Nia Jax breaks character following Bash in Berlin; sends warning to fellow WWE Champion
Nia Jax broke character following WWE Bash in Berlin to share a moment with a major star. The veteran is the reigning WWE Women's Champion and successfully defended the title in a Street Fight against Michin on this past Friday's edition of SmackDown.
Cody Rhodes defeated Kevin Owens to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship in the first match at Bash in Berlin today. He celebrated with Owens after the match, and some fans were upset about The Prizefighter not turning heel.
Following the Premium Live Event, Nia Jax took to her Instagram story to share a photograph with The American Nightmare. She noted that she was only doing it because they were champions but warned that she had not forgotten what Rhodes said about her family. The WWE Women's Champion is the cousin of The Rock, Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa. You can check out Jax's Instagram story by clicking here.
"Don't think I forget how you spoke about my fam," she wrote.
Nia Jax defeated Bayley at SummerSlam earlier this month to become champion. The veteran is friends with Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown, but The Buff Barbie won the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match in July and can cash in for a title match whenever she chooses.
Former WWE writer explains how SmackDown star can be turned babyface against Nia Jax
Wrestling veteran Vince Russo recently detailed how WWE could turn Tiffany Stratton babyface on SmackDown in a rivalry against Nia Jax.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo show, the legend suggested Stratton could help Jax win matches in the weeks ahead. However, the champion could become jealous of the 25-year-old and decide to betray her, causing fans to feel sympathy for Stratton.
"Unless you did the old, 'She (Tiffany Stratton) saved Nia a few times and she bailed Nia out a few times and then Nia turns on her because you know maybe that made Nia look bad' or the old, 'I never asked you for any help,' that type of thing. So if she saved Nia's backside a couple of times and then the heel turns on the babyface, I think that gets people behind her." [3:13 onwards]
