5 things you didn't know about WWE's 'Irresistible Force' Nia Jax 

#3. Nia Jax wasn't her original ring name

Nia Jax has had 3 ring names

Nia Jax is a unique ring name and one that has allowed the Samoan star to flourish in WWE even though she was known as The Rock's cousin in her early years. Jax hasn't had it easy since she was billed as a monster before Ronda Rousey came in and took over the Women's Division.

The same issue has arisen with Shayna Baszler on RAW at present, but it appears that the company could be handling this much differently.

Whilst she will forever be known as Nia Jax to WWE fans, she debuted on NXT under a different name. The Irresistible Force tagged with the now released star Devon Taylor and took on the team of Carmella and Bayley, a match which Jax lost whilst under the ring name Zada.

Of course, she was repackaged and debuted as her current character a few weeks later. This allowed her to go on a dominant run in NXT, and after just a year in the developmental brand, she was promoted to the company's main roster.
