"My cousin Nia will do big things with class" - The Rock

Nia Jax with The Rock

WWE NXT newcomer Nia Jax, in the first look, looks like a force to be reckoned with. At 272 lbs, Jax has been laying waste to everyone she has stepped in the ring with, including WWE NXT Divas champion Bayley, following her match against Eva Marie last week.

Jax, who is related to the legendary WWE Superstar The Rock, was in the company of the ‘People’s champ’, who took to Facebook to shower praise on his cousin. The Brahmabull mentioned how he spoke to Nia for hours on her goals and had some advice for her. The post is below:

Pleasure having my cousin and future WWE Diva Nia Jax come thru the â?ª#IronParadiseâ?¬. As her mentor we talked for hours about her goals and the hard work it’s gonna take to achieve them. I asked Nia (real name Lina Fanene) what her #1 goal is and she simply said, “greatness”. Y’all know I had a big ass smile on my face when I heard that!

I told her don’t worry about championship titles and don’t be concerned about becoming famous, just always remember that the most powerful thing you can be IN AND OUT of the wrestling ring, is yourself… All 5’11 272lbs of beautiful, Samoan, German, authentic, savage, humble, hungry dominant woman. Be real, be you and greatness will come. Y’all KNOW she then cracked a big ass smile too.

You guys keep an eye out for my cousin.. one day she’ll do big things and she’ll do it with class and humility and more importantly, she’ll do it just being herself.
