5 reasons Nia Jax was chosen as Asuka's opponent for Backlash

#2 Nia Jax has great heel heat

Nia Jax's heel heat should be enough to get fans to sympathize with Asuka.

Nia Jax is one of the most brilliant heels in all of WWE and she very much deserves that spot on the roster. Furthermore, between the way she is able to spit absolute venom on the microphone and how rough she is in the ring, this could end up creating one of the best babyface versus heel storylines the women's division has seen in some time.

Think about it! The WWE Universe already can't stand Jax and she hasn't even been back a full month yet! Beyond that, her brutality inside the squared circle is going to create a lot of interesting situations during their match at Backlash, which could allow them to further the storyline a bit.

For example, what if Jax manages to go too far and storyline injures Asuka during their match at Backlash? If the company were to go that direction, it would give Asuka a lot of sympathy as a babyface, make Jax look even more like a heel and keep the feud going for another month or two.
