WWE Fastlane 2019: 5 Reasons why Tamina and Nia Jax attacked Beth Phoenix and Natalya
During Fastlane 2019 Nia Jax and Tamina took on Bayley and Sasha Banks for the WWE Women's Tag-Team Titles in somewhat of a David vs Goliath affair, and as has been customary for big women's moments Beth Phoenix was at ringside to provide commentary.
However, Phoenix wasn't just a bystander in the match as she would get involved when Nia Jax and Tamina were giving the retaining champions a sore-loser style beatdown after failing to become new tag-team champions.
When Nia Jax threw Sasha Banks over the announce table, Phoenix was forced to vacate the commentary table and in doing so came face-to-face with Tamina, before the pair came to blows and Jax then ambushed Phoenix from behind.
Jax and Tamina then proceeded to beat down 'The Glamazon' until her former 'Divas of Doom' partner Natalya tried to help, but Natalya got beat down too!
It was a completely unexpected addition to the Women's Tag Team Title match and has some very interesting consequences heading into WrestleMania. But what are some of the reasons why WWE made the decision to do this? Here are five reasons why Tamina and Nia Jax attacked Beth Phoenix.
#5 It maintains Nia Jax and Tamina as top heels in the Women's Tag Team Division
Nia Jax and Tamina are perfect heels for the WWE Women's Tag-Team Division. They're physically imposing, fairly unlikable and they act in despicable ways on a regular basis. This latest act of brutality from the pair is the latest example of these two stopping at nothing to be bad.
Except this time, instead of attacking a fellow Superstar, they attacked a mother of two children, a retired wrestler, a WWE Hall of Famer and a member of commentary and in doing so demolished four of WWE's best women.
