be said that both Shotzi and Nox have been impressive as a tag team ever since they arrived on WWE SmackDown.

They faced Natalya and Tamina in a non-title match and picked up a massive win over the reigning Women’s Tag Team Champions. They defeated Natalya and Tamina again in a tag team match on WWE SmackDown’s final show before the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Based on these results, they can soon challenge Tamina and Natalya for the tag team titles.

WWE SmackDown Women’s Division took a significant blow when Bayley sustained an injury and was ruled out of action for nine months. The Blue brand desperately needs new superstars to step up and help create more exciting rivalries.

Even if Shotzi and Nox don’t win the tag team titles, the rivalry will help keep the spotlight on two talented superstars and allow the WWE Universe to see what they have to offer.
