Nia Jax has caused many injuries in the ring.
Nia Jax has caused many injuries in the ring.

There is no denying that Nia Jax is one of the most established female competitors in the WWE due to her size and heritage.

She is a former Raw Women's Champion, and she is also the cousin of The Rock, who is one of the most successful stars in not just the WWE, but in Hollywood as well.

Nia Jax is currently in a tag team with Tamina, who is also her cousin but not by blood.

However, despite the fact that Jax has made a name for herself in the WWE, there have been too many instances where she has proven to be a very unsafe worker as she has caused many injuries that were major and minor.

Here are 6 WWE Superstars that Nia Jax has injured by being too reckless in the ring.


#6 Zelina Vega

Zelina Vega is currently the manager of Andrade 'Cien' Almas (now Andrade) as they compete on the SmackDown Live brand.

Vega only wrestles on the occasion compared to Andrade who wrestlers regularly in the ring.

However, at the first-ever all women's PPV event called Evolution in 2018, Nia Jax and Vega had competed in the Women's Battle Royal match with the winner gaining a shot for either the Raw or SmackDown Women's Championship, depending on what brand they were on.

During that match, we saw a brief alliance between the two as the duo were attempting to clean house.

Unfortunately, Jax had turned on Vega leading to Jax eliminating her out of the ring. But that elimination was very brutal, as Jax had thrown Vega out of the squared-circle with force.

But it was evident that WWE had kept Vega's injury on the down-low, as only eagle-eyed fans would have noticed that Vega was out of action, and it was reported on The Sun that she hadn't appeared on SmackDown because of a concussion.

Vega didn't appear on television for 3 weeks until she then made her return to SmackDown on November 13th, 2018 as she accompanied Andrade to the ring.

#5 Ember Moon

On the December 3rd, 2018 episode of Raw, the Raw Women's Champion in Ronda Rousey had teamed up with "The Shenom" Ember Moon to face the team of Nia Jax and Tamina as the women were the main event of Raw again that night.

However, there seemed to be another case of Nia Jax causing an injury, but this time, it was to Ember. The following night on Twitter, the husband of Ember Moon, also known as Matthew Palmer as The Daily Star stated that he had made a tweet stating "Hope this unsafe moron doesn't hurt my wife again."

The tweet was later deleted, as there didn't seem to be any more specific information or a video on what actually happened, but the pieces clearly all add up to suggest it was Nia Jax who had caused an injury to Ember, especially with her history of being unsafe in the ring, along with the fact that the tweet was made on the morning after the December 3rd edition of Raw in 2018.

#4 R-Truth

The most recent cause of Nia Jax being reckless and causing a minor injury was towards R-Truth.

At Royal Rumble 2019, Truth was scheduled to come out at #30 as he had won that right by winning the 2018 Mixed Match Challenge alongside Carmella. However, Truth was then attacked by Nia Jax from behind.

It's clear that the attack was planned for storyline reasons as the WWE had wanted to make Nia Jax the fourth women to compete in the Men's Royal Rumble match, but the rumors have suggested that Nia was too brutal when attacking R-Truth.

According to Jerry Lawler in an episode of Dinner with the King, he had confirmed that "she blasted R-Truth and knocked him face-first into that wall."

There were also reports that R-Truth was being held back by Road Dogg as Truth was "hot" towards Jax after she had "hurt his ankle and face" whilst the attack was occurring.

Apparently, Truth was ready to look for Nia Jax so that he could confront her, but there isn't any more information to suggest if he found her or not.

Truth also became the new US Champion on the 29th January 2019 edition of SmackDown, as he had pinned Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev in back-to-back matches on the same night.

In the storyline, Truth had stated before the matches that the opportunity to face Nakamura was because of him losing his Royal Rumble spot.

#3 Bayley

Another superstar that Nia Jax allegedly injured is one half of the Boss 'n' Hug Connection in Bayley.

On the July 31st, 2017 edition of Raw, Bayley faced off with Nia Jax in a match, a week after she had earned the right to compete at SummerSlam 2017 for the Raw Women's Championship against Alexa Bliss.

However, during that match, Jax had thrown Bayley out of the ring with a force which caused her to land on her shoulder when the injury had taken place.

The Irresistible Force then went onto lift Bayley up in the ring, as she had then slammed her onto the canvas which caused Bayley to land on her shoulder again.

Bayley was then injured for a month, as she was then unable to compete at Summerslam 2017 against Alexa Bliss. This showcases the impact of Nia Jax's botches as her accidents may not be intentional, but she clearly needs to work on keeping her opponents safe in the ring.

#2 Charlotte Flair

On the 10th April 2017 episode of Raw, Nia Jax went one on one in a match against Charlotte Flair. Unfortunately for Charlotte, this match featured another botch by Jax as Charlotte had gone for a Diving Moonsault whilst Jax was outside the ring.

Charlotte launched, but Nia clearly didn't catch her which led to Charlotte hitting her head on the floor.

In the same match, there was another case of Nia being unsafe as she had gone for a shoulder breaker to Charlotte. But instead, she ended up smashing Charlotte's head onto her knee which further hurt Charlotte's face.

Both of these botches were reported to showcase that Nia is dangerous in the ring.

Despite this being a minor injury for Charlotte, she still went onto work the entire match as if nothing had happened.

But the fact that Nia had nearly caused another injury towards one of the biggest superstars in the women's division is another indication that she is not very safe to work within the ring.

#1 Becky Lynch

And finally, at number one on the list, we have Becky Lynch as she clearly got the most visible injury out of all the superstars in the ring.

Lynch was originally scheduled to go one on one with Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series 2018 in an inter-brand match as the two women were representing SmackDown and Raw respectively.

However, on the 12th November 2018 episode of Raw, Lynch had led an invasion from SmackDown Live, as the SmackDown women had targeted the Raw women in a storyline.

During this angle, Nia Jax delivered a stiff punch to the face of Lynch which caused a serious concussion as well as breaking Lynch's nose. This was reported by Forbes as Jax was once again proven to be very dangerous.

Lynch was then pulled out of the Survivor Series match against Ronda Rousey. The injury caused to Lynch was clearly a blessing in disguise, as it had further increased Lynch's credibility and her status as a badass. However, this doesn't change the fact that the injury could've been prevented if Nia Jax was safer in the ring.

But despite what happened, Lynch is still rumored to main event WrestleMania 35 against Ronda Rousey after she had won the women's Royal Rumble 2019 Match before choosing to compete for the Raw Women's Championship.
