Top star returns after 450 days, shock heel turn & more: 5 possible twists in the Women's Title Battle Royal on WWE RAW

WWE RAW this Monday will see a new Women's World Champion, as a Battle Royal will take place to determine who will claim the title after Rhea Ripley was forced to vacate it due to injury.

Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch, should she return after WrestleMania 40, should be the favorites to win the Battle Royal and become champion. However, it is unclear what path the company will follow.

That said fans could see a legend return during the bout or even get an unexpected heel turn. Here are five possibilities for what could pan out during the match on the upcoming episode of RAW:

#5. Maxxine Dupri eliminates Candice LeRae

Maxxine Dupri and Candice LeRae are expected to be part of the Battle Royal, but it is highly unlikely that they will play a key role in the match. However, their participation could create new angles in their storyline.

Dupri and LeRae have been in a feud over the past few weeks on RAW, after the latter's heel turn, thus their battle should be exciting. Given that LeRae has repeatedly called out Dupri, we should expect the latter to fight back this week and eliminate the veteran to add more fuel to their feud and continue their storyline.

#4. Tag Team Betrayal

Fans could expect the women's tag division to participate in the Battle Royal, even though neither of them are favorites to win the championship. However, some interesting storylines could get started.

Those in attendance could see Piper Niven turn on Chelsea Green or Kayden Carter betray Katana Chance, as it will be every woman for herself. Like Maxxine Durpi and Candice LeRae, any betrayal here will add more fuel to the storylines and will increase the interest in the women's tag team division.

#3. Nia Jax or Shayna Bazler winning the Women's World Championship

Liv Morgan or Becky Lynch should be considered the favorites to win the match. However, WWE could follow a different path and have another top female superstar win the Battle Royal.

If Triple H and his creative team take a different route, Nia Jax or Shayna Bazler should be frontrunners to become champions. The two failed to dethrone Rhea Ripley, but WWE could make the surprise and pick one of the two to win the title.

On the March 15 episode of RAW, Jax made her intentions clear that nothing will stop her from becoming a women's champion again. The star is undoubtedly the toughest competitor in the match. Therefore, fans should expect her to dominate her opponents and fight Liv Morgan for the victory.

#2. Liv Morgan cements her heel turn

Since her return at the 2024 Royal Rumble, Liv Morgan has been on a revenge tour. She injured Rhea Ripley on RAW a couple of weeks ago and forced her to vacate the title, but revealed that this was just the beginning.

Thus, fans should expect her to stop at nothing to become a champion again. The star could cement her heel turn and pull out all the stops to win the Battle Royal. If she truly embraces her dark side, Morgan may even aim to injure another star and put her on the shelf.

#1. Alexa Bliss could return on WWE RAW after 450 days to win the Women's World Championship in her hometown

It has been 15 months since Alexa Bliss last competed in WWE. The last time she did so was at the 2023 Royal Rumble. After that, she was on maternity leave, but it appears that her return is closer than ever.

With this week's RAW taking place in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio, we could see Little Miss Bliss make her long-awaited return.

Whether it will be as a babyface or heel, remains to be seen. However, fans could assume that her character will have something to do with a tribute to the late Bray Wyatt, so a heel turn mid-way through the match shouldn't be ruled out.

The multi-time women's champion will look to take out the rest of the women's roster and emerge as the new champion. She could then go on to feud against a plethora of top stars.
