#4 Best/worst: Nia Jax's promo

We loved the message, but the delivery was awful — We loved the message, but the delivery was underwhelming

The Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax match was the only one with a really coherent storyline. It ended with the babyface standing tall. The wicked witch of WWE has been vanquished forever. All's well that ends well.

Jax spoke up after her match. She addressed an important issue - bullying. This was a fantastic gesture from WWE and it was particularly cool of them to address an issue as sensitive as fat-shaming.

However, we just thought that her delivery of the promo seemed a little off. Jax probably has early championship jitters and will only get better as time passes.

As for the Goddess, we do hope we see her in the championship picture again down the line!
