WWE RAW Preview: Big changes in world title picture, Alexa Bliss’ next feud, former champion to betray best friend? (May 17th, 2021)

#3 Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax address recent title loss on WWE RAW

Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax lost their tag team titles last week

This week’s episode of WWE RAW will witness Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler's return to the Red brand without their Women’s Tag Team Championships. They lost their titles to Natalya and Tamina on SmackDown’s go-home episode before WrestleMania Backlash. Both superstars are expected to address their defeat on the show tonight.

Jax and Baszler are bound to get their title rematch, but it is highly unlikely that Natalya and Tamina will drop the tag team championships. Moreover, Jax and Baszler have to look out for Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke, Naomi, and Lana, with whom they feuded extensively on WWE RAW during their title reign.

Losing the Women’s Tag Team Championships could also fuel a split between Jax and Baszler on WWE RAW. Both superstars had agreed to work together as long as they kept winning. The creative have already teased tension between the two superstars owing to Jax’s obsession with Reginald.

A brief moment of blame game would immediately prompt Baszler to turn on Jax or vice versa. This would be a good way to kickstart Shayna Baszler’s singles run that will ultimately push her into the WWE RAW Women’s Championship picture once again.
