Nia Jax addresses online criticism ahead of WWE SmackDown
Nia Jax is currently the ruler of the women's division on WWE SmackDown, and it looks like the reign isn't ending anytime soon. Meanwhile, The Irresistible Force addressed online criticism regarding her character and appearance.
A few years ago, Nia Jax moved to the main roster. However, the star was often criticized for her looks, appearance, and in-ring acumen by the fans in the most vile ways possible. Luckily, she never took it to heart and remained professional.
Speaking on WWE Deutschland, the current champion was asked how she dealt with online criticism and hate. The Irresistible Force gave a befitting answer and stated she learned how to get over the comments, as those are bystanders and strangers to her in real life when she performs in the ring:
"I used to. I did early on in my career because it was something new for me and I had never been criticized by strangers for my job. I put myself out there knowing that is the job, but when you hear it or see it, you're still shocked because I don't know any of these people and they're being so cruel. Now, I've come to the understanding that it's part of the job. It's a part of what we do. It's a character," Jax said. (From 11:37 to 12:05)
