Nia Jax And Brock Lesnar Reportedly Have Backstage Heat

Nia Jax does have some backstage heat on her for the injuries to SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Live.

As we’ve noted, Becky suffered a severe concussion and broken nose during Monday’s RAW invasion angle after taking a stiff shot from Jax. The injuries forced Becky to name Charlotte Flair as her replacement for Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series match against RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey.

The heat on Jax has to do with how this isn’t the first time she’s caused an injury to another Superstar. There’s a feeling that she is unsafe in the ring.

On a related note, Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that he’s heard from more wrestlers complaining about WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar than Jax. Apparently there was some talk on how dangerous and reckless Lesnar’s German suplexes to Sunil Singh were on this week’s RAW. However, Singh didn’t get hurt badly and wasn’t forced to pull out of a match that everyone was looking forward to.

Regarding the heat on Lesnar, Meltzer noted that there’s frustration over the reality that Lesnar is pretty much bulletproof in the company. It sounds like the heat on Lesnar is more from his co-workers, while the heat on Jax could be from officials and other talents.

Becky Lynch Has Savage Responses For Ronda Rousey And Nia Jax, Note On “Millennial Man” Diss

We noted yesterday how RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey took to Instagram to write a lengthy post on SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, knocking her for being weak and not being able to take a real punch. At the same time, Nia Jax tweeted a photo of her busted fist after the stiff shot to Lynch on RAW. That shot gave Becky a broken nose and a severe concussion, forcing her to name Charlotte Flair for her replacement in Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series match against Rousey.

The Champ took to Twitter this afternoon and responded to Jax and Rousey. Lynch hit Rousey with a “TL/DR” jab and knocked her for having a weak mind and a weak jaw. Lynch accused Jax of sucker-punching her and warned her for payback, also calling her a b—h.

Becky wrote in response to Rousey’s Instagram post, “Ronnie, TL/DR. When I got my face broke I got up, owned you THEN showed up the next day looking to fight some more. When you got your face broke you hid for a year under your blankie. Your mind is as weak as your jaw, & I’m going to move heaven & earth to come destroy them both.”

She wrote in response to Jax’s photo, “You gave me your best sucker punch, but I got back up to destroy your whole roster. They won’t let me fight, but I’ll get back up from that too. It’s what I do. So enjoy your one free shot, because as bad as my memory is now, I haven’t forgotten you, b—h.”

In an interesting note on Rousey’s “Millennial Man” diss to Lynch, they are both 31 years old and were actually born just two days apart. Becky was born on January 30, 1987 and Rousey was born on February 1, 1987.

Below are Becky’s tweets along with the earlier posts from Jax and Rousey’s for those who missed it:

@beckylynchwwe I’m really sorry to hear The Millennial Man will not be showing up for her legally arranged ass whooping on November 18th at the Staples Center.

Unfortunately now everyone knows if someone hauls off and punches you for real, your face implodes. I suggest you keep practicing your tough guys faces in the mirror, should be very effective physical therapy.

And have fun watching Korean soap operas on Netflix or whatever the hell the Millennial Man does with her free time. Don’t worry I’m not the back stabbing cheap shotting ambushing cowardly type, so you’re perfectly safe to take your time and heal up until your figurative balls have dropped and you’re finally ready for your comeuppance. I want you 100% healed up, prepared, and looking me in the eye when the bell rings. Lemmie know when you’re done healing your boo boos and ready for me to serve you your ass on a silver platter with your avocado toast.

I do have to admit, The Millennial Man is stunningly conniving. She poked the bear and ran like a bat outta hell when the bear awoke – Feeding me her favorite frienemy and fellow #FAUXhorsewoman @charlottewwe is a new level of manipulative cowardice, even for The Millennial Man. @charlottewwe is a Superfight and I’ve always wanted to fight her – but she’s just the stand in for the beating @beckylynchwwe has coming to her this Sunday. I’ll be sending The Champ a choice piece of Charlotte as a souvenir #RondaVsCharlotte #SurvivorSeries #Nov18 #4horsewomenVSfauxhorsewomen

As noted, RAW Women’s Champion Nia Jax issued a challenge to Ronda Rousey during a joint red carpet interview at the NBCUniversal Upfronts in New York City earlier today. WWE has confirmed the match for the June 17th Money In the Bank pay-per-view from Rosemont, IL.

Below is WWE’s full announcement on the match:

Ronda Rousey to challenge Nia Jax for the Raw Women’s Championship at WWE Money in the BankNEW YORK CITY — Nia Jax shockingly named Ronda Rousey as her next challenger for the Raw Women’s Championship this morning at the NBCUniversal Upfront in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.

The Irresistible Force revealed she wants to put her title on the line against Rousey at WWE Money in the Bank, much to the surprise of The Baddest Woman on the Planet. Never one to back down from either a challenge or an opportunity, a bewildered Rousey agreed to the match.

This will be Rousey’s first title opportunity since joining WWE earlier this year. When we last saw her compete on WWE TV, she teamed with Raw General Manager Kurt Angle to defeat Stephanie McMahon and Triple H in a Mixed Tag Team Match at WrestleMania.

Can Rousey unseat the imposing Jax and win her first title in WWE? Tune in to WWE Money in the Bank on Sunday, June 17, streaming live on WWE Network.

Ronda Rousey and RAW Women’s Champion Nia Jax are among the WWE Superstars in New York City today for the NBCUniversal Upfronts.

During a joint interview on the red carpet, Jax issued a challenge to Rousey for the upcoming WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view.

“We are very civil and professional ladies, so Nia did just challenge me for Money in the Bank to come after her title,” Rousey told E! News while on the red carpet. “I happily oblige respectfully, so I can sit next to her.”

Jax responded, “We can still get along for now, but once we get in the ring, it’s over. All bets are off, right?”

The two remained cordial during the interview and Rousey noted that they are professionals in the ring but can still be respectful outside of the ring.

“We’re professionals, so when we get in there, there’s a job to be done,” Rousey said. “When we’re outside of the ring, then we can still be respectful to each other. We all have the same goals. We’re all trying to lift the women’s division and to show people that we have more to offer than they’ve given us credit for in the past.”

WWE has not confirmed the Rousey vs. Jax match but Jax commented on possibly preparing to face the former UFC Champion.

“I’ve never been in a ring with somebody like Ronda,” Jax told E! News. “She’s one of a kind, so there definitely has to be an alternation to my regimen and I’m looking forward to it.”

Nia Jax — Leave Of Absence Reasoning Confirmed By Alexa Bliss

nia jax, alexa bliss, leave of absence raw

Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss took part in an interview today and revealed the reason for her good friend Nia Jax‘s sudden break from the road.

Bliss told the NY Post that she’s spoken with Nia about her decision to take time off and noted that it’s due to her body being tired from life on the road.

She explained, “Whatever she is going through, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a leave of absence. She’s taking some time off because our schedule is very grueling. It’s very, very demanding. There are times where you are run down and your body can’t do it anymore and you get sick or you get injured from it and you get tired.”

Sports Illustrated reported this week that Jax was unhappy with her pay scale and creative. For clarification, a leave of absence is the correct wording. It means approved time off from work.

Bliss continued, “So, I feel like everyone needs a reset every once in a while. In NXT I took a few resets and it was never like public knowledge, but we all need them. We all take them once in a while. I am happy when she comes back. I feel like everyone needs that refresher week or refresher moment.”

Nia Jax Reportedly Granted Leave Of Absence From WWE

Nia Jax has reportedly been granted a leave of absence from WWE due to personal reasons. PWInsider reports that Jax has not quit the company, despite some rumors. It’s also confirmed that Jax was not at this week’s RAW but she was originally scheduled to be there. One source noted that original plans for the WWE TLC pay-per-view had Sasha Banks vs. Jax, not Sasha vs. Alicia Fox. We noted before that Total Divas filming was scheduled but PWInsider adds that Jax was scheduled to film content for the show in New York City tomorrow and Friday but she’s no longer scheduled to film.

The rumors began yesterday when a Twitter account — same one who spread word of Neville’s walkout — tweeted about rumors of Nia also being upset and possibly walking out of Raw last week.

Two Raw Superstars Set To Join Cast Of ‘Total Divas’, Renee Young Not Returning

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that RAW Superstars Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax were recently added to the cast of Total Divas for season 7.

It was previously reported that Eva Marie will no longer be apart of the Total Divas cast, and now Renee Young revealed that she’s no longer part of the cast.

Young replied to a fan Saturday night on Twitter who asked if she’d still be on the show next season and Renee answered, “Nope I am not, but the new cast will crush it!!”

So it appears that Bliss and Jax will be replacing Eva Marie and Renee Young on the show.
