The last few months have been very difficult for Nia Jax. She is facing the backlash from the fans, mostly because of her botched moves in the ring. In 2014, she signed a developmental contract with the WWE and made her in-ring debut in 2015.

She wrestled under the ring name Zada in a tag team match where she teamed up with Devin Taylor to take on against Bayley and Carmella. This was her first and the last match as Zada as the WWE then changed her name to Lina.

She then worked under her new name for some time and fought 21 matches in total. After that, she became Nia Jax and soon made her main roster debut.

Jax won the Raw Women’s Championship last year at Wrestlemania by defeating Alexa Bliss but in just a few months, Bliss regained the title. Now, Jax and Tamina are looking forward to winning the new Women’s Tag Team titles and could face Bayley and Sasha at WWE Fastlane.
