Nia Jax was born in Hawaii

After signing a professional contract with the WWE in 2014, things were looking on the up for the Samoan wrestler. Her cousin was guiding her to the promised land and she was progressing well in her wrestling training.

However, in August of that year, her life nearly took a turn for the worse. She and her aunt Ata were hit by a drunk driver who was involved in a car chase.

The driver had refused to comply to a routine police check and continued racing down the freeway with no consideration for other drivers on the road. He would crash into Nia's car and all three would be rushed to the hospital.

Thankfully all three would make speedy recoveries and nobody was severely hurt. Nia's career was literally nearly over before it had even begun.
