WWE Superstar Nia Jax competed in her first WarGames at the recently concluded Survivor Series Premium Live Event. The Irresistible Force was involved in a hilarious botch during the match.

The 40-year-old kicked off the proceedings against long-time rival Bayley. Jax dominated against The Role Model before Naomi hit the ring as the second entrant and ran wild. Nia's ally, Candice LeRae, was the second member of Liv Morgan's team to enter the structure.

Before entering the squared circle, the WWE Women's Speed Champion passed on a chair to her teammate. In a spot reminiscing wrestling legend Hulk Hogan's infamous chair shots, Jax merely tapped The Glow on the side. Her follow-up chair shot on Bayley's back also looked awkward and weak.

The sequence did not go well with wrestling fans, as many took to X/Twitter to criticize the WWE Women's Champion for the spot. Nia has had a history of getting called out by fans for her in-ring work. It used to happen a lot during her last run with the wrestling promotion.

While many WWE fans criticized Nia Jax, several others supported the SmackDown Superstar, trying to reason why the chair shots were weak. Some users noted Jax might have been extra cautious due to the backlash she received for accidentally injuring her opponents in the past.

Tiffany Stratton teased cashing in the WWE Women's Money in the Bank contract after taking out Nia Jax

Ms. Money in the Bank, Tiffany Stratton, also competed in WarGames as a member of Liv Morgan's team. During the match, The Buff Barbie jumped off the cage onto several stars, including Jax and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan.

With both the champions lying flat in front of her, Stratton pulled out the Women's Money in the Bank briefcase from a trash can. Unfortunately for the former NXT Women's Champion, IYO SKY used a fire extinguisher to spoil the cash-in attempt.

Despite being an ally to the WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratton has teased cashing in the MITB contract on Nia Jax on multiple occasions. However, the two have managed to stick together. It will be interesting to see if Stratton decides to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on Nia to win her first championship on the main roster.
