Nia Jax has dared a 26-year-old WWE Superstar to "come beat her up," and she has responded by saying it would be an honor to do so. The young star in question is NXT's Lash Legend.
The Irresistible Force will be in action this Saturday night at WWE Elimination Chamber. She is scheduled to battle Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship at the premium live event in Perth, Australia. The 39-year-old attacked the participants in the Women's Elimination Chamber match this past Monday night on WWE RAW.
The winner of the Women's Elimination Chamber match will go on to challenge for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 40. Rhea Ripley delivered one final warning to Nia Jax during her appearance on WWE's The Bump today and advised the veteran to run.
Jax took to social media today to praise NXT star Lash Legend. She referred to her as a "living legend" and dared her to try and beat her up.
