#3 Asuka and Nia Jax shenanigans

Asuka vs Nia Jax
Asuka and Nia Jax face off in a match that might do more harm than good

There are so many ways for the match between Asuka and Nia Jax to cause problems that it's hard to know where to start.

If Nia Jax wins, she gets inserted into a Triple Threat match for the Raw Women's Championship that Asuka hasn't even claimed to be in, yet, so if she were to challenge Charlotte Flair instead, it would render the Triple Threat idea a dead deal.

She would also be ending Asuka's undefeated streak in the process, even if it's by count out or disqualification, which would be underwhelming ways to have The Empress of Tomorrow suffer her first loss.

Worse, a true victory for Jax hurts Asuka's momentum, whether or not she stays on Raw or goes to SmackDown.

If Asuka wins, then Jax has nothing to do at WrestleMania, and that becomes just horrible if Asuka jumps over to SmackDown and leaves Raw without a strong Jax ready to take on Alexa Bliss.

Thus, watch out for WWE to overbook this match to some ridiculous level by having it either end in a no-contest or a draw of sorts, possibly not even get started in the first place if they begin to brawl before the bell rings, or for some kind of cop out finish that saves them from having to make a true judgment call.

This could be a segment everyone looks back on and wonders why WWE decided to do it in the first place.
