#4 The Women's Title picture lost heat that it gained last week

Stephanie McMahon needs to be here every week
After what was a very bland challenge made by Nia Jax and an even more insipid acceptance by Ronda Rousey, the feud between the two gained some heat last week. This week's dismal build to the match just goes to prove how important Stephanie McMahon was last week. She played an anchoring role in taking this feud forward.

This week, it seemed like Nia Jax tried too hard to make a statement. The match would have gone on fine had Jax played the role of the dominator without the verbal breaks in between. It was clear that the RAW Women's Champion wanted to send a message to the No. 1 Contender. It would have been better if she pointed at Rousey after every move and squashed her opponent quickly.
We all know that Rousey struggles with her words on the mic, and today's episode proved that Jax is not very different. Her statements lacked the fire or the intimidation that they should have had. Since Rousey isn't that great on the mic yet, she should have tried to distract Jax and aided her opponent in picking up a victory.

It will be interesting to see how WWE play this feud out because as of now, there is very little keeping the fans riveted to the forthcoming title match.

Even though he doesn't work at Sportskeeda on a full-time basis, writing about wrestling keeps his passion for the sport alive. He reports on important updates from wrestlers and rumors from trustworthy sources.
Kishan recalls the best match he witnessed when he was just 6 – the Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000. Watching the six men push each other to their limits and then some made him realize how incredible pro wrestling is.
He graduated as a Chemical Engineer a few years before he began his journey with Sportskeeda. A couple of years as a non-contracted writer for the website became a full-time opportunity that included managing the pro wrestling division.
Kishan's favorite wrestler is Triple H, as he can pull him into any storyline. In today's era, one can call him a Seth "Freakin" Rollins fan for the same reason. When he is not writing for Sportskeeda, Kishan works as a digital marketing professional.
