Just a heads up that my post contains some NXT TakeOver spoilers from last night.

SPOILER: show
Anyway, with Shayna Baszler losing the title last night and with Trish Stratus being announced to face Bliss, I get the feeling that Bliss will retain at SummerSlam and Baszler will debut on the main roster either tonight or tomorrow on Raw.

I've noticed a bit of a trend recently with NXT Champions and SummerSlam or WrestleMania. The champions seem to debut on the main roster not long after losing their championship before either SummerSlam or WrestleMania.

It happened with Almas, Roode, Ember Moon and it sort of happened with Nakamura and Bayley but they debuted on the main roster after they lost their rematch, which wasn't that long after they lost their titles, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Baszler turn up really soon.

To me, I don't see why Bliss vs Stratus would happen if their wasn't a reason to watch. If Bliss loses to Rousey tonight, then the match at Evolution would just be "Bliss vs Stratus" and that's it. However, if Bliss retains, the WWE would hype it up as "The five-time and current Women's Champion, Alexa Bliss vs The seven-time Women's Champions, WWE Hall of Famer and one of the best female superstars of all-time, Trish Stratus".

It would be seen as "The Past vs The Future". It would give people more of a reason to watch than if it was just "Bliss vs Stratus".

So with that, and Baszler losing last night, I can see Baszler playing a roll in Bliss retaining, which would mean we would get a Rousey/Baszler feud because of it and Bliss still champion and hyping up her match was Stratus.
