"Doesn’t fully grasp just how strong she is" - AEW star recalls wrestling Nia Jax
WWE star Nia Jax is the reigning WWE Women’s Champion. She is undoubtedly one of the strongest women on the roster. Furthermore, her current title reign has been quite dominating.
Throughout her career, Jax has locked horns with some of the biggest names in WWE. Interestingly, one of her best opponents was AEW star Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks). The two women have met multiple times in the ring and have mutual respect. In the latest edition of the Moné Mag Volume 2 newsletter, she mentioned The Irresistible Force. She listed her as one of the strongest opponents she has ever gone up against, alongside WWE stars, Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair.
"Next up is Nia, who is another powerhouse. Like Charlotte, Nia doesn’t fully grasp just how strong she is. There’s no stopping her—if she wants to throw me across the ring, she absolutely can. Nia is a beast of nature, and once she gets going, there’s no blocking her. When you're in the ring with her, you know you're in for a physical battle, and she’s someone who truly commands attention with her raw power." [H/T Moné Mag Volume 2, Issue #16]
Nia Jax didn't expect to win the Women's Championship when she faced Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania 34
At WrestleMania 34, Nia Jax became the Women's Champion for the first time in her career after defeating Alexa Bliss. Interestingly, in a recent interview with Screen Rant, she revealed that she hadn't expected this triumph.
"I think when I first won the title, it was a great moment. It was against Alexa Bliss. We had that amazing storyline, and I wasn't expecting to win that one. It was more of a shock to me. At the moment, it was during the time where we had Rhonda coming in and there were so many factors going on, so I didn't really get to soak it in, let's put it that way. I didn't get to soak in that moment," said Jax. [H/T Screen Rant]
