She’s a force. Check out Niven in action:
Opinion: This makes perfect sense as Niven has been built up fairly strong in recent months and putting her in a title match in her native country is not a bad idea. I could go for seeing her win the title, only to drop it back to Bayley shortly thereafter. There is nothing wrong to catering to the local audience and that seems to be what WWE is doing here.
What do you think of the match? Who leaves with the title? Let us know in the comments below.
