"I hate that this misleads people" - Nia Jax lashes out at upcoming WES show
Former WWE Superstar Nia Jax (aka Lina Fanene) has taken to Twitter to lash out at an upcoming event.
During her tenure with WWE, she had captured both the RAW Women's Championship and two reigns with the Women's Tag Team Championships. She had worked
Having taken independent bookings since parting ways with the Stamford-based company, Jax was initially set to participate in an upcoming event for WES, or Wrestling Entertainment Series. She was supposed to face CJ Perry (FKA Lana), but the plans seemingly fell through.
However, the former RAW Women's Champion was upset to discover that she was still included in the poster. She took to Twitter to clarify the situation and also warned the fans.
"I do not know why I am still on this poster, but I will REPEAT myself again… I will NOT be at the show. Please do not buy a ticket thinking you will see me perform or get a chance to meet me. I hate that this misleads people!" Nia Jax wrote.

The show, set to take place in Nottingham, England, will also feature IMPACT Wrestling star Moose, former kickboxing world champion and UFC veteran Alistair Overeem, and former Lucha House Party members Lince Dorado and Kallisto.
Fans reacted to Nia Jax's tweet about the WES show
Wrestling fans from across the world have taken to Twitter to respond to the former WWE Superstar's post.
One fan informed Jax that another fellow former WWE Superstar, Matthew Rehwoldt (FKA Aiden English), had also been "burned" by the event.
@LinaFanene they burned matt to

Another fan accused the promotion of using Nia Jax's likeness to up their ticket sales.
@LinaFanene Yeah I was wondering why they haven't updated that poster. They are definitely trying to use your likeness/name to up the ticket sales. They should know better by now.
@LinaFanene For real and it’s easy with photoshop to change this up
A few fans thanked Nia for mentioning that she won't be at the event:
@LinaFanene Good of you to let ppl know!
@LinaFanene @LinaFanene so glad I hadn’t brought tickets yet then cause I only wanted to see you @TheCJPerry & @Adamscherr99 before they were taken off the original poster. Thank you for the heads up ❤️
Another fan pointed out the dubious nature of the event, stating some previous mistakes the promoters had made.
@LinaFanene The whole thing seems very dodgy. They set it up to fail by originally putting it on Jubilee weekend in the UK in a pretty big arena..
@LinaFanene This show has been postponed once....seems very dodgy!!
One fan even termed the event as pro wrestling's Fyre Fest.
@LinaFanene This wrestling’s Fyre Festival? 😂😂
