Rumor: WWE Locker Room Furious With Nia Jax Receiving A ‘Raw’ Women’s Title Match

The WWE Universe isn’t happy with Nia Jax after her botch has put Becky Lynch on the shelf indefinitely. That’s understandable, and WWE officials seemed to have embraced the situation. Jax has been active on social media. It’s clear she’s playing the role of the heel going forward, but her receiving a new push has infuriated the WWE locker room.

At WWE TLC, Ronda Rousey will defend the Raw Women’s Championship against Nia. A lot of people don’t believe Jax deserves the opportunity. According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE officials and the rest of the locker room feels one way or the other about her receiving a push and a title match at TLC despite the botch.

Behind the scenes, some people understand that business is business. The fact is Nia has a lot of heat after that botch, which is perfect to get the WWE Universe to support Ronda during the feud. The other side of the argument is that Nia Jax is unsafe and receiving a push for injuring someone like she did is really frustrating for most of the performers.

The WWE Universe has been quick to point out her history of botches over the past few weeks. Jax has received a lot of criticism, but the real question is if putting someone as “unsafe” as her in the ring with Ronda Rousey is the right call. WWE officials pushing Nia heading into 2019 is an interesting decision that will be a matter of debate for fans.

It’s true that accidents happen. On paper, there’s big money in Becky Lynch vs. Nia Jax heading into the Royal Rumble if WWE officials want to go that route. However, there’s not expected to be anything substantial from the entire situation aside from selling TLC next month. The bigger problem for Nia is regaining the respect of her peers in the ring.
