Top star sends six-word message to Nia Jax ahead of WWE Queen of the Ring quarterfinals
WWE Superstar Nia Jax was one of the biggest surprise draft picks in 2024 as most of the wrestlers were retained by their respective brand's general manager. She is now exclusive to Friday Night SmackDown and has already knocked Naomi out of the Queen of the Ring tourney.
Tonight's episode of the blue brand will emanate from Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, and the show will feature the quarterfinal matches. Nia Jax is booked to square off against Jade Cargill. The two women have met before in the ring during the Women's Royal Rumble match in January.
Ahead of their first-time-ever one-on-one showdown, the former AEW star is confident that she is advancing in the tourney. Jade has dropped an emphatic message on X/Twitter to the Anoa'i family member:
"Brought The Storm to Jax today," wrote Cargill.
While she is portraying a heel on the program, The Irresistible Force acknowledged Naomi post-match last week for almost pushing her to the limit. Jax herself does not doubt who will become Queen of the Ring on May 25 inside the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia.
Nia Jax does not rule out the possibility of joining The Bloodline on WWE SmackDown
Nia Jax asked WWE for some time off in the fall of 2021 to take care of her mental health. In November, she was released by the company. Jax joined the WWE roster once again for a full-time schedule in September 2023 after making a one-off appearance at the Royal Rumble last year.
Being a member of the Anoa'i family, The Irresistible Force has been asked before about possibly joining The Bloodline. Earlier this year, during an interview with Steve Fall, she responded:
"I wouldn’t say no, I’m always there if they need me. But they’re killing it. There’s nothing they can’t do. It’s incredible to watch them." [From 4:05 to 4:15]
Upon return, the WWE Superstar reestablished herself as a force to be reckoned with by picking up dominant wins over Becky Lynch, her former tag team partner Shayna Baszler, among others. Jax even headlined Elimination Chamber: Perth Premium Live Event in February, challenging then Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley.
