So in today’s video we’ll be taking a look at a pretty serious backstage issue between
Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, and another unnamed superstar
So Paige was recently doing a livestream where she brought some of her close wwe friends
on and they were all talking and telling old stories
Nia Jax was one of the guests, Nia Jax has just made her epic return to WWE television
recently after being gone from the ring for over a year
Nia and Paige are extremely close and as you saw on Raw, Nia’s new finisher is actually
Paige’s Ram-Paige finisher.
It was a nice little nod from Nia to one of her closest friends that’s no longer able
to compete in the ring
After raw, Paige revealed that Nia did ask permission for the move and Paige absolutely
granted her the permission for the finisher
Paige complimented Nia on using her finisher and had this to say on Twitter:
“You never use another person’s finishing move unless it is given to you.
I gave it to Nia Jax and I have chills.
Proud moment.”
So Nia was one of the guests on Paige’s stream and Nia got into some great detail
about a serious backstage situation from a few years ago
From the details that Nia gave, this story sounds like it took place in mid to late 2018
Alexa Bliss was on top of the roster as Raw women’s champion at the time, but it was
clear that WWE was ready to crown Ronda Rousey as the new raw women’s champion
So that’s exactly what happened, Ronda Rousey dominated Alexa Bliss and became the new raw
women’s champion
And this is around the same time frame that Nia gives us for her story
Nia told the story on how Alexa Bliss was working with a “certain somebody” and
was constantly getting hurt and Alexa didn’t want speak up and say anything to management
That’s when Nia stepped in and helped Alexa during this really rough time for her.
Here’s what Nia Jax had to say courtesy of Paige’s live-stream:
“She was working an angle and she was continuously getting hurt [in a] certain angle with somebody.
I remember her not saying anything, specifically because she wanted to be a team player.
She was so nervous and she wanted to be a team player…”
“Me personally from the outside looking in, I was so angry.
I was like, ‘no, she cannot do this anymore.’
I personally would not allow her to get back in the ring to get hurt again.
I had to go to the higher-ups and I had to put down a certain foot and say, ‘listen,
Lexi is five foot nothing, 100 pounds getting thrown around like a ragdoll and injured every
night.’”
“I was like put me in.
I’m 6 foot 300-pounds.
I can handle it.
I understand there’s a certain thing of being quiet and taking it and being like no,
I want to be a team player.
And there’s another side where it’s like I can’t allow to see one of my good friends,
who I want to see be here in five years so I can continue to work her..like getting hurt.
I need to stand up and be there for her and make sure that her livelihood is going to
be okay when she’s done here.”
So Nia Jax obviously didn’t mention the name of this superstar that was being reckless
with Alexa Bliss, but it’s pretty obvious to guess who it was
I saw some people talking about Sasha Banks possibly being the superstar in question here,
but that’s absolutely wrong.
People are just assuming that because of Sasha and Alexa’s history with each other, but
Sasha wasn’t the one being discussed here.
Nia mentioned that this person was tossing Alexa all over the ring and Sasha has never
done that to Alexa.
The superstar that Nia is talking about in this story is absolutely Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey wasn’t doing it on purpose by any means, but that’s just how her in-ring
style is, she’s just really rough
So she was throwing Alexa all over the ring recklessly when Alexa couldn’t really handle
it
Alexa Bliss was concussed by Ronda Rousey a handful of times within a short period of
time
Alexa was just recovering from her first injury at the hands of Ronda Rousey and returned
during a live event house show, but her opponent that night was once again Ronda Rousey.
So on that same night that Alexa was making her return after missing several weeks, Alexa
was concussed by Ronda Rousey for a second time.
And it seems like this was the breaking point for Nia Jax.
In Alexa Bliss’ 365 documentary from the WWE network, Alexa even comments on how Nia
helped her that night, Alexa had this to say during that documentary:
“I was crying and the doctor said ‘I think you are concussed’.
That’s when Nia...you know, stepped in and said I’m gonna call your mom and tell her
you’re going home, you’re staying with me tonight, I’m driving you and she kinda
just took me under wing that night”
So it looks like that night was when Nia Jax had saw enough.
She cared for Alexa Bliss that night and shortly approached WWE management after that live
event show.
You can understand why Alexa didn’t want to say anything, you don’t want refuse a
match and refuse to work with somebody, that does sound a bit wrong, but Alexa’s situation
was way more serious
WWE was about to put Alexa Bliss into early retirement because they just didn’t know
what was happening with Alexa getting hurt all the time.
And this whole thing started to make Alexa look bad as well because everyone was looking
at her like if she was beyond delicate to be facing these issues every single time she
wrestled
So this story was most definitely about Ronda Rousey and what was happening to Alexa Bliss
during those matches with Ronda
Alexa is really lucky to have a friend like Nia that was keeping a close eye on the situation
and decided that enough is enough and put an end to Alexa getting in the ring with Ronda
Rousey
Who knows if Alexa would’ve been able to make it back to the ring if she had another
encounter with Ronda Rousey, so Nia stepped in at the right time and pretty much saved
Alexa’s pro wrestling career
So for today’s bonus story we’ll be taking a look at John Cena’s first message since
his loss in the firefly funhouse that seems to be hinting at his retirement
Was this John Cena’s final match in the WWE?
Let’s swap over and take a look at that story....
So interesting message there by John Cena.
There’s just no way Cena will retire in a match that wasn’t even a physical match
and a match that wasn’t in front of a live crowd.
Cena just can’t go out like that, so it’s safe to assume that we’ll get at least another
big match out of John Cena once the crowds and everything else returns to normal.
But what are your thoughts on Nia Jax’s backstage story about Alexa Bliss and John
Cena’s hints about his retirement?
