At Hell in a Cell next month, fans should expect a few WWE belts to change hands as the company shakes things up heading into the winter.
AJ Lee, of course, won the Divas Championship in her Triple Threat match with Paige and Nikki Bella at Night of Champions.
While Lee is a perfectly fine women's wrestler and a terrific
personality, she's held the belt so much over the past 18 months that
it's difficult for people to care anymore.
Besides, Paige was hitting her stride as the villainous Divas
champion. She had turned into one of the most entertaining parts of the
show over the past couple of months. Unwisely taking the title off her
seemed to strip her of her momentum.
And really, wouldn't fans rather see babyface Lee chase the belt than have the belt?
So, for a few reasons, I think Lee will lose the Divas Championship
to Paige again at Hell in a Cell. It makes the most sense for the
division and Paige’s career.
In other predictions for the event, Dolph Ziggler could lose his Intercontinental Championship. Considering the way WWE has been playing hot potato with the title, it's perfectly possible, maybe even likely.
And while WWE has given Ziggler a decent push in recent months, it probably won't be too long before the bookers lose faith in him again and elect to go with a new champion.
Maybe The Miz
will win it back—again—or someone fresh, such as Bray Wyatt, will have a
run with it. (Bray does need something new to do, since the company has
seemingly run out of ideas for him.)
