WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax has shown off a new look ahead of tonight's edition of SmackDown. This week's episode of the blue brand will air live from Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Nia Jax captured the WWE Women's Championship by defeating Bayley at SummerSlam last month. She successfully defended the title against Michin in a Street Fight last week on SmackDown. Ahead of tonight's show, The Irresistible Force took to her Instagram story to show off a new look. You can check out her Instagram story by clicking here.
"@Olesia23 killed it on my hair," she wrote.
Bayley returned to SmackDown last week during the Street Fight for the WWE Women's Championship and brawled with Tiffany Stratton. The Role Model will be squaring off against Stratton later tonight in a singles match on SmackDown.
This week's episode of SmackDown is also the final show on Fox before the blue brand makes the jump to the USA Network next Friday night.
Vince Russo believes popular WWE star should dethrone Nia Jax
Former WWE writer, Vince Russo, recently suggested that Chelsea Green should turn babyface and defeat Nia Jax to become champion.
Green almost won the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match earlier this year, but came up just short. Tiffany Stratton shoved the 33-year-old off the ladder and retrieved the briefcase to win the match. The Buff Barbie can cash in her MITB contract for a title match whenever she chooses.
Russo took to social media this week to suggest Chelsea Green as the next WWE Women's Champion. He claimed it was a "no-brainer" to turn Green babyface into a rivalry against Nia Jax.
"At what point do we stop fooling around and put the Woman's Title on @ImChelseaGreen. C'mon, bro, time after time you put the belt on people you deem 'deserves it', Bailey, Zane, etc., but not Chelsea? Bro . . . no brainer. Put her in there with a heel, Nia, and you're looking at a huge babyface. Are you not seeing that?" he wrote.

Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax are currently aligned on SmackDown. Only time will tell if Stratton decides to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on the veteran anytime soon.
