"I wasn't expecting to win" - Major victory against Alexa Bliss came as a shock, says 4-time WWE champion
Alexa Bliss hasn't been seen on WWE TV in a while but her career is filled with many memorable moments. Recently, Nia Jax looked back on their feud and stated her win over Bliss at WrestleMania 33 came as a shock.
In 2017, Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax crossed paths on Monday Night Raw. However, it turned ugly for The Irresistible Force as she found out The Goddess' true intentions behind the team-up. This led to a title match at The Showcase of Immortals in New Orleans, which Jax won.
In an interview with Screen Rant Plus, the current WWE Women's Champion stated that her first-ever title win at The Grandest Stage of Them All came as a shock as she didn't expect the company to put the title on her as there were many factors, including the addition of Ronda Rousey.
"I think when I first won the title, it was a great moment against Alexa Bliss. We had that amazing storyline, and I wasn't expecting to win that one. So, it was more of a shock to me. And, it was during the time where we had Ronda [Rousey] coming in, and there were so many factors going on. So, I didn't really get to soak it in. I feel like this one [her current WWE Women's Champion win] has meant so much more to me," Jax said. [From 02:50 to 03:20]

Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax haven't crossed paths in WWE since 2021
After their feud in 2018, Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax crossed paths on different occasions when the RAW Women's Championship was on the line. Later, both moved away from the title picture and focused on the tag team division.
The Goddess captured the titles alongside Nikki Cross and The Irresistible Force went on to dominate the division with Shayna Baszler for a while. The two had their last singles encounter in 2021 which ended in disqualification.
Last year, Alexa Bliss feuded with Bianca Belair for the title and went on maternity leave. Meanwhile, Nia Jax returned to WWE under Triple H's leadership and had many memorable moments on Monday Night RAW.
Earlier this year, she became the Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia and captured the WWE Women's Championship in Ohio at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
