I really can't stand Natalya. People get mad or joke about Nia or Roman or Charlotte getting pushed because of their relatives but Natalya is right up there if not worse. I'm convinced she wouldn't have made it to WWE if she was just a random woman and hadn't tricked management into thinking Bret Hart was her Dad. Nattie at her interview: this is my uncle and I, Christmas, 1986. My uncle is Bret Hart. He's my uncle. I have more pictu--!! Stephanie or her rep: Nattie, don't speak, for the rest of the interview, about your family. Nattie: I like cats!! Steph or rep: YOU'RE HIRED!!!

I know they need to give Ronda plenty of matches, to get her ring work up to scratch, and I know that they wanted to get some publicity with pics and videos of her training, which she's doing with Natalya, but honestly... does anyone want to see a championship run from Natalya in 2018?
That being said, they're in a tough position, in regards to Ronda. Because they really have to push her to the top quickly, to capitalise on the publicity they might get, but she's just not going to be ready for it. I feel like they're going to have to really plan this match with Nia, and fill it with shenanigans that cover for the shortcomings of both wrestlers. So if that's Nattie turning heel, then fair enough.

I don’t mind this idea, because I really feel they should get Ronda’s first loss out of the way early, even if it’s heavy shenanigans. If there’s one thing Vince has shown, is that he sucks a booking undefeated streaks so I’d say just don’t do that angle with Ronda.
Besides, undefeated streaks almost always end flat. Tazz beating Angle was solid, and I didn’t mind Charlotte beating Asuka (the follow up has sucked) but usually it’s a disappointment.

Honestly, I think Natalya's earned every damned title shot and push she's ever gotten after putting up with this nonsense and coming out the other end (...no pun intended):

This is a lot of overbooked stuff if they do this. Didn’t they just pull Rousey from singles matches with Mickie because she wasn’t ready to carry matches on her own? Putting her with an inferior opponent just to have a big schmozz as the result is unlikely to benefit anyone.
The only way to do it IMO is to have Rousey armbar Nia immediately & then do the DQ/Run In/Cash In.

They could have Rousey get DQ'ed for kicking too much ass then have Nattie run out with a ref to cash in, cover Nia and get the 1-2-3.

Another possibility - Nattie wins MitB. Nia comes out for the match, but before Rousey can get to the ring, Nattie smashes the briefcase over the skull of Jax, then cashes in and gets the 1-2-3 and Rousey, having been denied a title match, takes her frustration out on Nia and beats the crap out of her in a squash match.

Nia vs. Ronda features two of my favourite wrestlers on the show and I can't think of a single way they can go with it that I'll be pleased with the result. I'm sure I'll like the match, sure, but booking wise... I don't want either of them jobbing, I don't want Ronda's first title win pissed away in her first singles match, I don't want Nattie getting the title off Nia that quickly, and anything involving a f*** finish is just going to be a waste of the matchup.
So... go ahead and impress me, WWE?

I can see them doing something where nattie wins MITB, realizes she can't beat rousey so "accidently" gets her DQed by "helping" at some point where ronda looks to be in some sort of trouble because she thinks nia is easier to deal with down the road. Nia keeps the title, rousey is distracted from the title scene by the nattie feud- who can't cash in because ronda keeps messing it up for her whenever she tries. nia probably feuds with the riot squad/ ruby in the meantime cause "size can't beat numbers"
