Nia Jax is always a threat due to being larger than the rest of the competitors. The commentators always say just that in battle royales, Royal Rumbles, and elimination matches. She is an imposing figure and one of the top women in the division who also laid out Asuka prior to Money in the Bank on RAW.

A showdown with The Irresistible Force would seem more like a match for a PPV like SummerSlam or the Royal Rumble due to the standing of both Jax and Asuka in the division. Since she was unable to capture the MITB briefcase, Jax will certainly be looking to cause some havoc on Monday nights.

The former RAW Women's Champion last reigned in 2018 after winning the title and later on losing it to her former friend, Alexa Bliss. Ronda Rousey won the championship at SummerSlam that year and Jax has been unable to sniff the title scene ever since. I'd expect that The Rock's cousin will be looking to regain the title at some point this year now that she's fully healthy.

Although she was unable to capture the briefcase, it won't be a shock if Asuka is defending the title against the former champion. When it happens is another question but Jax is certainly one of the women that will be looking to oppose the Empress of Tomorrow this year.
