First off I just want to state that Nia Jax is a beautiful and well spoken woman who I have
no personal problem with. Most of the points I am about to raise are more due to her booking
since arriving on the main roster.
Okay...I just had to get that out of the way first.
So...I believe everything about (Main Roster) Nia Jax is wrong.
Her ring attire is awful...
Her music doesn't fit...
Her promo work is basic...
& most of all...
Her in-ring skills are lacking and frankly boring to watch.
I'm sick of watching the other women on the RAW roster being "rag-dolled" by a
woman who frankly isn't cut out for the main roster...Yet.
Now I only decided to write this piece because the rumor is the RAW creative team
is looking at booking Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax for the RAW Women's Championship at SummerSlam.
Okay...so my reply to that is NO. That isn't going to work. A heel vs. heel match
between two of the worst in-ring workers in the entire women's division is a recipe
for disaster...especially when you have talented in-ring workers like Sasha Banks,
Mickie James and (God Forbid) Emma on the roster.
You see Nia Jax isn't like most girls...but her booking ever since making the main
roster hasn't allowed the WWE to develop that idea...or develop her as a
character/performer in anyway.
Basically the RAW booking team has had to play a game of keep away with Nia
and the women's title and in some cases they simply take her off TV completely
for 3 week to a month at a time.
It just isn't working...and I'll now list the reasons why:
(Yes...I like lists)
1). The Brand Split:
Its very simple. While the men's division can handle the booking of a "Monster Heel"
(Example BRAUN!!!) because they have the depth and numbers...the women's division
cannot when it is split over two brands.
If all the women were on the same brand Nia could be developed through a few lower
card feuds and build momentum to a possible title shot over time.
With only 7 to 8 active women on RAW...and only 4 of them being faces...there isn't
enough bodies for the booking team to work with and that means Nia can't build any momentum.
Look at the recent gauntlet match. Sure Nia pinned 4 other women and looked
"strong" but she still lost and was made to tap out by a much smaller woman for
the second time in a high profile, multi woman match.
2). The Size Difference:
Now Nia is physically impressive...and the women's division needs diversity...but the
size difference between Nia and the rest of the entire division is, in my opinion, simply
too great. Now Charlotte & Tamina can/could stand toe to toe with Nia...but no one else
on the current roster can believably do so.
I would mention Asuka...but Asuka simply kicks everyone in the head till they stop moving...simple as that.
3). She's Boring To Watch:
So I have grown sick of the standard "Nia Jax" match in which her opponent tries to
fight only for Nia to unleash her 3 or 4 moves (Shoulder Block, Bear Hug, Samoan Drop,
Leg Drop...am I missing one?) and pin them easily.
Its repetitive and frankly hurts the other women in the division.
Every time I see Nia Jax and Sasha Banks fight...I feel sick...like literally sick in my
stomach because as good as Sasha is (And she is fucking good...don't lie to yourself)
not even she can get a good match out of Nia...and that's because Nia has nothing but
her height and weight to work with.
4). She's Too Green:
Now the same could be said for Dana Brooke, Carmella & Alexa Bliss...but unlike
those 3...Nia is so much larger and stronger (I'm guessing) than everyone else that
I personally believe she is actually dangerous for the other women on the roster.
If you don't believe me...watch this match.
I swear I had to actually turn away and stop watching because I was afraid for
Charlotte's safety. Not only that...but watching Charlotte put Nia over was just
sickening for me to watch.
Now I know this seems unfair for me to "bash" Nia like this...but she simply isn't
working and she is frankly becoming a serious issue for me as fan of women's
wrestling.
I honestly hope the WWE creative will press the reset button with Nia and drop
her back down to NXT for 6 to 12 months and give her fresh start with some new
ring attire and music.
For an example of how I would book Nia...simply look at how the WWE booked
Awesome Kong/Kharma when she first debuted in the company.
If you want Nia to be a monster...then actually book her as one.
It really isn't that hard.
I also want to leave you all with this question:
If Nia Jax had the same in-ring & promo skills as she does now...but was more a
standard size and weight...would she even be signed to the WWE...let alone on
the main roster?
Yes...I know she is related to the Rock...but I'm not counting that as a factor.
Just think about it.
Leave your thoughts, opinions and answers down below and I'll see you all around
the traps...And...
The first person to make a joke about Nia being fat gets to be crowned the "Lord of Idiots"
