#4 A Match with Nia Jax
Talking of Nia Jax, the former NXT superstar took to Twitter the day after the Rumble and tweeted the following: 'Cool she's here... I guess 30 women making history can just be forgotten', in reference to Rousey's post-Rumble debut. While many sites are claiming this is a shoot, it seems unlikely that Nia would be silly enough to undermine one of the biggest signings in recent WWE history, especially when there is so much media attention on the product right now.
No, what would be more likely though, is this being a work, and the WWE going down the old 'earn your stripes' route with Rousey during her early days in the company. Make no mistakes about it, the WWE will want to position Rousey as their biggest star in the women's division and they will try to get as much babyface sympathy for her in the early runnings as possible. One way to do this would be to have the women's locker room reject her as a competitor and for her to have to go out and prove herself between the ropes. Everyone loves a plucky underdog, even if that plucky underdog is one of the meanest women on the face of the earth.

Nia would be the perfect locker room bully to whom Rousey has to prove herself and I don't think the company would think twice about having Jax do the business for Ronda in her debut match. Nia is on fire right now, though, and a face turn seems imminent, so this could prove to be a risky move.
