When we say things are cyclical in WWE, this applies none more so than to the Women's division - unless your name is Charlotte Flair. For Nia Jax, her turn would come at WrestleMania 34 in 2018.

She debuted on RAW in 2016, going through a similar process as Braun Strowman by squashing enhancement talent before coming close to a real feud. However, unlike Strowman, she had some experience in NXT, spending less than a year there but challenging for the NXT Women's Championship multiple times.

She was regularly featured but didn't get much of a spotlight until 2017-18, where her alliance with Alexa Bliss saw her gain some momentum. It would prove to be a long-term storyline and one that would surprisingly turn Nia Jax into one of the biggest babyfaces on the roster.

Her bullying storyline with Alexa Bliss would culminate at WrestleMania 34, where she dethroned Bliss' long-standing reign from the summer. However, her push lasted all but two to three months before she lost the title back to Alexa Bliss.
