3 Interesting observations from this week's RAW (January 7, 2019)

#2 Sasha Banks might turn heel in the near future

Things are not always what they seem...

After beating Nia Jax in order to solidify herself as the #1 contender for the RAW Women's Championship, Sasha Banks will face Ronda Rousey at the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View for the title.

However, one thing that stands out here is the fact that both Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks are formidable babyfaces going into their one-on-one match.

Of course, Ronda has been part of face vs. face matches in the past (Natalya), but the very fact that the champion was written to mention Sasha Banks as the driving force of Monday Night RAW shows that there is a specific reason why the writers want Sasha to be the #1 contender for the title.

Also, Sasha Banks is known for being an effective heel in the past, and face vs. face feuds usually end with either of the two competitors turning heel.

Even if that isn't the case always, be sure to look out for this rivalry in the upcoming weeks, something interesting might just happen.
