Nia Jax sent a heartfelt message to a released WWE star. Jax was in action in the main event of this past Friday's edition of WWE SmackDown.
Jax took to her Instagram story to send a heartfelt message to Shayna Baszler following her departure from the company. The Queen of Spades spent eight years with the company but was unfortunately a part of the company's recent wave of releases.
Jax broke character on her Instagram story today to send a heartfelt message to Shayna Baszler. She humorously claimed that the two became best friends after the former NXT Women's Champion smacked her in the face and included a sad face emoji as seen in the image below.
"We were besties ever since," wrote Jax.

WWE star Nia Jax comments on her dating life
Nia Jax recently opened up about her personal life and revealed that she was not in a relationship.
Speaking on The Nikki & Brie show, Jax revealed that she was single and also disclosed that she was put on the waitlist by the celebrity dating app Raya. Jax noted that it seemed like a sign that she was not accepted by the app.
"[Shrugs] My mom's laughing over here," Jax said when asked about dating. "You know what, there was a time where the girls were all getting into it. I think it was like Becky [Lynch] and Charlotte [Flair]. They were all on Raya, and I was like, 'Okay, maybe I'll try it,' and then I got waitlisted. It was back when they were super strict, and then I was like, 'Okay, well, that's a sign.'" [12:26 – 12:57]
