Nia Jax has gathered some serious backstage heat. Yes, it's not a piece of old news. This has happened yet again.

And once again she has injured someone. This time, the latest addition to the long list of casualties at the hands of Nia Jax is none other than R-Truth whom she injured when she attacked him at the Royal Rumble.

It is reported that she injured R-Truth's face and his ankle and R-Truth was furious at her after the match and had to be separated by officials.

You've just got to ask, how much is too much? On how many more occasions will Nia Jax injure someone because of her recklessness and WWE would just let that be? Let's just go through the list, Becky Lynch, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Tamina, Alexa Bliss, Zelina Vega, and others.

It's becoming more and more evident in recent times that WWE sees huge potential in Nia Jax and see her as the female equivalent of what Big Show was able to do in the men's division.

This was probably the reason why she was pushed despite putting Becky put of survivor series with an errant punch.

But at what cost? Nia Jax is still rough around edges. She's hurt her co-workers not once but on multiple occasions and when someone is as big as she is the margin of error reduces even further.

As an employer looking out for the safety of his employees it would be in WWE's interests if they send Nia Back to NXT so that she can sharpen the rough edges, get better and make a comeback because right now it reflects badly on the WWE as well.

More importantly, this would be a statement to the rest of the roster as well as it would mean that they have to perform at a certain minimum level or else they could themselves get demoted.

It would be a clear case of WWE putting the safety of its employees above everything else.
