WWE committed a major blunder with Nia Jax at Survivor Series WarGames, claims former manager (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently dissected Nia Jax's performance at the Survivor Series WarGames Match. The WWE Women's Champion kicked off the match for her team.

Nia Jax had an all-star team at WarGames, which included the Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriguez, and Candice LeRae. However, the group couldn't come out on top as Rhea Ripley led her squad to the win.

On a special episode of Smack Talk, Mantell claimed that WWE fumbled with the order of participants in the match. He detailed that Nia shouldn't have opened the encounter with Bayley and should have been substituted by someone with better conditioning.

​

"The way it was set up, Nia shouldn't have started at all. You need to start somebody with energy that can actually go 38 minutes. And going 38 minutes for Nia is... How did she finish the match? Was she huffing and puffing?" [From 16:40 onwards]

After a hellacious WarGames match, Nia Jax was not present on SmackDown this week. However, her associate Tiffany Stratton was in action as she advanced to the semi-finals of the Women's United States Championship tournament after defeating Elektra Lopez and Noami in a Triple Threat Match.
