The latest episode of WWE SmackDown saw Nia Jax caught in a scary incident during her women’s championship match against the reigning titleholder Tiffany Stratton. Despite enduring brutal offense from the Irresistible Force, including taking a Samoan Drop on the announcers' desk, The Buff Barbie retained her crown.

Fans were baffled and concerned after Nia Jax was busted open during the match. Attempting to steal the win, she grabbed a steel chair. However, the tables turned when Stratton anticipated the attack. As Jax rolled in with a chair, Tiffy launched a calculated missile drop-kick on the Irresistible Force. The edge of the steel chair struck Nia Jax's forehead, causing her to bleed immediately.

Stratton took advantage and followed it by executing the second Prettiest Moonsault of the match, retaining her title. Fans are wondering whether Nia Jax's pouring blood was a real injury or a planned execution. Yes, Jax sustained a legitimate cut.
