4 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 3 we hope aren't: Original plans for The Rock at Survivor Series, WWE replaces Nia Jax with RAW star?

#3. Hope isn't true: The reason why WWE fired Nia Jax and replaced her with a RAW star

Nia Jax is undoubtedly among the top 10 most shocking releases by WWE since 2020. Some could even argue that she is a part of the top five, since she is related to The Rock and is a homegrown superstar.

Her unique look made her an asset to the women's division, although she has been under scrutiny by fans numerous times for botches in the ring. With that said, the news of her release was unfortunate, and rumors emerged that her unvaccinated status was the reason why the company let her go.

Jax denied these reports herself, and Dave Meltzer revealed on the Wrestling Observer Radio that the former RAW Women's Champion wanted to extend her break, which is why WWE fired her. Not only this, but he added that Doudrop has now taken her spot on the red brand:

“The Doudrop spot was probably the spot they wanted Nia Jax in. Because if you remember they wanted Nia Jax back by mid-November and when she said no that’s when they fired her and that is when the Doudrop thing started being, you know,'' said Meltzer.

We hope this isn't true because Nia Jax and Doudrop are two completely different superstars. It further highlights Vince McMahon's promotion's approach of viewing every star as replaceable.
