Most wrestling careers start in the most fairytale of fashions, life-long wrestling fans dream their whole life to enter the squared circle. For Nia, this may not have been the case.

Yes, being born into a wrestling dynasty meant the sport would be an ever-constant in the Jax household, however, it still wasn't her first love until one match changed everything.

Wrestlemania 28, a show headlined by the once in a lifetime bout of John Cena vs. The Rock, a match that captured the imagination of the entire world, it was the most successful WWE PPV of all time, not just because of the buy rates but also due to the effect that it had on pop culture.

In a wrestling classic, the Rock would go on to end Wrestlemania 28 standing tall, to the delight of millions around the world, including Nia Jax. The match inspired her to get into wrestling and she went straight to Afa's wrestling school right after.
