WWE has no dearth of talented stars in its roster, with some names attaining legend status even before retiring. According to wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell, one particular star is currently a big draw in terms of popularity and is likely to be a great source of revenue.
The star in question is Nia Jax, who is the reigning WWE Women's Champion. Her skill in the ring is unquestionable, allowing her to win several other titles in her career. With her current storyline alongside Tiffany Stratton, she has established herself as someone to watch out for. Nia is slated to face Bayley at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event on October 5.
On this week's episode of Sportskeeda's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell was asked about who he thinks will win between Nia Jax and Bayley. He stated:
"I think they found something in Nia Jax. They've found something in her. Because if you look at it just by sheer size, even guys look at her and say, damn, she'd whoop my a**. (...) I think they found something with Nia Jax, and they almost got a cash flow with her rolling, and I don't think they are gonna mess with it yet, and Nia Jax she is over by pinfall. Straight up, I think. " [7:58 onwards]

According to Dutch Mantell, CM Punk may have real-life heat with his on-screen rival, Drew McIntyre.

"I think there is some legit heat there, down below the surface. But hey, they gotta make a living. They gotta make... But that's even good for business when the fans can say, 'you know, really down deep, they f****ng hate each other.'" [5:06 onwards]
