Unfortunately for Nia Jax, she’s the only one who may not capitalize on everything that happened at Money in the Bank on Sunday. After a grueling match with Ronda Rousey, Jax actually looked really strong. The expectation going in was that she would lose the Raw Women’s Championship to Ronda, but Alexa Bliss’ cash-in changed everything.
Now, Nia will get her rematch for the title against Alexa at Extreme Rules in three weeks and it’s highly unlikely she’s going to win the championship back. That means after the major push Jax received at WrestleMania 34, WWE officials have halted her push just a few short months later. The truth is WWE officials have never booked Nia Jax properly.

However, her booking might not be her biggest problem right now. According to a new report from WrestlingNews.co, there’s legitimate heat between Bliss and Jax behind the scenes right now and the following tweet really rubbed WWE officials the wrong way:
For someone that doesn’t care what anyone thinks it’s weird they have to go out and get a tattoo that says they’re enough ?

It’s so difficult to know the difference between two wrestlers keeping kayfabe alive on social media, or if there is legitimate heat between them. Either way, it makes for some great television heading into Extreme Rules. The problem is if Nia Jax does have some heat with WWE officials, she’s probably going to the back of the line after her rematch.
In order to make sense of the feud with Ronda Rousey, Jax had to do a light heel turn. It killed the momentum of her babyface run that WWE officials had been pushing for four months heading into WrestleMania. Unfortunately, it’s not clear what the future holds for the former Raw Women’s Champion after next month even if the rumors are false.
Do you believe WWE officials made a mistake canceling Nia Jax’s babyface run?
