Nia Jax’s past could come back to haunt her at Bad Blood 2024

Nia Jax has been on a tear on SmackDown heading into Bad Blood, where she'll defend her WWE Women's Championship against Bayley. The Queen of the Ring has even lashed out at her friend Tiffany Stratton amid her tyrannical reign as champion. However, with the enemies the Irresistible Force has made over the years, she might get her comeuppance.

Charlotte Flair could make a blockbuster return at the PLE in Atlanta, Georgia, this Saturday (October 5). The 'real' Queen of WWE had plenty of run-ins with Jax in the past, and she could be the one to put the champ in her place. The 14-time women's world champion hasn't appeared in the company since December 2023. She suffered a torn MCL, ACL, and meniscus and has been recovering ahead of a return to SmackDown.

Charlotte and Nia Jax feuded over the RAW Women's Championship on the red brand in August 2021. The Nature Girl defended the title against the Australian star, but their match turned into somewhat of a shoot.

The apparent real-life animosity between the pair could make for an intense rivalry if Charlotte returns to prove she's the real Queen. There's also the prospect of Tiffany Stratton taking advantage and cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase.

Nia's past would well and truly have come back to haunt her, while her present would leave her in ruin. The Queen of the Ring will have fallen, losing her crown and title at Bad Blood.

"A miscommunication" - Nia Jax on the RAW match against Charlotte amid the latter's potential Bad Blood return

Charlotte and Nia Jax's match on RAW soon became a hot topic of discussion, with many questioning whether they had real-life issues. The commentary team even pointed out how physical their battle became.

Nia recalled the match in an interview with Renee Paquette on The Sessions a few months later. She explained "there was a miscommunication" and that Charlotte started 'laying into her.' She claims to have been taken aback by their exchange but did call the one-time Royal Rumble winner her friend.

Charlotte is arguably the biggest woman's star in WWE history and the most successful. Her absence has been felt on SmackDown, with no babyface being able to step up to the reigning champion ahead of Bad Blood.

Bayley gets the opportunity to reclaim the title she lost to Nia at SummerSlam when she faces her at Bad Blood. She could reunite with Charlotte and get help in dethroning their longtime rival.

Charlotte isn't the only one with issues with the WWE Women's Champion

Charlotte joins a long and growing list of WWE Superstars on the roster who have been at loggerheads with Nia Jax throughout her career. She's been a menace since arriving in the promotion in 2014 en route to becoming a two-time world champion.

Alexa Bliss has also had her run-ins with Nia despite previously tagging with her. The currently sidelined Miss Bliss feuded with her and fought her at WrestleMania 35, losing her title to the Irresistible Force.

Becky Lynch has left WWE, but she had a rivalry with The Annihilator earlier this year. A victory over The Man kickstarted the latter's push towards the main event scene and eventual Queen of the Ring and world title victories.

Tiffany Stratton could be the one to dethrone her ally at Bad Blood

Tiffany Stratton is the current Miss Money in the Bank, and with that comes the temptation to cash in on her ally, Nia Jax. The pair have had issues lately, with the champ grabbing her by the throat on last week's SmackDown.

Despite playing a heel character, Tiffy in the Bank is a hit with fans. She's majorly over, particularly in Australia, where she starred at Elimination Chamber in Perth earlier this year.

Thus, Stratton could be the one to take the title off Nia Jax and end her reign as world champion. This might lead to a babyface run and the pair engaging in a long-term feud after a cash-in at Bad Blood.
