WWE has been criticized for bringing back a former champion who is considered an uncertain talent by their opponents. However, Asuka jumped to his aid. The champion in question is Nia Jax.
Nia Jax signed with WWE from 2014 to 2021. During this time, Jax reached the top spot by winning the Women’s Championship. However, there was always something that stopped her.
It was said that Jax was a worker who didn’t care about her opponents. Over the years, Jax has injured or seriously injured several other women in the ring. Jax also received a lot of criticism for his skills in the ring. The former women’s world champion was ultimately released from the company in 2021.
However, “The Irresistable Force” returned to RAW this week and attacked both Rhea Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez during their main event match. Fans clearly expressed their displeasure with the 39-year-old star’s return to the ring.
However, Asuka quickly came to Jax’s defense on social media. She responded to fans who questioned the decision to bring Jax back to WWE.
“This question is rude and intimidating. You are hurting his heart with this question. Are you really a person with a heart? If anyone who has not been directly harmed by them denies this, I will fight for them in society. If they criticize me for it, I don’t care.
Nia Jax, on her way to another WWE Championship
Nia Jax made her WWE debut in 2014 and quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the women’s division. In 2018, she won the Raw Women’s Championship, becoming the first Samoan woman to win a major championship in WWE. Jax held the title for several months before losing it to Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35.
In 2019, Jax teamed with Shayna Baszler to win the WWE Tag Team Championships. The duo reigned for over a year, defending the title against multiple teams including The IIconics, Kairi Sane and Asuka, and Sasha Banks and Bayley.
Jax was released from WWE in 2021 but returned to the company in September 2023 during WWE Raw. Jax could have a chance to win more championships in the future as he attacked Raw Champion Rhea Ripley in his comeback.
