Nia Jax has a long way to go, but a new finisher is a good start!
Ad
I’ll be honest here, I still don't believe she was anywhere near being ready for the main roster. However, with the brand-split, Nia was drafted to the Raw roster and all we can do is hope she develops a better skill set in the ring and does so quickly. But, I'm not overly optimistic on this one.
For Nia Jax, her primary finisher is a standing leg drop. This is probably the most boring of this list, as far as finishers are concerned. If Jax is going to succeed, or at least have a chance at possibly succeeding, she has to make some immediate changes. One of those changes should be her finisher.
I'm not exactly sure what direction she should go with a new finisher, but with her being the big, brute monster of the women's division, she might be better off with some sort of maneuver to display her strength. Perhaps she could bump heads with her cousin, The Rock and come up with a modified version of The Rock Bottom for her to use. I don't know if that's even a possibility, but it's a thought.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
