Here's how I see it:
-Alexa starts to trash talk Rousey, Jax gets a rematch. -Cheats to beat Jax at Extreme Rules. -Alexa starts ducking Rousey. -Match gets made for Summerslam. -Big pop. -Ronda murders her as Summerslam. -Big pop. -Everything is fine.

HHH's "Reign of Terror" was not just a matter of him being in the title picture a lot. It was also things like setting up his title feud with Kevin Nash by having him pin Nash in a tag match instead of the reverse like would normally happen. Alexa is not booked that way. We're talking about Trips being the champion and being in the world title feud. If you're not talking about that, you're not talking about the same thing this thread's talking about in relation to Alexa. You're off topic. I've never thought that merely being around the title scene a lot was the big problem people had with 2002-05 HHH. I saw it as more about how often he was pinning popular babyfaces right in the middle.

Exactly. This is the only way this story goes. Big pops because Rousey wins. Big pops because Alexa loses.
Everyone is happy. This is how wrestling works.

Everyone is presuming a bit much regarding Alexa and Ronda at Summerslam. This is WWE. They've had easy slam dunks before and not only managed to miss, but they've done things that would be like, missing the dunk and in the process throwing the ball behind you and making it go into your own team's basket. The odds are better that WWE will have Alexa dominate 95% of the match, have Ronda make a 30 second comeback and win. That kind of match can easily kill a crowd. Plus this will be in Brooklyn, who knows how they will take to Ronda winning the title there.
Plus, for this feud, there'd have to be talking segments which are where Ronda falls face first. Alexa buries people badly on the mic. Knowing WWE, they could kill any interest in the match before the show even begins.

I think the story here is obvious, Alexa viciously assaulted Ronda and Nia and reclaimed the Raw Women’s Championship.
But now she has one of the most dangerous female MMA fighters of all time and a former best friend who could break her in half ROYALLY pissed off at her and out for blood.
So now she has to ask herself, was it worth it?

And that would make sense, but this is Alexa we're talking about. She'd dominate Rousey for 80% of the match.

Guess there will be another shake-up after Summerslam cuz if its Ronda beating Alexa at SS, you are left with NO credible challengers other than Alexa.

Well you can have Sheamus vs Alberto part deux?? If that happens I wonder if any MMA fans would feel seeing Ronda keep getting one-upped by a girl a size of a gnome who doesn't take bumps and who doesn't like having punches and kicks come near her face.

Personally, (and this might be bias because I really like Becky) I think the best outcome for the MITB would be for Becky to have won it. Not only has she managed to stay over despite lousy booking, it would bring everything full circle, especially with Ellsworth back in the picture. Last year Becky had the briefcase and Ellsworth screwed her over, Carmella got the case and eventually the belt. It would be a wonderful tie-up to that storyline if Becky got the briefcase and was able to turn the tables on Carmella and Ellsworth, especially since Charlotte and Asuka have failed. A great callback, a great boost for Becky and a great babyface title win which has been lacking for a while in the women's division on both shows.

I just wanted Becky to win because she's my favorite women wrestler and she never gets her due but your idea is so much better from a story standpoint then what they ended up doing (give Alexa another pointless win to set up yet another title reign just because she's our favorite and she has to win everything). Makes perfect sense and writes itself so of course they didn't do it and instead went with the least interesting choice.

She’s one of the best worker’s male or female on the roster. Lexi deserves to have the strap.

Now with the news of Evolution happening in October, I'm now about 40% sure that WWE will have Alexa keep the title at Summerslam via some kind of BS just so WWE can hold off crowning Ronda at Evolution instead. That screams something WWE would do.

Are they still doing that bit where Natalya is Ronda's friend? If so they've done this story like 148 times, Natalya turns on Ronda at Summerslam and costs her the belt.
