#2 Flopped on WWE RAW: Nia Jax

Nia Jax made an appearance during two matches on WWE RAW this week. First, she accompanied her tag team partner Shayna Baszler when the latter took on Lana. Following that, Nia Jax locked horns with the WWE RAW Women’s Champion Asuka. While Jax wanted to make a statement tonight, her in-ring performance did not compliment her intention.

We could probably cut her some slack as it appeared that Jax was more interested in what would follow after her match. But that was too evident, and it affected her completely inside the ring. Given the fact that her match against Asuka ended in another disqualification, it didn’t do much to establish Jax as a dominant force. After the match, she put Lana through the table for the eighth time on WWE RAW.

On the contrary, Baszler was able to do more with her match against Lana. To her credit, this match actually ended up making Lana look much stronger inside the ring. Jax should also adopt a similar style because picking up on someone who is much, much weaker than her does nothing to make her look strong. Instead, it ends up undermining her entire credibility on WWE RAW.
