5 potential male opponents for Nia Jax

While we initially thought that Nia Jax being in the Men's Royal Rumble was a late punishment for the Becky Lynch incident in November before Survivor Series, it turns out we may have been wrong.

If you're not aware, Nia Jax became the first person in WWE history to compete in two different Royal Rumble matches in one night! Granted, there's only been two Rumble matches twice, but it's a nice little piece of history.

WWE completely threw us off when Nia Jax attacked R-Truth (The original #30 entrant) from behind and took his spot. She would eliminate Mustafa Ali, who was having a great performance in his own right. However, she would get taken out and then eliminated.

It seems like WWE is pushing Nia Jax as not just the irresistible force, but a woman who fears no one. We could see Nia Jax entering the Men's division similar to Chyna, or atleast take on a few other male competitors. Here are our best picks.

#5. Randy Orton

At the Royal Rumble, Randy Orton seemed absolutely puzzled that he had a face-off with Nia Jax of all people. The thing is, she actually kept her own ground and had an impressive show of strength against him, knocking him down.

In fact, when he went for an RKO, she evaded it and shoved him down. When she eventually did take the RKO, she took it like a champ and sold well. One thing that people didn't really give her enough credit for is the fact that she bumped really well.

Moreover, it would take Randy Orton help from his old bitter rival to eliminate The Irresistible Force! You can't deny that it would be an interesting stylistic match-up, albeit a bizarre one.
