Nia Jax has definitely established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the women’s division on Monday Night Raw, and she’s looking to make an impact in the weeks to come as the stars of WWE prepare for WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans.
Jax is definitely one of the standout stars of the women’s division, and during a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio she talked about what it’s like to be the “Braun Strowman/Mark Henry” of the division and more.
“I’m honored to even be mentioned in the same category. I don’t know what we’re lacking, honestly. We have such versatility. We have our champ that, she is very conniving and has that attitude and smart. We have our veteran Mickie who comes in and she still goes out every night and puts such a great show on for us. She teaches the young girls how to work and how to do stuff out there. We have Paige who still is contributing with her amazing talent. We have Bayley the hugger who you literally want to hug. She’s such a sweetheart but has such great talent. You have Sasha who has a great arsenal as well. There’s really nothing else I can think of.”
Asuka is the winner of the first ever women’s Royal Rumble, so regardless of what happens in the next few weeks she’ll be getting a title shot at WrestleMania.
However, Asuka is set to face Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber, and if Jax defeats Asuka she’ll be added to the Raw Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania. Jax talked about her match with Asuka, and she noted that she has nothing but respect for the Empress of Tomorrow.
“I have great respect for Asuka as a performer and as a wrestler. She has done so much before she even got here to the WWE. That woman is as tough as fricken nails. She’s as tough as they get. I’m so excited because she’s one of the toughest competitors I’ve ever been in the ring with. She also has a side to her that is a little sexy. It’s always cool that as a woman to show that we can go out there and kick some butt, but there is that sexy side of us that we like to show off. “Badass women can have a sexy side to them. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.”
