#1. Nia Jax's knee injury is much worse than you think
Total Divas Season 9 followed Nia Jax, as she struggled through significant injuries to both knees. Jax was in so much pain that it affected her personality, but she still carried on wrestling despite the excruciating pain. Nia confirmed that she had been experiencing knee pain for the past year, but that she didn't want to let it stop her "from being able to push past the pain."
Nia pushed herself and was able to wrestle alongside Tamina Snuka at WrestleMania 35 despite having no ACL in either knee and inevitably having to undergo double knee surgery. Jax very much believed that her WrestleMania 35 match could be her last.
Jax commented,
"I have no ACL in my knee. I've been working on it for - I don't know how long, which makes sense as to why I've been in so much pain throughout the whole year."
Jax described her body as "breaking down" and expressed concerns about her career coming to an end. She was also told that she would be at a higher risk of re-tear in the future.
More will be revealed on the special two-hour Total Divas Season 9 finale, which airs on E! this Tuesday at 10 PM EST.
