Nia Jax is a former Women's Champion and has come into WWE as a monster who has been able to overcome a number of threats in the Women's Division over the past few years, but the arrival of Ronda Rousey has definitely extinguished whatever fire WWE as burning for Jax, since she is no longer the biggest threat to the Women's Division.

Over the past few years, there have been debates about Jax's in-ring ability after a number of botches that have led to injuries, and most recently her punch to Becky Lynch has cost The Lasskicker her shot at Ronda Rousey this weekend at Survivor Series.

There is a lot of speculation concerning Jax at present and the fact that there is a lot of heat on her backstage, but this isn't the first time that Jax has prevented a star from being part of a high profile match or even injured a fellow wrestler, which means that the enemies of the former Women's Champion have to be stacking up right now.


#4 Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss took on Nia Jax at Backlash earlier this year, just weeks after she lost the Women's Championship to The Irresistible Force at WrestleMania 34, but as part of their match, The Goddess suffered a shoulder injury.

Bliss was then sidelined for a few weeks whilst Jax was the target of a number of trolls online who stated that the former NXT star was an unsafe worker and shouldn't be part of the main roster. Bliss recovered quite quickly from her injury and then went on to reclaim the Women's Championship from Jax back at Money in the Bank, before facing her former best friend once again at Extreme Rules.

Bliss and Jax were once seen as best friends and would be spotted together all the time, but this is no longer the case. The two women seem to have gone their separate ways throughout the year and now Jax spends much of her time alongside Tamina instead.

#3 Zelina Vega

Merely weeks ago, Nia Jax won the Women's Battle Royal at Evolution to become the new number one contender for the Raw Women's Championship, which means that she will fight Ronda Rousey at some point in the coming months.

As part of that match, the WWE Universe spotted that when Nia Jax eliminated Zelina Vega she was dropped onto her face because she wasn't caught well by Tamina Snuka. Following Evolution, Vega was missing from SmackDown Live and then wasn't part of the European Tour with the company because it was reported by a number of news outlets that she suffered a concussion.

Vega has since returned to SmackDown Live to be alongside Andrade "Cien" Almas but has seen from the video below, the botch could have been avoided and Vega could have been spared such a shocking injury.

#2. Bayley

Ahead of SummerSlam last year, Bayley took on Nia Jax on an episode of Raw and suffered a shoulder injury after Jax dropped her from a high-risk move. Bayley was then forced to pull out of her scheduled SummerSlam match against Alexa Bliss where she was prepared to fight for the Women's Championship since the injury was thought to be too severe to be risked.

WWE then had to schedule two number one contenders matches to crown a new challenger for Bliss, which was Bayley's best friend Sasha Banks. The Boss went on to become Women's Champion at SummerSlam, but merely weeks later, she lost the Championship back to Alexa Bliss. Bayley was sidelined for a number of weeks with the injury and has been unable to find her form in the Women's Division since and currently plies her trade alongside Sasha Banks as a tag team wrestler rather than a singles competitor.

#1. Becky Lynch

This week's news has been dominated by the fact that Becky Lynch has become the second woman forced to pull out of a high profile match because of Nia Jax. Lynch was stuck by an errand punch by Jax on Monday Night Raw, a punch that went on to cause a concussion and a broken nose.

To her credit, Lynch was able to finish the segment but later admitted that she has no memory of the incident and that she was on autopilot following the assault. There has been talks all week about the fact that Lynch has been forced out of her match because of the altercation and that there is now backstage heat on Jax since she is the fourth woman in a year that has been injured by the former NXT star.

Whilst it's harsh to label any wrestler as dangerous since wrestling definitely isn't ballet and many stars step into the ring knowing the risks that they are opening themselves up to, this doesn't make good reading for Jax. The former Women's Champion isn't one of WWE's biggest stars and hasn't been on the main roster long enough to claim that these are isolated incidents.

With Jax's match with Ronda Rousey now up in the air, The Irresistible force will be hoping that there aren't any more issues in her upcoming matches that could add further fuel to these reports.
