After being surprised that no one showed up to challenge Bianca on Raw, it had me curious what the plan for her is in the short term. Based on other events tonight I'm guessing Rhea will be an opponent down the line and they'll get to play that feud out, but I also feel they need someone else to challenge her first. Bayley is a solid option given their I Quit match not happening last year, but she's also been out a long time and fans miss her. As of yet it's uncertain if Becky's just back next week for a quick rematch at Backlash. There's the possibility of Alexa returning heel but she's popular herself and Bianca got booed at EC for pinning her, while some of the other main heels on Raw have lost numerous matches to Bianca already and are hard to buy as contenders.
I also thought her promo tonight was interesting in that the genuine stuff and showing her injury were good, but running through the greatest hits at the end (roughest, toughest, smartest, strongest etc: ) felt kinda rote and rushed.

I think Rhea is turning heel to challenge her.
Maybe not to challenge her soon but I think that's where the angry at Liv for losing is going.

I'm guessing rematch with Becky, then maybe Zelina as a speedbump, probably beat Doudrop yet again, then probably lose the belt to either Rhea or Lacey.

Kind of surprised they didn't have Becky on at all tonight. Unless I guess maybe she's taking a brief break and they're going to do the rematch at like the June PPV instead. I don't really know what they do with Bianca in the mean time. I do think they are going to do her and Rhea sooner then later but right now it would be way too soon to go to that. I'm guessing at Backlash Bianca beats one of the women who have been MIA (Bayley, Alexa, Asuka, Lacey) while Rhea squashes Liv. Then maybe they do a three way feud with Bianca, Rhea, and Becky.

rhea seems like she's about to make a heel turn so she'll be coming up. between seth shaking cody's hand and becky not being here i wonder if they'll do a "self reflection" redemption arc for becky where she realizes obsessing over the title made her turn into the thing she always hated and abandoned everyone who help her get there. takes some time off and returns as a face so she and seth can do a double face turn.
as for who is next- there's still a matter of when asuka/bayley return and to which show so they could be someone down the road. alexa will be away for a few weeks yet more than likely due to wedding. zelina will probably have nothing to do with carmella also wedding-ing so she could be a quick fill in. and of course we could always wonder if bianca can get doudrop up for the KoD. but i'll take a shot and say it's a returning bayley that gets first shot barring an NXT callup of Io or KLR

I think the most interesting thing about Bianca's promo last night is that the audience supported her at the start of it, but were booing her (and she looked legitimately shocked by that) at the end of it. No idea if it was because of the content or because it was clear no one was coming out to challenge her. But that promo last night was a bad idea in hindsight.
As for where her reign goes, I can see her dropping it to Rhea at Summerslam or something, who goes on to drop it to someone else at Mania (hopefully not back to Bianca because we don't need a third coronation in a row for her).

Bianca is gonna beat Becky one more time all while Rhea squashes Liv relentlessly.
Then Bianca will drop the title to Rhea at Summerslam and then get drafted to SD to build to facing Charlotte at Mania because this is Biancas thing now she is gonna beat each 4H at Mania for a title while they send Ronnie to Raw to chase now babyface Becky who gets the title back from a heel Rhea.

Although I prefer Rhea as a face because I love to cheer for her, she'd be a great threat to Bianca's title. Even tho we're still months away, if they build it up properly that would be a kickass Summerslam main event.

Her reign is heading towards a loss.

Ideally, she’d get a Cena push. She’s one of their best faces in years, run her through the gauntlet.

Wrestlemania Backlash - filler defence Hell in a Cell - rematch with Becky inside cell MITB - v Asuka Summerslam - v Rhea Bianca is gonna beat Becky one more time all while Rhea squashes Liv relentlessly. Then Bianca will drop the title to Rhea at Summerslam and then get drafted to SD to build to facing Charlotte at Mania because this is Biancas thing now she is gonna beat each 4H at Mania for a title while they send Ronnie to Raw to chase now babyface Becky who gets the title back from a heel Rhea. I think this would be the smart idea and is also what I can see happening. Bianca is made after these past two Wrestlemanias so she doesn't need a super long reign. A nice run until Summerslam and dropping it to Rhea would be fine.

Jobbing to Charlotte? It's a safe guess for any woman

Jobbing to Charlotte? It's a safe guess for any woman While Bianca did lose to her in NXT (unfortunately with a super rushed ending as they ran out of time), both their main roster matches had Bianca winning by DQ in positions where it was presented she was clearly going to win the match otherwise.

I kind of think Bianca's due a short reign then probably a heel turn for a bit. She's booked so dominantly as it is that I don't think there's a lot of mileage in her having the belt for very long even if you do have challengers available, it feels like crowds are starting to get tired of her, and she's good at playing both roles but hasn't been heel in awhile at this point. After this reign turning her for a bit, maybe changing out some aspects of her presentation, could do wonders for freshening her up.

Last night's Raw certainly suggested they're keeping up the super booking, with Sonya having to change the stipulation within seconds, Bianca easily enough fighting off three women at once (even if two of them were Zelina/Mella who she's already beaten repeatedly) and basically no-selling a DDT on a chair for good measure.
In terms of my original question, feels from here that they go next with whoever wins out of Asuka/Becky, most likely keeping Rhea for later in the summer.

Would not be shocked to see her not defend at Backlash. Instead we get Liv/Rhea for the RAW women's match OR don't be surprised if they have Ronda vs Charlotte as the sole Women's Match on the card. Hell in the Cell depends on what matches are inside the cell. Rhea at SummerSlam. MITB could be Becky or Asuka and Becky or one of those could be HITC as a normal match if they do Ronda/Charlotte in the cell. I could see KLR facing Rhea or Bianca at the UK stadium event.

Rhea should be the one to beat her (at Summerslam perhaps) imo.
I think Asuka (hopefully) beats Becky and then challenges Bianca after that.
Curious to see if she has a match at Backlash now? And if so, against whom?

I wouldn't be shocked if they pull the trigger on the Rhea feud sooner rather than later. They are already working together on the house show circuit and dark matches, which usually indicates that the feud is happening soon. Plus I don't see Rhea feuding with Liv for several months or spinning off into another real feud after this.

Becky is probably gonna be a perpetual state of mini feuds before she gets drafted to SD.
Asuka will beat her and then they will circle back to maybe Liv where Liv beats her (of course none of these will be clean by wins by dq , countout etc)
Rhea is gonna pretty much squash Liv here soon before she moves into a feud with Bianca
I do not see them putting Asuka unfortunately into the title picture at all this year once this Becky thing is done because she is not the one that is going to beat Bianca...maybe she will be the one to dethrone Rhea but that is a maybe because we still got Bayleys return(who I think is gonna be the one to beat Rhea for the title)...and Alexa is a whole WHO THE f*** KNOWS.
They are probably gonna throw Alexa and Liv together to go after the tag titles...and turning Sasha heel on Naomi because it is just what she does around that time of year.
