At the WWE "No Mercy 2017" pay-per-view, the reigning WWE "Raw" Women's Champion Alexa Bliss has her hands full. In her latest defense of the championship, she'll be defending against three of her fellow women's division members from the roster. Bliss will have to find a way to win once again in a Fatal 5-Way for her title. Here's a look at the Women's Championship match preview along with match odds and who will win on Sunday.
Match buildup
Alexa Bliss is a multiple-time WWE "Raw" Women's Champion since joining the red brand's roster several months ago.
She's defended her title in matches against Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Nia Jax. Now, she'll be defending the title against all of them and Emma in one match.
Weeks ago, Sasha Banks seemed to be the only top contender for Bliss heading into "No Mercy." She won the title from Bliss back at "SummerSlam 2017" in Brooklyn, only to lose it back to Alexa soon after that.
However, Nia Jax and Emma both petitioned "Raw" General Manager Kurt Angle to give them a shot at Bliss for the title. Instead of giving them the title shot, he gave them a tag team match against Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss. Angle said if they won, they'd get added to the match. Jax and Emma managed to do just that, and after the win, Nia destroyed Emma in the ring to show she will be friends with no one in the title match.
Just a week ago, former No. 1 contender Bayley made her return to WWE "Raw" after a shoulder injury kept her sidelined from fighting Bliss at "SummerSlam." Now Bayley has joined the women's title match, making it a Fatal 5-Way for the title.
Who will win?
Alexa Bliss is a two-time "SmackDown" Women's Champion and two-time "Raw" Women's Champion.
Her current title reign on "Raw" has now gone for 23 days and counting. As of right now, that's the third-shortest reign for this title, although the other two reigns belong to Sasha Banks.
One has to think the WWE is planning to have Alexa Bliss holding the title once Asuka arrives on the main roster. If not Alexa, then Nia Jax so that Asuka can get a statement win to continue her winning streak.
With that in mind, it seems either Alexa Bliss will retain, or Nia Jax will find a way to win at "No Mercy". These two options have the best odds.
The latest odds for the WWE "Raw" Women's Championship match have Alexa Bliss as the favorite at 5 to 6, according to Paddy Power. Nia Jax is listed at 11 to 4 odds, while Bayley is 10 to 3, Sasha Banks is 7 to 2, and Emma is 6 to 1.
