Savelina Fanene is an Australian born-American Professional Wrestler, who is currently signed with WWE under the ring name Nia Jax. She started her pro-wrestling training at WWE Performance Center in 2014 and made her in-ring debut in 2015 at NXT house show under the ring name Zada. On her debut match, she teamed up with Devin Taylor and lost against Bayley and Carmella. She then changed her name to Nia Jax and made her NXT television debut. She maintained a winning streak and became heel in the process. She had a brief run in NXT and was soon called up for the main roster debut.
Jax made her main roster debut in Raw as a part of the 2016 Superstar Shakeup. She continued to be a dominant wrestler in the women's division with a win streak in the main roster. Jax has been involved in multiple feuds and storylines as a heel until 2018.
Jax started teaming up with Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss and assisted her to retain her championship on various occasions. However Bliss turned on Jax by insulting her, which made her the face for the first time. Jax challenged Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 34 and won the championship for the first time in her career. However Bliss took the championship off from her by cashing-in her Money in the Bank Briefcase. She was then sidelined and was written off from television for a long time due to a torn ACL.
Jax returned after nine-months hiatus as a heel in 2020 and teamed up with Shayna Baszler. Where both dominated the women's division as a team and became the two times WWE Women's Championship. After losing the championship both turned on each other, where Baszler brutalized Jax by stomping her arm wedged over the steel steps. Jax was released from the company and was blamed for hurting fellow wrestlers.
After two years, The Irresistible returned to WWE in September 2023 by costing the match for Raquel Rodriguez and injuring Rhea Ripley. She also continued her attack on Baszler, Green, Zoey Stark and Lipen Niven.

She stands at a height of 6 feet tall, which is 183 centimeters in length. She uses her height and weight as her advantage to crush her opponents. She uses Samoan Drop as her finisher under the name Annihilator, which only less members of the women's wrestlers use. Although being a dominant wrestler and great in-ring abilities, Jax is one of the most criticized women's wrestlers.

It was one of the major reasons why Jax was not signed into the company for so long since her latest release in 2021.
