WWE News Roundup: New Royal Rumble entrants revealed, Top star wants to face Roman Reigns, Nia Jax on Aliyah's record (January 15, 2022) 

#3. Nia Jax sends a heartfelt message to WWE SmackDown star Aliyah

Natalya wanted to be the one to break Trish Stratus' fastest WWE match time record of 3.8 seconds on this week's SmackDown. However, the tables turned when the veteran's opponent, Aliyah, won in 3.17 seconds instead.

This bout marked Aliyah's singles debut on the blue brand. So regardless of where her career goes from here, the 27-year-old has already left a significant mark on WWE by achieving the fastest win ever in the company's history.

Following the SmackDown star's triumph over Natalya, Nia Jax took to Twitter to send her a heartwarming message:

Aliyah responded to the former RAW Women's Champion as well:

The two women appear to be close friends, and they have an in-ring history with each other as well. Jax and Aliyah shared the ring seven times as rivals between 2015 and 2016.

Most of these matches went down at NXT house shows, and whether it be in singles or tag team competition, the 37-year-old emerged victoriously on every occasion.

While Aliyah is currently looking to cement herself as one of the company's top names, Nia Jax departed the sports entertainment world last year after receiving her release.
