5 Takeaways from WWE Backstage (April 7th, 2020)

#2 The future of the women's division

Is Jax going to look for the Man now that she's back?

In addition to WrestleMania, the ensuing RAW is always highly anticipated due to returns and debuts. This year saw the return of Nia Jax from double knee surgery on the RAW after 'Mania. Paige said that Jax "was at the WWE Performance Center and she texted me and asked me 'if it was okay if i use your finisher?' It was bittersweet because I wouldn't be using it any more but still cool to see it used."

Booker T added that when injured, stars need the mindset to "put yourself through the rehab and have the mindset I'm going to be able to do it like I did it before." Since Bayley's win was barely addressed, Young asked Booker T about it. He answered "ask me what I think about Bayley? Sasha Banks is a hell of a worker" alluding to how the Boss helped the Champ retain her title.

Charlotte Flair won another title in WWE at WrestleMania 36. Paige praised the former Champ saying that "I feel like Rhea Ripley really stepped up to the plate. It was a big opportunity for her and she killed it." She also lauded the new title holder, claiming that "every match she (Flair) goes in I feel like it's a five-star match" and that "I'm happy she is (Champion again) because it may annoy a lot of people, but then she's doing her job."

Captain Charisma also enjoyed the match saying that he thought "it was the best wrestled match of both nights." He also offered a similar opinion to Paige saying that "some people were worried about Rhea Ripley and her momentum being stalled, but she's an NXT talent that stepped out on to the 'Mania stage and she lost to the Queen." He finished by saying that "she (Ripley) can trade matches with Flair in the future."

Of the Women's singles titles, only the NXT title changed hands. With both Bayley and Becky Lynch having long reigns, it was thought instead that one or both of them would lose their belts. Booker T said "I was on the fence as far as Baszler but she stepped up and performed at the next level. She's going to do something really big in this industry." Christian added that he was "of the opinion that maybe nobody's ready until you are in that spot" and that "she's (Shayna) going to come back dirtier, grittier, meaner than ever before."
