40-year-old star has improved a lot since returning to WWE under Triple H's regime, says veteran (Exclusive)

A lot of notable names returned to WWE after Triple H took control of the creative duties from Vince McMahon. While a lot of rehires have fared well in their second chance, Nia Jax is widely regarded as The Game's best rehire. She recently received praise from wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell for her work since returning to the Stamford-based company.

Nia Jax returned to the global wrestling juggernaut in 2023 after being released in 2021. She has done some of the best work of her career since returning, winning the 2024 Queen of the Ring tournament and the WWE Women's Championship. The Irresistible Force has shown improvement both in and outside the ring and is currently one of the top heels on SmackDown.

While speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk podcast, Dutch Mantell noted that Jax is not clumsy inside the squared circle anymore in addition to being a great talker. The former WWE manager mentioned that he thinks Triple H and Co. have worked a lot on the 40-year-old star.

"She (Nia Jax) is not as clumsy as she used to be. I think, they have really worked with that girl. I am glad she’s a lot better. She’s a great talker, when she says something, you listen to her. She talks very well," Dutch Mantell said. [1:03:13 - 1:03:29]
