5 Things WWE did right at WrestleMania 34

#4 The Nia Jax Story

Enter capti — A feel-good story comes true.

Nia Jax made her WWE main roster debut as a part of the 2016 WWE Draft. At the time of her arrival, Jax had less than 2-years of professional training under her belt. When she was drafted to the RAW brand, there was a lot of concern over her ability to hang with the Superstars of the main rosters.

After all, her work in NXT consisted of mostly squash matches and short segments. Thankfully, Nia brought a major chip on her shoulder along with her. This would prove to be the driving force behind her ultimate success.

Despite being related to The Rock and being a member of one of wrestling's most elite families, Nia was never given anything. In fact, she would actually go on to outwork nearly anyone on the roster in route to her WrestleMania moment.

Nia Jax defeated Alexa Bliss on the Grandest Stage of them all, WrestleMania 34. By doing so, Jax became the newly crowned WWE RAW Women's Champion. While this moment was obviously very special for Jax, she has made it crystal clear that her journey has been a victory for everyone who needs a voice, everyone who has ever felt left-out and for everyone who has ever been doubted while chasing their dreams.

The entire feud has been perfectly executed by WWE creative staff, but more importantly, it was performed flawlessly by both Jax and Bliss.
