The latest episode of SmackDown featured a championship defense. It featured Bianca Blair and Naomi defending the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae. However, during the match, Jax, who was looking to become a double champion, had an unexpected accident.
Jax was busted open after she hit her head on the ring post. She even posted this on social media following the episode. It clearly shows the wounds that she has suffered. It seems like it has impacted her majorly, as she seems very angry. Jax’s expression aligned with her sharp and sneaky heel champion character. The expression on her face clearly reflects the face of a villain who was defeated.
Her role as a heel champion has been highly appreciated. The character that she plays is hated widely amongst the WWE Universe. This reflects how well she is playing it. Her current championship reign has lasted for 100 days now. There has been a slow and steady establishment of herself as the top female wrestler. Despite her failure to beat Liv Morgan and capture the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship in Saudi Arabia, her reputation as a top heel has not been tarnished.
The Money in the Bank contract holder Tiffany Stratton also belongs to the same brand as her. She even came down during the incident, which teased a potential cash-in. It was later revealed that she had come down only to reveal support for Nia Jax and Candice LeRae. The alliance between Jax and her is very strong. It will be interesting to see if there is any kind of betrayal in the future.
WWE Host picks Nia Jax as Pickleball Partner
Jackie Redmond, who works on WWE Raw and Premium Live Events, recently spoke with Gabby LaSpisa on Gabby AF. She spoke about her relationship with the WWE Women’s Champion. She mentioned that Jax acts mean and makes fun of her in the locker room, but she knows that deep down inside she loves her.
Redmond further added that she feels that she is like Jax’s younger sister. Jackie is very determined on multiple things, like her career. Another thing that she is determined on is playing Pickleball with Nia Jax. She mentioned that Jax would be a strong Pickleball player, and she would want to play as her partner.
I am like that little kid sister to her that won’t go away that is super annoying….I know that she plays pickleball… I am begging her to hit a pickleball court with me so that we can play…she would be an intimidating force on a pickleball court just by being Nia Jax.
Jackie mentioned that she had not seen Jax play pickleball. However, she feels that Jax would dominate the court by just being herself. Through the interview, it can be judged that she shares a good relationship with Nia Jax. If she ever gets the opportunity to play pickleball with her, there will definitely be photos and videos across social media. It will be interesting to see if Nia Jax is as dominant on the pickleball court as she is in the wrestling ring.
