4-time WWE champion got emotional and almost broke character in front of Triple H; explains why
WWE's Chief Content Officer Triple H can be a bit intimidating, as he used to be very handy with a sledgehammer. However, that wasn't the reason why Nia Jax got emotional and almost broke character in front of The Game.
Earlier this year, Nia Jax became the inaugural Queen of the Ring Tournament winner and had an interaction with Triple H. The Irresistible Force bowed down and got crowned in Saudi Arabia, which changed the trajectory of her career.
Speaking on WWE Deutschland, the four-time WWE champion recalled how she got emotional during the moment and almost broke character. She added all her success wouldn't have happened had The Game not believed in her.
"I didn't realize how emotional it would be for me in the actual moment. To see him walk in with the crown, it was full circle. He took a chance on me ten years ago when I tried out. He saw something in me, and again, when I wanted to come back, he took another chance on me. Him [Triple H] giving me the crown—it was a full circle moment. It wouldn't be possible if he didn't give me the opportunity. It was an emotional moment. I was trying to pull it together. I was trying to be this mean person. It was a beautiful moment that's stuck in my mind forever," Jax said. [From 14:15 to 14:58]

Nia Jax is having a very successful run in WWE under Triple H's regime
Nia Jax's career was completely revived under Triple H's regime when she returned to the Stamford-based promotion for a second run. The Irresistible Force was dominant and headlined premium live events in the company.
Later, she became the first Queen of the Ring and captured the WWE Women's Championship at The Biggest Party of the Summer in Ohio with Tiffany Stratton's help.
The champion is in an interesting tussle with The Buff Barbie, who is seemingly her ally, but who also holds the coveted Women's Money in the Bank contract. Jax's booking under Triple H's regime has changed her career in the company. It'll be interesting to see what is next for the SmackDown Superstar on Friday nights.
