WWE Used Nia Jax’s Release To Send A Message To The Roster

WWE released a total of 18 Superstars last week, and one of them happened to be former Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax. Following her release Nia Jax issued a statement revealing that she had been off TV because she was taking a mental health break, and when the company scheduled her to return later this month she asked for more time off.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Nia Jax’s mental health break ended up dooming her, and that the company was sending a message to the rest of the roster with her release.

The message is that if people on the main roster need time off then WWE will give it to them, but if they’re not on TV when it comes time for the company to cut people then the talents who are taking time off will be prone to cuts.

It was recently reported that Nia’s release was surprising because Vince McMahon had been protecting her, and you can get more on that here. Stay tuned for updates.
