Nia Jax reflected on her previous WWE release
WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax recently reflected on her WWE release In 2021, sharing wasn't sad, but publishing was a blessing. Jax has been one of the most formidable forces in WWE and has maintained her position at the top of the women's division.
In a recent interview with Cathy Kelley, Jax shared that the release gave her space to take a step back and reflect on her career. “It was probably the best thing that ever happened to me,” Jax said in the interview.
“It was difficult at first, sitting there and realizing that I wasn't going to be out there entertaining everyone, being out and about and enjoying the travels. It actually helped restore my passion and love for wrestling. I felt like I was starting to get a little bit of the 'Why?' lose,” she added.
After the release, Jax evaluated himself and reflected on areas for improvement: “I tell people all the time that it was one of the best things that happened to me. I felt like I reset Nia Jax. Now I'm the best Nia Jax ever. I'm just getting better. I had to take this little break and find myself again.”
Of course, her release in 2021 created a new version of the superstar, who returned at the 2023 Women's Royal Rumble and later added a number of accolades to her resume. Jax defeated Lyra Valkyria to win Queen of the Ring in the finals of the Queen of the Ring tournament. She later defeated Bayley at SummerSlam on August 3, 2024 in Cleveland, Ohio, securing her second reign as WWE Women's Champion.
Jax is scheduled to defend her WWE Women's Championship against Bayley at the upcoming WWE Premium Live event Bad Blood on October 5th.
